SwarmNote is a decentralized, local-first notes app. We don't run any server and don't receive any data — there's literally nothing for us to collect. This statement just spells that out a bit more clearly.

1. We don't collect any user data

  • The app contains no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or event-tracking SDK.
  • No login, no account, no email, no IP retention.
  • Your notes always live as plain .md files in folders on your own disk.

2. P2P sync happens between your devices

  • Note content is synced only between your paired devices via direct libp2p connections — never through our servers.
  • For NAT traversal and peer discovery, the app talks to public libp2p bootstrap / DHT nodes. Those are an open network and not operated by SwarmNote.
  • Relay nodes are provided by the libp2p public default relay set today. We don't collect relay traffic content.

3. This website

  • Pure static site (Astro build output), hosted on GitHub Pages / Cloudflare Pages.
  • No cookies, no third-party analytics, no ad SDKs.
  • Fonts are self-hosted at build time (no Google Fonts call); icons are inline SVG.

4. Third-party dependencies

  • Download page asset links point to github.com (GitHub Releases CDN). Clicking download is governed by GitHub's own privacy policy.
  • Outbound footer links (GitHub / Issues / sibling projects) navigate to those sites and are governed by each site's own privacy policy.

5. Contact

  • Questions on this statement: file an issue at github.com/yexiyue/SwarmNote/issues.
