Privacy

TextOS is local-first.

TextOS stores app data in Android app-private storage by default. Data leaves the device only when you intentionally use a network feature, share/export content, or run a command that contacts the network.

Data stored locally

TextOS may store chats, project files, imported files, runtime files, runtime state, logs, diagnostic output, and authentication/session files on your device.

AI processing

When you send a chat message or ask TextOS/Codex to work with project context, your prompt, relevant conversation context, selected files, tool output, terminal output, or logs may be sent to OpenAI/ChatGPT/Codex services through your signed-in account.

TextOS does not automatically upload arbitrary workspaces, runtime rootfs contents, logs, auth files, or imported files just because they exist on the device.

Local network features

WebDesk and SSH/SFTP are local-network or localhost access features. LAN access must be explicitly enabled by the user and may expose files or runtime state to another device on the same trusted network.

Diagnostics

Logs and profiler captures are local diagnostics, not telemetry. They may include file paths, command output snippets, errors, or account display information, so treat exported logs as potentially sensitive.

Delete and reset

You can remove local TextOS data through app flows such as sign out, delete thread/workspace, runtime reset actions, Android clear storage, or uninstall. OpenAI-side account data and retention are governed by your OpenAI/ChatGPT/Codex account settings.
