Privacy

Haven runs on your machines. Terminal output, scrollback, files, and SSH credentials stay on your systems. The only time anything leaves is when you invoke an optional AI feature.

Where things live

App state — saved hosts, preferences, layout — sits at ~/.haven/app-state.json on your Mac.
SSH passwords are stored in the macOS Keychain, never in plaintext on disk.
Scrollback is encrypted at rest at ~/.haven/sessions/<id>/transcript.bin, both locally and on remote hosts.
The remote daemon is open source: github.com/christiansafka/haven-daemon.

Analytics

We use PostHog to capture feature usage and errors so we can fix bugs and decide what to build next. Action names only — never hostnames, paths, commands, or anything you typed. No session replays.

AI features

Optional features (Cmd+K command generation, suggested responses for agents) send a small amount of data to a Haven-operated backend, which forwards to a third-party model.

Haven does not store logs of these requests, and any third-party model we use will not train on the data.
