Privacy

Claudette is designed with a simple privacy principle: your data stays on your machine.

No Accounts

Claudette has no user registration, no login, and no accounts. You download the app and start using it — there’s nothing to sign up for.

No Remote Servers

Claudette does not operate any remote servers. Nothing you do in Claudette is transmitted to any servers managed by Claudette or utensils. There is:

• No telemetry
• No analytics
• No crash reporting
• No usage tracking
• No session recording

Data Flow

All AI communication flows directly between your machine and Anthropic. Claudette runs Claude Code as a local subprocess — your prompts and code go straight to Anthropic’s API, governed by Anthropic’s privacy policy and your own API agreement.

  Claudette (local app)

Claudette never proxies, intercepts, or stores your API traffic on any third-party server.

Local Storage

Claudette stores workspace metadata and chat history in a local SQLite database on your machine:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.claudette.app/
• Linux: ~/.local/share/com.claudette.app/

This database contains workspace names, chat messages, and settings — all stored locally. You can back it up, delete it, or move it at any time.

Remote Workspaces

The optional remote workspaces feature connects to servers you set up and control. Claudette never routes traffic through our infrastructure. The connection is:

• End-to-end encrypted with TLS
• Authenticated with trust-on-first-use certificate pinning
• Your servers only — you run claudette-server on your own machines

Open Source

Claudette is fully open source under the MIT License. The entire codebase is available for audit at github.com/utensils/Claudette.
