Privacy

Updated 17 October 2026 · Cocoon is in beta

Short version: Cocoon runs on your Mac. We don't run servers that receive your ideas, your apps or your keys, and we don't track how you use Cocoon. Your data goes only to the services you choose to connect.

What stays on your Mac

• Your projects, their code, chats and settings, in your user folder.
• Your keys and sign-ins (AI providers, GitHub, publishing accounts), in your Mac's Keychain.
• Crash and diagnostic notes, which are saved locally and never uploaded.

What goes to services you connect

Cocoon talks to these only after you connect them, using your own account. Their privacy policies apply to what they receive.

• The AI you choose (OpenRouter, Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI) receives your requests and the parts of your project it needs to build your app.
• GitHub receives your app's code when you keep a copy there. Passwords and keys (.env files, signing keys) are never uploaded.
• Where you publish (Vercel, Fly.io, Neon, Cloudflare, Apple's App Store Connect, Google Play) receives your app and the details needed to publish it.

What we see

• No analytics, no tracking, no account with us.
• To check for updates, Cocoon asks GitHub for the newest version twice a day. GitHub sees that request like any website visit. You can turn this off in Settings › General › Updates.
• If you send feedback, it is posted on GitHub Issues, which is public. Don't include anything private.

This website

Hosted by GitHub Pages. It sets no cookies and uses no analytics. It loads its animation and icon libraries from public CDNs (cdnjs and unpkg), and asks GitHub which version is newest. Downloads come from GitHub.

Removing your data

Delete Cocoon from Applications, then the Cocoon folder in your Library's Application Support (in Finder: Go › Go to Folder…, then type ~/Library/Application Support/Cocoon). Data held by services you connected stays in those accounts until you delete it there.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be on this page with a new date.
