OpenClient is a native client for connecting to a user-selected OpenCode server.
This app is designed for self-hosted use. OpenClient does not provide its own hosted AI service. Instead, it connects to the server you configure.
OpenClient may process the following categories of information in order to work:
- server connection details you enter, such as server URL and username
- your server password
- chat messages, prompts, replies, and session content received from your OpenCode server
- project, session, todo, permission, and question data returned by your OpenCode server
- local app settings such as recent servers and workspace preferences
OpenClient stores some information locally on your device.
- server passwords are stored in the system Keychain
- non-sensitive recent server metadata, such as server URL and username, may be stored in local app storage
- local UI state and preferences may also be stored on device
OpenClient does not intentionally store your server password in plain text in standard app preferences.
OpenClient sends data to the OpenCode server that you configure.
That can include:
- credentials needed to authenticate with your server
- chat prompts and replies
- session, project, todo, permission, and question actions
- related request data needed to operate the app
Because OpenClient connects to servers chosen by the user, network security depends in part on how that server is configured.
https://connections provide transport protection through HTTPS/TLShttp://connections do not use HTTPS/TLS, even if you are connecting through a private or encrypted network such as Tailscale
OpenClient warns before establishing an insecure http:// connection entered manually.
Your OpenCode server is operated separately from OpenClient.
In other words: OpenClient is the remote control, but your OpenCode server is still the thing doing the work.
That means the server side is where things like these are decided:
- server-side logging
- server-side data retention
- access controls
- infrastructure security
- any third-party AI or tool integrations configured on that server
If you connect OpenClient to a server run by someone else, they may be able to see whatever you send through it. Choose your server like you would choose who gets the keys to your workshop.
OpenClient does not currently include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in this codebase.
OpenClient is not designed to track you across apps or websites.
If this changes in a future release, this policy should be updated before release.
This codebase does not currently include a third-party crash reporting service.
The app may show local debug information inside the app for development and troubleshooting. That information remains part of the app experience unless you choose to share it yourself.
If you enable Live Activities, OpenClient may display limited session-related status and action prompts on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.
This content may be visible to anyone who can see your device screen while it is displayed.
Data retained by OpenClient depends on your usage.
- saved connection metadata may remain on device until you remove it
- server passwords stored in Keychain remain until deleted by the app or removed with the app/account data
- chat and session data displayed in the app may also be reloaded from your configured OpenCode server
Data stored or retained by your OpenCode server is controlled by that server, not by OpenClient.
You can:
- choose which server OpenClient connects to
- remove saved recent servers in the app
- choose whether to use insecure
http://connections - uninstall the app to remove app data stored with the installation
OpenClient is intended for general developer and productivity use and is not specifically directed to children.
This privacy policy may be updated over time to reflect product or infrastructure changes.
When material changes are made, the updated version should be published before or with the relevant release.
