The short version

TuneStatus runs on your Mac and stores nothing anywhere else. We have no database, no user accounts, and no analytics. We couldn't sell your data if we wanted to — we don't have it.

What the app can see

The TuneStatus app reads two things: the song currently playing in the Spotify app on your Mac (via macOS's built-in automation — no Spotify account access of any kind), and your own Slack status and custom emoji list. It can write one thing: your own Slack status. It cannot read messages, files, channels, or anything about anyone else.

Where your data lives

Your Slack sign-in token and settings are saved in one file on your Mac (~/.tunestatus-mac.json), readable only by your user account. The app talks directly to slack.com and nowhere else. Deleting that file (or clicking “Disconnect Slack” in the app) removes everything.

The sign-in moment

When you click “Sign in with Slack”, Slack hands your sign-in token to this website for one instant, which passes it straight to the app on your machine. We do not store it or keep any record of who signs in. (Like any website, our hosting provider keeps standard, short-lived infrastructure logs of requests — but your token never appears in them.) That pass-through exists only because Slack requires a server-side secret to complete sign-in.

This website

tunestatus.com is a download page. No cookies, no analytics. Your theme choice (dark/light) is saved in your own browser and never sent anywhere. One caveat for completeness: the page's fonts load from Google Fonts, so Google receives the standard web request (including your IP address) when the page loads — that's the only third party involved.

Your data, your hands

Since we hold no data about you, there's nothing for us to export or delete — it's all on your own machine already. If this policy ever changes, the date above will change with it.
