Privacy and your data
Herdloom runs on your machine and your code stays on your machine. There is no telemetry, no analytics and no account. This page says where things are kept and how to get rid of them.
What is kept, and where
Section titled “What is kept, and where”The board, settings, logs, and attachments live in the app’s folder under
~/Library/Application Support/. The cleanup screen opens that folder in Finder.
It holds the board and its tickets, the plans and reviews and the history of every run, your settings, any files you attached to a ticket, and the app’s logs. The demo project, if you loaded one, is a small repository inside that folder too.
Two things live outside it. Worktrees sit beside each repository, or under the worktree root you chose in Settings → Worktrees. A pre-push guard sits inside each repository you added, which is what stops an agent pushing your base branch.
Knowledgebases stay wherever you pointed them: a folder of Markdown, a vault, or a repository you keep in sync.
Tokens you enter for Jira or GitHub go into the macOS Keychain, not into that folder. Agent CLIs keep their own logins in their own places; Herdloom does not read them.
What is written during a run
Section titled “What is written during a run”Each run writes a timeline of what happened, and the raw stream the agent produced. Both are on disk, and both are redacted before they are stored: token-shaped strings and secret-looking values are replaced on the way in, so a token an agent happens to print never reaches disk in the clear. The same redaction applies to the output of an app you started with Play.
Raw agent output is kept for thirty days and then aged out. The run’s timeline, its result and its verdict stay with the ticket.
Copying secret files into worktrees is optional and off by default for new projects. When enabled, these are real copies on disk that the app and its agent can use. Deleting the checkout removes them.
The report file
Section titled “The report file”Save a report to the Desktop collects the app’s version, the setup report, your settings, a summary of the board and the last eight runs into one zip, redacted the same way. It is written to your Desktop and shown in Finder. Nothing is sent. It reaches someone else only when you attach it yourself.
Deleting things
Section titled “Deleting things”A ticket deleted from the board takes its runs and its history with it. Its branch and any pull request stay where they are. The Done column’s trash button does the same for a whole column.
A project removed from Settings → Projects comes off the board. The repository, its branches and its commits are untouched.
A worktree deleted from Settings → Worktrees removes the folder. Anything committed is safe on the branch.
Everything, in one go: Remove Herdloom deletes the worktrees, takes the push guard back out of each repository, and opens the one folder that is left. Delete that folder and nothing of Herdloom’s remains but the tokens in your Keychain, which you can remove in Keychain Access.
What runs where lists what leaves the Mac and who it goes to. Removing Herdloom is the full uninstall.
