Privacy

Short, because there's little to say

innards is built so that there is nothing to collect. This page covers the app and this website.

The app

  • No network access. The engine (innards-core) contains no networking code. It reads hardware and OS information from your own machine and writes the report to your screen or to a Markdown file you choose.
  • What it reads: CPU, memory, storage and filesystem usage, GPU, battery, temperatures and fan speeds, network interface types, load averages, the names and memory use of your largest processes, and — only if you enable it — drive health (SMART) data.
  • Elevated rights are requested only for SMART data, through your operating system's own prompt. Declining disables that one probe and nothing else.
  • No accounts, no telemetry, no crash reporting. If a probe fails, that becomes a line in your report, not a message to us.
  • Shopping links in recommendations are plain search URLs to third-party retailers, built locally. Nothing is sent until you choose to open one, and what that retailer does then is governed by its own policy.

This website

  • No cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts or fonts. Everything is served from this domain.
  • The site is static and hosted on Cloudflare, which keeps standard, short-lived request logs (IP address, user agent, page requested) to operate and protect the service.
  • The download page asks the GitHub API for the latest release so it can show current files; that request goes to GitHub and is subject to GitHub's privacy statement.
