Privacy policy

In short

JaugeAI sells no data and shows no ads. No account, no tracking, no analytics. By default nothing leaves your Mac and your iCloud. One optional feature, the voice connector (JaugeAI Pro), sends your percentages to a JaugeAI server, and only if you turn it on.

What the Mac app reads

For Claude, the Mac app has two ways to read your limits.

• By default, Claude Code’s status line (new installs, since Mac 0.5.26). Claude Code itself passes the 5-hour session and the week to its status line; a small relay, installed in one click and removed just as easily, drops them into a file JaugeAI reads on your Mac. JaugeAI uses no token and contacts no server. The numbers update with each Claude Code reply in the Terminal.
• Optionally, full mode (Settings › Services), for every limit. JaugeAI reads, read-only, the session that the Claude Code tool saved in your keychain or its configuration folder, and uses it only to ask Anthropic’s usage server for your percentages (the same call as the /usage command). The token never leaves your Mac, except for that request to Anthropic. JaugeAI never renews that session itself and never copies the refresh token. When it has expired, JaugeAI asks the Claude Code tool to renew it by having it send one very short request, which counts against your limits like any message; after repeated failures, it spaces these requests out to one an hour. It reads it the same way the Claude Code tool does, with no authorization prompt. A copy of the access token may be kept in a keychain entry of JaugeAI’s own, on your Mac only. Macs where JaugeAI was installed before 0.5.26 stay in this mode.

The Mac app also reads Claude Code’s and Codex’s local files to compute the live session, advice and cost estimates (you can turn this off in its settings). It keeps only numbers and project names; the content of your conversations is never kept or sent. If Codex is installed, it asks the Codex tool itself, read-only, for your ChatGPT plan’s limits: Codex signs in on its own, JaugeAI never sees a credential.

Coding agents and the MCP server

If you enable the per-message line or questions on demand, your assistant can receive JaugeAI data: percentages, reset times and, with Pro, session details, project names, history, advice and estimates. The MCP server runs locally without network requests of its own. Its responses and per-message lines enter the conversation with your chosen assistant and may be processed by that assistant’s provider under its privacy rules. They are not sent to JaugeAI’s publisher. The plugin creates no account, reads no credentials and installs no automatic hook.

The voice connector (optional, JaugeAI Pro)

The voice connector lets ChatGPT and Claude read your limits, typed or spoken. It is off by default and is turned on in the Mac app under Settings › Services › Voice and mobile assistants.

• What is sent: for each service you follow (Claude, Codex, Gemini), its plan, the percentages used of its limits and their reset times, with the time of the reading. Nothing else: no project names, costs, conversations or service credentials.
• Identity: no account, no e-mail address. Your Mac gets a random identifier and a secret key, kept in its keychain. The server only stores fingerprints (hashes) of that key and of access tokens.
• Linking: an assistant can read your limits only after you enter a 6-digit code shown on your Mac, valid for 10 minutes.
• Retention: only the latest reading is kept, for 7 days at most. Assistant tokens expire after one hour (access) and 90 days (refresh). A Mac inactive for 90 days is forgotten.
• Erasure: “Turn off and erase” immediately deletes the identifier, the reading and every assistant’s access.
• Hosting: Vercel (Frankfurt region) and Upstash (database, Frankfurt region), in the European Union. These providers act on the publisher’s behalf.
• Assistants: what ChatGPT or Claude receives in a conversation is subject to OpenAI’s or Anthropic’s privacy rules.
• Legal basis: your consent, given by turning the connector on and withdrawn by turning it off.

What is stored, and where

• On the Mac: usage readings (percentages and reset times) for 90 days, a local diagnostic log and your settings.
• In your private iCloud: the latest reading and its history (percentages, daily summaries over 90 days), cost estimates, project names and advice, through Apple’s iCloud key-value storage, so your iPhone and Apple Watch can show them. This data only goes through your iCloud account; the publisher has no access to it.
• On iPhone and Watch: a local copy of that reading for widgets and complications.

What is never done

• Without the voice connector, no data is sent to the publisher. Data shared with your assistant when you enable coding agents follows the rules described above.
• The Mac app contacts Anthropic’s servers (Claude limits) and checks for updates. Codex and Antigravity are queried through their own tools, installed on your Mac, which handle their own sign-in. If you turn on the voice connector, the app also contacts connect.jaugeai.com (see above). The iPhone and Watch apps make no network request to any third party.
• No analytics, tracking or advertising tool is included, in the apps or on this website.
• The content of your conversations or sessions is neither kept nor sent.

Purchases

In the iPhone app, buying JaugeAI Pro is handled by Apple: JaugeAI receives no payment information and only checks, through StoreKit, whether the purchase is active.

On jaugeai.com and from the Mac app, the purchase is handled by Paddle.com Market Limited (London, United Kingdom), our reseller and Merchant of Record. Paddle collects your name, email, country and payment details to take payment, invoice you and apply taxes, as a controller under its own privacy policy. Paddle sends us your email, country, the product and the order ID.

To deliver your licence, our licence service (hosted by Vercel) receives this information from Paddle and creates a signed licence. The licence contains the transaction ID, its date and a hash (SHA-256) of your email, nothing else. It is checked on your devices, offline, and shared through your private iCloud. The Mac rereads a public list of refunded licences at most once a week. No usage data is sent. We keep the order ID, the date and the email hash for the life of the licence and our accounting obligations (10 years). Legal basis: performance of the contract.

Mac app updates

The Mac app checks once a day whether an update is available by downloading a feed file hosted on GitHub. This request sends no personal data.

Ideas and problems you send us

Nothing leaves without you. “Report a problem”, in the app, prepares an email in your mail app with the app version, the system version and the device model; you review it and send it yourself. We keep these emails while we handle the request. An idea received by email may be reposted, without your name, on the public ideas page. Ideas posted on GitHub are public and hosted by GitHub under its own terms: never include personal information, tokens or credentials.

This website

This website is hosted by Vercel. It uses no cookies and no audience measurement. The host may keep technical logs (IP address, date, page requested) for security and to run the service.

Your rights and contact

Apart from the emails you write to us, the voice connector if you turn it on and a direct purchase, the publisher collects no data. For the connector, “Turn off and erase” immediately deletes everything the server holds; you can also write to us. Deleting the app and its support folder erases everything locally. Any question: contact@jaugeai.fr. Publisher: Paper34, France (see the legal notice).

Controller: Benjamin Sanchez EI (Paper34), Résidence Les Dunes, 2 chemin des Dunes, 34300 Agde, France, contact@jaugeai.fr. Recipients: our technical providers (Vercel for the website and licence service, Upstash for the voice connector if you turn it on), Paddle for direct purchases, our professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires. Some providers are outside the European Union (United States, United Kingdom); transfers rely on an adequacy decision (United Kingdom, Data Privacy Framework) or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent: write to contact@jaugeai.fr, we reply within one month. You may also complain to the CNIL (cnil.fr) or your local supervisory authority. Data is encrypted in transit, access to services is limited to the publisher, and the licence signing key is kept in the host’s secret variables.
