RelayPulse — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 September 2026 · Applies to RelayPulse for iPhone and RelayPulse for macOS

The short version: RelayPulse has no backend. We operate no servers, we receive no data from the app, and we have no account system. Everything the app stores stays on your own device. Monitoring traffic goes only to the servers you configure; the app also reads a few public sources, listed in full below.

What the app connects to

RelayPulse is an administration tool for servers you already own. It connects only to destinations you enter yourself:

Your relay servers — over SSH, and/or over HTTPS to the optional monitoring agent you install on them.
Public reference data (macOS app) — a public network-statistics API (api.ec.anyone.tech) for network-wide figures, a public Ethereum RPC and public price APIs to show what your addresses have earned, a public IP lookup service (ifconfig.me, api.ipify.org or icanhazip.com) to show your server's outward address, and a third-party RSS proxy (rsshub.app, with rsshub.pseudoyu.com and rss.noleron.com as fallbacks) for the news feed. These are read-only requests with no credentials, but the services do see the requesting IP address.
Your AI provider (optional) — only if you enable AI-assisted diagnosis and supply your own API key. In that case the error message and recent log lines from the affected server are sent to OpenAI or Anthropic under your own account and their privacy policy. This feature is off unless you turn it on.
Public project pages — shortcut links in the app (a status dashboard, a blog and social accounts) open normally in a web view.

There is no RelayPulse server anywhere in that list. Nothing is proxied through us, and none of these requests carry your keys, your server list or your measurements.

What is stored, and where

All of it stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us.

SSH private key and passwords — stored in the system Keychain (iOS) or with Encrypted Storage (macOS, Electron safeStorage), never in plain files.
Agent tokens — same protected storage.
Server list (names, host addresses, ports, wallet addresses you enter) — in the app's own storage on the device.
Measurements (uptime, bandwidth, CPU, memory, connection counts) — kept locally so the app can show history and detect problems.
AI settings — your API key goes to the Keychain; the rest are ordinary settings.

What we collect

Nothing. RelayPulse contains no analytics, no crash reporting SDK, no advertising, no tracking identifiers, and no third-party telemetry. We cannot see your servers, your keys, your measurements, or even whether you use the app.

Demo mode

The app ships with a "Demo data" switch that fills the screens with a fictional sample fleet so you can look around before adding real servers. While demo mode is on, no relay is contacted: no SSH session is opened and no monitoring agent is queried. The public sources listed above still work, so the news and network-statistics panels are not blank. The sample addresses are from the ranges reserved for documentation (RFC 5737) and belong to no real machine.

Local network access (iPhone)

If a relay you add happens to be on your own local network, iOS asks for permission before the app can reach it. RelayPulse only contacts the address you typed in. It does not scan, enumerate or discover devices on your network.

Data sharing

We do not sell, share, rent, or transfer any data, because we never receive any. Data about your fleet leaves your device only to the servers you configured, and — if you explicitly enable it — to the AI provider whose key you supplied. The public sources listed above receive an ordinary web request and nothing about you beyond the IP address any web request carries.

Children

RelayPulse is a technical administration tool intended for adults who operate their own servers. It is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone.

Your rights

Because all data is on your device and under your control, you can inspect it in the app, change it, or remove it at any time. Deleting the app removes everything it stored, including the keys held in the Keychain.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what the app does with your data, the updated version will be published at this address with a new date at the top.
