Privacy policy

andeye Ltd (SC665704, Scotland) makes andeye, an automatic time tracker for the Mac. This policy covers the andeye app and the andeye.com website. Last updated 2 July 2026.

The short version

andeye is local-first. What you do on your Mac stays on your Mac. We run no servers that receive your activity, your time entries, or your accounting data, and we never use your data to train AI models.

The app

To attribute your time, andeye observes activity on your Mac: the frontmost app, window titles, and browser tab addresses. This information is processed and stored only on your Mac, in a local database under your user account. It is never transmitted to andeye Ltd or anyone else.

If you connect andeye to a service you use, such as OpenProject or Xero, data flows directly between your Mac and that service over an encrypted connection. We are not in the middle: your credentials and the data exchanged never pass through andeye Ltd.

Xero connections

If you connect andeye to Xero, andeye reads your Xero projects and tasks and writes the time entries you approve. Sign-in uses OAuth; andeye never sees your Xero password, and access tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain on your Mac. Xero data is cached locally on your Mac only, is never transmitted to andeye Ltd, and is never used to train, fine-tune, adapt or enhance any AI or machine-learning model. You can disconnect andeye at any time from within the app or from your Xero account’s connected apps page, which revokes its access.

The website

andeye.com sets no analytics or advertising cookies. If you buy a licence, payment is handled by our merchant of record, who acts as the seller and processes your payment and billing details under their own privacy policy; we receive what we need to issue your licence (your email address and licence details) and nothing more.

Telemetry

The app contains no analytics or tracking. If it crashes, nothing is sent unless you choose to send us a report yourself.

What we hold about you

Unless you email us or buy a licence, normally nothing. If you do, we hold your correspondence and licence record for as long as needed to support you and to meet legal obligations (such as tax records).

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us what we hold about you, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted: email time@andeye.com. If you’re unhappy with our answer you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will be called out in the app’s release notes.
