Privacy Policy
GpuTerm does not collect your data. The app has no accounts, analytics, advertising, tracking or third-party SDKs, and the developer runs no server that the app talks to. What you enter stays on your device, goes to servers you configure yourself, or syncs through your own iCloud account if you turn that on.
Data stored on your device
To work as an SSH client, GpuTerm keeps the following in the app's private storage on your device:
- Server profiles: host names, user names, ports, jump hosts and port forwards
- Fingerprints of the server host keys you trusted
- SSH private keys you import or generate in the app
- Passwords and API keys you choose to save, kept in the iOS Keychain
- Command snippets, LLM endpoint settings, monitoring and alert settings, and display preferences
- A small cache of server status for the Home Screen widget
The developer cannot access any of this data. Deleting the app removes it from the device, except for Keychain items and iCloud data, which iOS manages.
Connections to your servers
GpuTerm connects only to the SSH servers and LLM endpoints (such as Ollama or vLLM) that you add. Terminal input, file transfers and monitoring commands go directly from your device to those servers. Commands you run, and actions such as stopping a process or deleting a file, take effect on your servers with your account's permissions. iOS asks for local network permission so the app can reach servers on your network.
Optional iCloud sync
If you turn on iCloud sync, GpuTerm stores profiles, snippets and trusted host keys in your iCloud key-value storage. Saved passwords that don't require Face ID sync through iCloud Keychain. Private keys, and passwords that require Face ID, never leave the device. This data is held by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy; the developer cannot read it. Turn sync off under Sessions › Security.
Sync files you export
"Export sync file" saves profiles, snippets and trusted host keys as an unencrypted JSON file in a place you choose. It doesn't include passwords or private keys. Who can read the file depends on where you save or share it.
Face ID and app lock
Face ID and passcode checks are performed by iOS. GpuTerm only receives a success or failure result and never has access to biometric data.
Notifications, widgets and Shortcuts
Alert notifications are created on your device; GpuTerm uses no push notification service. Notifications, widgets and Shortcuts can show server names and resource readings on your Lock Screen or Home Screen, subject to your iOS settings.
Crash reports
If you allow "Share with App Developers" in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements, Apple may send the developer anonymous crash and performance reports. GpuTerm adds no crash reporting of its own.
Children
GpuTerm is a tool for managing servers and is not directed at children.
