Clyde collects nothing.

Clyde is a local macOS app. It does not have a backend, does not call home, does not contain any analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, remote logging, or third-party SDKs of any kind.

What Clyde reads

Clyde reads two things from your local file system:

• ~/.claude/ — to install its hook script and read Claude Code's settings.
• ~/.clyde/ — to read the per-session state files written by the hook.

What Clyde stores

User preferences (sound choices, snooze state, custom session names, drag-to-reorder positions) are stored in UserDefaults and a small JSON file at ~/.clyde/. All of it stays on your Mac.

What Clyde sends

Nothing. Clyde has no network code. You can verify this by reading the source on GitHub or by inspecting outgoing connections with Little Snitch / Lulu.
