Enclose Privacy Policy

Last updated 10 October 2026

Enclose is an open-source project maintained by Glauber. This page says what the Enclose app and this website send anywhere, and what they do not. In short: the app needs no account, your projects stay on your Mac, and the installed app counts how it is used, without your name, unless you switch that off. This website counts its visits, without cookies and without knowing whose they are.

Usage data from the app

The installed app counts how it is used, so that what is worked on next is what people use, and sends that count to PostHog. Run from a checkout of the source, it sends nothing.

What is counted, each as an event with a few words and numbers:

  • that the app was opened;
  • that a project was added or removed, and whether it was new, an example, CAD files or a folder;
  • that a message was sent: the agent, its model, the effort and the permissions, and how many parts and pictures went with it;
  • that a model was looked over, a change turned back, or a model saved;
  • which features the view was put into (a section, the exploded view, the blueprint, a reference scene, a project’s own tools), once for a run of the app;
  • that an agent was switched on or off, and that an update was fetched.

With every event go the app’s version, your macOS version, the kind of processor, and a random name made up for your installation the first time the app runs. That name is tied to no account and to nothing else about you. PostHog keeps what it is sent in the United States. As any server does, it sees the address a request comes from, and works out roughly where that is: a country and a city.

Nothing of a project is sent: not its name, its files, or where it is kept. Nothing said in a message or in an answer to one. Nothing of what a part, a group or a conversation is called. The full list is with the app’s documentation.

To switch it off: Settings, General, Usage data. Switched off, nothing more is counted, and what was waiting to be sent is not sent. The name made up for your installation is in analytics-id, in ~/Library/Application Support/Enclose. Delete it and the app makes up another the next time it has something to send.

What goes to an agent’s provider

The app works through a coding agent you installed and signed in to yourself: Claude Code, Codex or Grok. What you write, the pictures you attach and the project files the agent reads go to that agent’s provider, as they would if you ran the agent in a terminal. That is between you and the provider, under its privacy policy and your subscription. None of it goes to the Enclose project.

What the app fetches from GitHub

The app looks for its newer versions on GitHub and downloads them from there, and downloads an example project from there when you ask for one. GitHub sees those requests and the address they come from, under its own privacy statement.

What stays on your Mac

Your projects, your conversations about them and your settings are kept on your Mac and nowhere else. Removing a project from the app forgets what was said about it, and leaves its folder.

This website

This site sets no cookies and shows no advertising. Its fonts and its pictures are served from the site itself. The host that serves it keeps the ordinary logs a web server keeps: the address a request came from, the browser, the page asked for, and when.

It counts its visits with Simple Analytics, which is made to count without knowing who is visiting. It sets no cookie, puts nothing on your device, and keeps no IP address, so there is nothing to tell one visitor from another by.

What it keeps of a visit:

  • the page looked at, and the page that linked to it;
  • the kind of browser, system and device, and the size of the screen and window;
  • the browser’s language, and a country worked out from its time zone;
  • how long the page was open, and how far down it was scrolled.

Simple Analytics keeps that on servers in the Netherlands, and says more of it itself. A visit is counted whether or not your browser asks not to be tracked, because nothing that is kept says who you are. A content blocker stops it.

To point its download button at the newest release, the page asks GitHub which one that is, from your browser, and the download itself comes from GitHub. GitHub sees those requests as it sees the app’s.

What is not done

Nothing is sold, nothing is shared for advertising, and nothing you make or say is used to train a model by this project. What an agent’s provider does with what you send it is in that provider’s own policy.

Your choices

The project cannot tell which events came from you: it has no name or account to find them by. You can stop them at any time with the switch above, and deleting analytics-id cuts what is sent afterwards off from what was sent before. Depending on where you live you may have rights over personal data held about you, to see it, correct it or have it deleted. Ask through the contact below.

Children

Neither the site nor the app is meant for children under 13, and nothing is knowingly collected from them.

Changes

This page may be changed as the app does. The newest is always here, with the date it was last changed at the top.

Contact

Questions go to the project’s issues on GitHub. If yours should not be written in public, say only that there and the maintainer will find another way to hear it.
