Privacy policy

Who we are

Eyrie is published by Vantar AI (the "we" in this document). Contact: hello@vantar.ai.

What we collect

From the Eyrie app: nothing. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reports, no usage statistics. Eyrie does not phone home. The first time you open it is the only time it talks to our servers — to check for an updated version via Sparkle — and the only data sent is the current app version.

From this website (tryeyrie.com): standard server logs. Your IP address, browser, and the pages you visit are recorded by our hosting provider for security and rate-limiting purposes. We don't run analytics scripts. No cookies are set by Eyrie itself.

If you buy a license: our payment processor (Stripe / AppSumo / Setapp depending on how you bought) collects what they need to process the transaction. We receive your email address and license ID. Standard ecommerce data — read their respective privacy policies for details.

Your notes and your files

Your Markdown files are stored on your Mac as ordinary .md files in folders you choose. Eyrie reads them with permission you grant through macOS's security-scoped bookmarks. We never see them. They are never uploaded.

Eyrie maintains a local search index (SQLite) for fast retrieval. It lives on your machine under ~/Library/Application Support/com.vantar.inkwell/indexes/ and is never transmitted.

AI providers (when you opt in)

Eyrie's built-in chat panel and inline AI commands (⌘E, ⌘⇧E) talk to Anthropic's API only if you paste your own API key. When you do, your key is stored in macOS Keychain — encrypted at rest, scoped to Eyrie. We never see your key.

When you use the built-in agent:

• Your messages and the relevant notes go directly from Eyrie to Anthropic. Not via us.
• Anthropic's privacy and data-retention policies apply to those messages. See anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
• You can revoke at any time — Settings → MCP, or delete the key from Keychain.

If instead you use an external agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf), that agent is the one talking to its provider. Eyrie just exposes your notes through MCP. The agent reads them locally and sends what it needs to its own provider under whatever privacy contract you have with them.

URL clipping

When you paste a URL into the chat panel and ask Eyrie to save or read it, the URL is sent to Jina Reader (jina.ai) which fetches and converts the page to clean Markdown. Jina sees the URL you typed — not your notes. If you'd prefer no third-party fetcher, don't use URL clipping.

Embeddings

Eyrie generates vector embeddings of your notes for semantic search. This is done entirely on your Mac using Apple's NaturalLanguage framework. No network calls, no third parties.

Children

Eyrie isn't directed at children under 13. If you believe a minor has provided personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your rights

Because we don't have an account system and we don't collect data, there isn't much to request. If you bought a license and want your email/license record deleted, email us. We'll do it within 30 days.

EU/UK residents have GDPR rights to access, rectify, and erase any data we hold (which is just license-record metadata from your purchase). California residents have analogous CCPA rights.

Changes to this policy

When this changes, this page changes. Material changes will be noted at the top with the new date. We won't add tracking, analytics, or telemetry — that promise is part of what Eyrie is.
