Privacy, without the mystery.

Kitsail is a native macOS application for discovering GitHub repositories, agent skills, and open-source apps. This page describes the current early-access build. It should be reviewed and finalized before public distribution.

What Kitsail collects

Kitsail does not include its own analytics, advertising tracker, or community-service account system. It requests public project information from GitHub. When you choose to sign in, GitHub handles authentication and the app receives an access token, which is stored in macOS Keychain rather than website storage.

What stays on your Mac

Your bookmarks and preferences remain in macOS user defaults. Managed skill installation records are saved under ~/Library/Application Support/Kitsail, and installed files go into the selected agent skill directories. Downloaded app packages are placed in ~/Downloads/Kitsail. Uninstalling the app does not automatically remove those files.

External services

GitHub may process search requests and account-related activity under GitHub's privacy statement. The future hosting provider may receive ordinary website server logs. No external download analytics or visitor tracking scripts are included in this landing page.

Security

Skills can contain instructions and scripts that agents may execute later. Review repositories before installation and avoid installing code from publishers you do not trust. Downloaded app packages are subject to macOS security protections.

Questions

A public support contact and finalized developer privacy notice will be added before launch. Until then, treat this as an early-access development preview.
