Privacy policy

Linea is built by Edu Pazmiño Peralta. The short version: the app is free, we collect anonymous aggregate product metrics (never your code or prompts), the website counts visits the same way, and we do not bill you or store a license.

1. What the app collects

Anonymous, aggregate product analytics only — via our self-hosted instance of Umami (open-source, cookie-less, running on our own server; the same system this website uses). Production builds may report coarse usage so we can improve the product:

• That a session started and roughly how long it lasted, plus how many terminals, workspaces, and agents you opened in that session (counts only).
• Which coding agents were opened (e.g. claude, codex, grok) and which built-in commands or features were used (command ids like “terminal.new”, never what you typed).
• Whether optional surfaces were used: editor, pull-request pane, command palette, themes, detach-to-new-window, agent-hooks install, and updates.
• Coarse environment: OS family, UI language, app version.

We do not collect your code, files, prompts, project paths, or any account identifier. There is no advertising, no third-party tracker, and no crash reporter that phones home. Debug builds send nothing. We honor the browser/OS Do Not Track setting. Everything you type and open in Linea stays on your machine except these anonymous counters.

• Update checks request a static file that lists the latest version; they do not identify you.

2. What this website collects

The same self-hosted Umami instance counts page views and downloads in aggregate. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint you, and stores no personal data. No data is shared with third-party ad or analytics companies.

3. No account, no payment

Linea is free to download for macOS, Windows and Linux. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no license file. We do not process payments and we do not store an email or device identifier for billing.

4. Emails

We only email you when you write to us. There is no newsletter, and we will never sell or share your address.

5. Your rights

We operate from Spain (European Union) and honor GDPR rights — access, rectification, deletion and portability. Asking us to delete whatever we hold about you (typically nothing beyond an email you sent) is enough.

6. Contact

Privacy questions, data requests or anything else: contact@runlinea.com.

Linea for iPhone & iPad

Linea on the App Store is a free companion to the desktop app. It pairs directly with your own computer and mirrors your terminals and agents on your phone. It follows the same principle as the desktop app: it collects nothing extra.

• No account, no purchases. The iOS app has no sign-in and no in-app purchases. The desktop app is also free.
• Peer-to-peer only. The app connects straight to your Mac, over your local network or an encrypted relay. Your terminals, conversations and code travel only between your own devices — they never reach our servers or any third party.
• Camera. Used solely to scan the pairing QR code shown by Linea on your Mac. Frames are processed on-device to read the code and are never stored or transmitted.
• Local network. Used only to find and connect to your Mac on the same Wi‑Fi for a faster, private link.
• No analytics or tracking. The iOS app bundles no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs.

Want to try it without a Mac? The app's built-in demo runs entirely on bundled sample data — no pairing, no account, nothing leaves the device.
