Privacy

Stratos runs entirely on your machine. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no remote calls of any kind, except where you explicitly opt in.

What Stratos does not do

• It does not phone home.
• It does not collect crash reports or usage data.
• It does not upload your sites, code, mail, or database content.
• It does not require an account.

Network access

The first launch downloads bundled binaries from the official PHP, nginx, MariaDB, and Redis release pages. These downloads are required for the app to function. After the first launch, the app does not reach the network unless you explicitly use:

• Cloudflare tunnel sharing — opens a tunnel via Cloudflare's servers. The destination URL is shown in the app before you start the tunnel.
• Stratos update checks — checks GitHub for newer releases. This can be disabled in Settings → General → Update channel.

Local data

All state (sites, mail inbox, webhooks, settings) is stored under~/Library/Application Support/Stratosand is never transmitted off your machine. You can wipe everything with Settings → General → Uninstall….
