Applies to the SUPER DESKTOP app for iPhone and iPad (com.superdesktop.ios), with its Home Screen widgets and share extension. Last updated 3 October 2026.
In short: SUPER DESKTOP has no accounts, no servers of ours, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The developer does not receive, collect or store any of your data.
Your iPhone or iPad and your computers talk directly to each other, over your own network or Tailscale, and everything you type or see stays between them.
SUPER DESKTOP is made by Dmytro Gladkyi, an independent developer (“we”, “us”). The app works with SUPER DESKTOP for Linux, which runs on your own computers and is open source at github.com/gladimdim/super-desktop.
| Information | Where it lives | Sent to us? |
|---|---|---|
| Pairing details for each of your computers: its name and address, a pairing token, and the pinned certificate that identifies it | In the iOS Keychain, for that device only: not synced to iCloud Keychain and never moved to another device. | No |
| Terminal output, the prompts you type, drafts, images and files you attach, file names and folder paths | Sent only to the computer you chose, over a certificate-pinned encrypted (HTTPS/WSS) connection. Unsent drafts are kept on your device in a protected file excluded from backup, and terminal output only in memory while the app runs. Items you share to SUPER DESKTOP from another app wait in the app's own storage until you pick a session or cancel. | No |
| App settings: theme, card colours, widget and usage-card choices, notification choices | On your device only. They can be part of your own iCloud or computer backup, which we never receive. Home Screen widgets read a summary of your sessions that the app keeps on the device. | No |
| Free-trial day count and cached Pro status | In the device's Keychain. The App Store keeps your free-trial item and your purchase with your Apple Account. Neither is sent to us. | No |
Terminal output and prompts can contain whatever your AI coding tools show or you type, including source code. That content travels only between your own devices. What the AI tools running on your computers then send to their own providers is governed by those tools and providers, not by SUPER DESKTOP.
The app offers a one-time optional purchase, SUPER DESKTOP Pro, and a free 10-day trial, both as App Store in-app purchases handled entirely by Apple. Apple processes your payment and tells the app whether you own them. We never see your payment details, name or Apple Account, and the app has no SUPER DESKTOP account. Apple's handling of that information is described in Apple's privacy policy.
The app does not read your contacts, messages, microphone, location or health data.
App Store Connect may show us aggregate technical statistics about the app, such as installs and crash rates. They come from Apple, only if you agreed to share analytics with app developers in your device settings. We do not receive them per person.
SUPER DESKTOP is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone.
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date. A change that affects what the app collects would also be described in the app's release notes.
