Privacy
Short version: no accounts, no tracking, and nothing that identifies you. This page states exactly what leaves your machine, because the browser extension asks for permissions that sound alarming and you deserve to know why.
Downloads happen entirely on your machine. File names, addresses and contents are never sent anywhere.
Two things do leave, both optional and both anonymous. The update check asks the website which version is current and carries a random identifier generated on first run, plus your platform and version — it is not derived from your hardware or any account, and reinstalling produces a new one. It exists so we can count installs rather than IP addresses. Turn off “Check for updates automatically” in Settings and it stops entirely.
The second is a diagnostic report, sent only if you tap Share on the banner the app shows after a crash or an abnormal resource reading. It contains numbers only: version, OS, uptime, memory, CPU and task counts.
The server stores the country our CDN derives at the edge. Your IP address is never written down.
The extension talks to one address: the engine running on your own computer, at 127.0.0.1. Nothing it reads is sent to us or to anyone else.
It asks for broad permissions because a download manager cannot work without them, and here is the specific reason for each:
Visits are counted with our own first-party analytics — no third-party service, no advertising network, no cross-site identifiers, and no cookies for tracking.
