taki is local-first. What it learns about your work stays on your Mac.

what taki reads, on your Mac

• Git repositories in the folders you choose: branch, uncommitted files, and your own commits.
• Which app is in front, how long since your last keypress or click, and which coding agents are running (claude, codex, opencode, cursor-agent) and in which folder.
• The title Claude Code gives each session (like "Fix login redirect"), and nothing else from it: never your prompts, its replies or your code.
• The title of the window in front (an editor's file, a browser tab, a terminal's folder), only if you turn it on in config and allow Accessibility. Never what's inside the window, never keystrokes. Titles stay in memory and are never written to disk.
• Notes you leave yourself: what you're working on, and things parked for later.
• Your zsh history, only if you turn it on in config. It keeps just the tool and subcommand (pnpm test), never arguments.
• Events your own scripts send with taki-event.

what taki keeps

Everything lives in ~/Library/Application Support/taki: your settings, one activity line per minute, what taki thinks you're working on (and before that), your journal (one Markdown file per day), and your license key. Delete the folder and it's gone.

what leaves your Mac

Your license key. taki checks it with Polar (api.polar.sh) when you activate it and about once a day after that. It sends the key and your Mac's name, so you can tell your activations apart.

The weather, only if you turn it on in config (it's off by default). About once an hour taki asks MET Norway (api.met.no) for the forecast at your time zone's main city, rounded to about 10 km: Buenos Aires for anyone set to Buenos Aires time. No location permission, no GPS, nothing else. Like any request, it reaches them from your IP address. Weather data by MET Norway, CC BY 4.0.

Nothing about your work is sent. No analytics, no tracking, no account.

buying taki
