Privacy Policy

Vibe collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics, no servers, and no network access at all. Your music, and everything Vibe works out about it, stays on your device.

What Vibe collects

Nothing. Vibe does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal information. There is no sign-in, no user profile, no usage tracking, no crash reporting, and no advertising.

What stays on your device

To do its job, Vibe reads and stores things locally, inside its own sandboxed container:

• The audio files you open, and the folders you grant it access to.
• Tags, artwork, tempo, and waveform data read from those files, cached so the next open is fast.
• Your settings and playback state, plus three local counters — files opened, folders opened, and total time played — shown in the About window.

None of it leaves your Mac or iPhone, and deleting the app removes it.

Network access

Vibe has none. On macOS it runs in Apple’s App Sandbox without the network client entitlement, so the operating system will not permit it to open an outbound connection even if it tried. The only links that leave the app are ones you click yourself — the GitHub links in the About window — which open in your browser.

Files kept in cloud storage

If you play a file stored in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or another file provider, macOS or iOS downloads it through that provider’s own system extension, under the account you have already signed into. Vibe asks the operating system for the file; it never contacts the provider itself and never sees your credentials. That provider’s privacy policy governs the transfer.

Now Playing

While a track is playing, Vibe hands its title, artist, and artwork to the operating system’s Now Playing service, so the track can appear in Control Center, on the Lock Screen, and on connected accessories. That is a system feature, and Vibe is not the one distributing the information.

The App Store

If you installed Vibe from the App Store, Apple handled the download and any purchase. Apple gives me aggregate, anonymous sales figures, and crash reports from users who chose to share diagnostics with developers. None of that identifies you to me. Apple’s privacy policy governs it.

Children

Vibe collects no information from anyone, children included.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page and the date above changes with it. Vibe’s source code is public, so any change to what the app actually does is visible in the commit history.
