Privacy

Your work stays yours.

Atelier has no account and no tracking, and sends nothing about your work to us. This is everything the app and this website send over the network, and to whom.

The app

Update checks. On a Mac, at launch and every six hours Atelier asks useatelier.dev for new versions. The request carries the app version and whether it is the first check of the day, week or month: that is how active installs are counted. No identifier, nothing about your projects, sessions or files. Set the channel to Off in Settings › About and the update check sends nothing. On Windows the Microsoft Store installs and updates Atelier, under Microsoft's terms, and the app itself checks nothing.
Dictation. Speech is transcribed on your computer. The optional clean-up sends the text, never the audio, to Claude Haiku through your own Claude Code.
Connectors. ClickUp, Notion and Jira talk to their own service only after you connect them; their tokens are encrypted in your Keychain (on Windows, with Windows' data protection for your account). Atelier only reads, and in Notion and Jira only the databases and projects you choose. An automation that is on reads the list, database or project it watches every few minutes, from your computer, and only while Atelier is running.
Git and GitHub. Source Control fetches from your project's remotes, and pushes and pulls only when you ask; pull request status comes from your own GitHub CLI (gh). All with your own credentials. Turn fetching or pull requests off in Settings › Source Control.
Commit messages. When Claude writes a commit message (✦), Atelier sends the staged changes and, unless you turn it off, what your sessions were asked to Claude through your own Claude Code. Files that look like secrets are left out. Turn it off in Settings › Source Control.
Docker. Atelier reads your containers from the Docker engine on your computer, over its local socket (a named pipe on Windows) and only to read: nothing leaves your computer. Turn it off in Settings › Docker.
Redis. Atelier connects only to Redis servers on your computer (local ports, and sockets on a Mac), never to another host. Passwords you type are encrypted like the connectors' tokens, and nothing leaves your computer. Turn it off in Settings › Redis.
Claude Code. Your sessions run your own claude CLI, under your Claude account and its terms.
