Privacy

What uses the network

Only these features, and only when you turn them on:

• Weather sends the coordinates you chose to Open-Meteo. A place you type is looked up once through Apple’s geocoder. Berth does not ask for location permission.
• Now Playing downloads Spotify album art from Spotify’s CDN.
• Codex usage runs your own Codex CLI, which talks to OpenAI with the login it already has.
• Check for Updates fetches the update feed.

Read on your Mac

Claude usage reads a local file written by the Claude Code status line. Berth itself makes no network request for it.

Permissions

Berth asks for a permission only when a feature needs it:

• Calendars
• Reminders
• Automation, per app: each Now Playing player; Finder, to empty the Trash; Safari, Finder, Terminal and Ghostty, for New Window
• Notifications

The support page says when each is asked for.

Problem reports

Report a problem opens an email in your mail app, for you to read before you send it. It contains:

• the Berth and macOS versions
• your Mac model and architecture
• the kind of the active profile, and how many profiles you have
• the widgets and notch readouts in use
• the state of each permission
• whether an AI connection exists
• the newest crash report, only if you tick the box

It never contains file names, paths, event titles, profile names or account data.
