GHBar collects no data

No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no accounts of our own. GHBar has no server: the app talks directly to GitHub's API and to nothing else.

What stays on your Mac

Your GitHub token (in the macOS Keychain), the record of which items you've seen, your settings, and a cached copy of your GitHub avatar. None of it ever leaves your machine.

What GHBar sends to GitHub

The search queries needed to list the pull requests and issues on your repositories, authenticated with your token. That traffic is between your Mac and api.github.com — it is covered by GitHub's privacy statement, not ours.

Questions

The entire app is open source — read the code or open an issue.
