Privacy Policy

Last updated September 27, 2026

LogRaker is a log-monitoring app for macOS, with a free companion app for Apple TV, built to keep your data yours. We designed it to collect as little as possible, and in the Mac App Store edition, nothing at all. This policy explains what that means.

Your logs and credentials stay yours

LogRaker connects only to the sources you configure: your SSH servers, local files, and cloud logging accounts (Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Firebase, Supabase). Your log data flows directly between your Mac and those sources. We never receive, see, or store it.

The servers, streams, and settings you create are stored on your Mac. Credentials such as SSH keys, passphrases, and cloud access keys are stored in the macOS Keychain. If you enable iCloud sync, this configuration syncs across your own devices through your private iCloud (Apple's CloudKit private database and iCloud Keychain). That data lives in your Apple account; we have no access to it.

LogRaker for Apple TV

The Apple TV app collects nothing. It never connects to your servers and never holds a password or a key. It shows only the Dashboard cards your Mac sends it over your local network, on an encrypted connection. Pairing happens through your own iCloud account, or with a six-digit code you type on your Mac, and the pairing token stays on the Apple TV and in your private iCloud. We never receive any of it.

Mac App Store edition

The Mac App Store edition collects no data. It does not contact our servers, and it contains no analytics or tracking. Your free trial is tracked entirely on your device, and your purchase is handled by Apple; we never receive your payment details.

Direct-download edition

The edition downloaded from our website is the same app, with a few minimal, privacy-preserving exceptions needed to run it outside the App Store:

• Free-trial integrity. To offer a 14-day trial without requiring an account, we record an anonymized, one-way hash of a device identifier so the trial can't be trivially reset. It is not personally identifying and is not linked to you.
• Aggregate counts. We tally downloads and update checks in aggregate to understand adoption. These are simple counts, not profiles of individuals.
• Purchases. Payments are processed by our payment provider, Polar, which acts as merchant of record and handles your payment information under its own privacy policy. We receive only your order and license details (such as your email address and license key) so we can deliver and support your license.

This website

This website sets no cookies and runs no trackers or third-party scripts. Like any web server, it keeps a log of each request: the page, the page that linked to it (when the browser tells), the browser's name and version, the IP address and the country and city it belongs to. The log is kept for 90 days. We use it only to count page views and to see which sites, countries and cities visitors come from, never to identify or follow anyone.

What we never do

• No advertising, and no ad networks.
• No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
• No selling or sharing of your personal data.

Children

LogRaker is a developer tool intended for a general audience and is not directed at children.
