Local-first apps, with website analytics.

AI Switcher has no backend account system and no product telemetry in the CLI or desktop app. This page explains what the website collects through Google Analytics and what the apps keep local.

Last updated July 18, 2026.

What this policy covers

This policy covers three things: the aiswitcher.dev website you're reading now, the open-source aisw CLI, and AI Switcher Desktop. All three are built to avoid collecting application data from your coding workflows, but the website may use Google Analytics to understand traffic and behavior at the page level.

The website

This site is a static build with no server-side application or user login. It loads Google Analytics 4 from Google to measure visits and on-site behavior such as page views, referral sources, and broad engagement patterns. That means Google may receive standard analytics data associated with your visit, such as page URL, referrer, browser and device information, and IP-derived location signals under Google's own processing model.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which as part of normal infrastructure operation may also log standard web server access data such as IP address and user agent at the network edge. That infrastructure logging happens outside this project's control and is governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

The aisw CLI and AI Switcher Desktop

Neither application phones home. There is no AI Switcher account, no update-check ping, no crash reporter, and no usage analytics. Profile and context data is stored locally under ~/.aisw/, and credentials are written to the same OS keyrings or local files the underlying coding agents already use. For the full technical detail on credential handling, keyrings, and transactional switching, see the security page.

Google Analytics

When enabled, Google Analytics helps the site owner understand how visitors arrive at the site, which pages they read, and where they drop off. It is used for website performance and content decisions, not for accessing your AI Switcher profiles, prompts, repositories, or credentials. Those application-level data sources are not exposed to Google Analytics by the website integration.

Google Analytics is a third-party service operated by Google and governed by Google's privacy policy. If you block analytics scripts in your browser, the Google Analytics integration may not run in your session.

Third-party services

Installing or using AI Switcher may involve services this project doesn't control, each governed by its own privacy policy: GitHub (source code, releases, and the shell installer script), Homebrew (package installation), crates.io (the Rust package registry), and Google Analytics when enabled on the website. Signing in to a coding agent through AI Switcher uses that provider's own OAuth flow directly; AI Switcher does not sit in the middle of that exchange.

Children's privacy

AI Switcher is a developer tool and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information from anyone at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the update will appear on this page with a revised date above. Since the project collects no contact information, there is no mailing list to notify directly.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be raised as an issue on the aisw GitHub repository. For a security vulnerability specifically, see the reporting process on the security page instead of opening a public issue.
