taki is local-first. What it learns about your work stays on your Mac.

what taki reads, on your Mac

• Git repositories in the folders you choose: branch, uncommitted files, your own commits, and whether you've tagged one of them (that earns pid a party hat).
• Which app is in front, how long since your last keypress or click, and which coding agents are running (claude, codex, opencode, cursor-agent) and in which folder.
• Whether the microphone is in use by another app, together with which call app is open (Zoom, Teams, Meet…), to tell a call from a break. taki never opens the microphone and hears nothing; macOS doesn't ask for permission because none is needed.
• The title Claude Code gives each session (like "Fix login redirect"), and nothing else from it: never your prompts, its replies or your code.
• The title of the window in front (an editor's file, a browser tab, a terminal's folder), only if you turn it on in config and allow Accessibility. Never what's inside the window, never keystrokes. Titles stay in memory and are never written to disk.
• Notes you leave yourself: what you're working on, and things parked for later.
• Your zsh history, only if you turn it on in config. It keeps just the tool and subcommand (pnpm test), never arguments.
• Events your own scripts send with taki-event.

what taki keeps

Everything lives in ~/Library/Application Support/taki: your settings, one activity line per minute, what taki thinks you're working on, a log of the work you did before (the task, the project, which apps and for how long; never window titles), the address of each project's git remote, like github.com/you/app, to recognize the same project on another computer (never the password or token a remote URL can carry), your journal (one Markdown file per day), the accessories pid has earned, and your license key. Delete the folder and it's gone.

what leaves your Mac

Your license key. taki checks it with Polar (api.polar.sh) when you activate it and about once a day after that. It sends the key and your Mac's name, so you can tell your activations apart.

The weather, only if you turn it on in config (it's off by default). About once an hour taki asks MET Norway (api.met.no) for the forecast at your time zone's main city, rounded to about 10 km: Buenos Aires for anyone set to Buenos Aires time. No location permission, no GPS, nothing else. Like any request, it reaches them from your IP address. Weather data by MET Norway, CC BY 4.0.

New versions. About once a day taki reads taki.pet/version.json, which only holds the latest version number, to tell you when there's a new one. It sends only taki's own version; like any request, it reaches us from your IP address. When you click the notice to install, taki sends your license key to taki.pet, which checks it with Polar and hands back the new version from your Polar downloads. taki.pet doesn't log or keep the key.

Nothing about your work is sent. No analytics, no tracking, no account.

buying taki

Polar is the merchant of record. It handles your payment, receipt and license key under its own privacy policy, at polar.sh.

Right after you pay, the thanks page asks Polar, through taki.pet, for your download link and license key so it can show them to you. That only works for a day after the purchase, and taki.pet doesn't log or keep either.
