Your disk is your business.

The app

• —Plumb has no accounts. There is nothing to sign up for or log in to.
• —Plumb has no analytics, telemetry or crash reporting. It doesn’t count your scans or your cleans.
• —Plumb sends nothing off your Mac. Scans, cleaning logs and the secrets check all stay on your computer.
• —The one exception is the speed test in the menu-bar panel, and only when you click Test speed. It runs macOS’s own networkQuality tool, which downloads and uploads test data to Apple’s servers. No information about you or your files is part of it.
• —Every clean writes a plain-text log of each path it touched to ~/Library/Logs/Plumb. Settings, history and the last disk map live in ~/Library/Application Support/Plumb. Both are yours to read or delete.
• —The secrets check is report only. It masks the values it finds, never uploads them, and never deletes or changes the files they’re in.
• —Full Disk Access is optional. If you grant it, Plumb uses it to measure Mail, Messages and Safari data on your Mac. Nothing about those files is sent anywhere.

This website

• —This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts.
• —The fonts are hosted here too, so loading a page doesn’t ping a font service.
• —The download comes from GitHub Releases. GitHub handles that request under its own privacy statement, like any file you download from there.
• —The website host may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and the page requested) for a short time to keep the site running. We don’t use them to track you.

Changes

If any of this ever changes, it will be written here and in the changelog before it ships.
