Privacy

Last updated October 31, 2026. Covers SplitView 0.2.0 and this website.

SplitView has no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry. The app doesn't send your data to us, and we don't run a server that could receive it.

The app

SplitView doesn't record what you type or what your terminals print. Scrollback is held in memory and goes away when you close the pane. The app doesn't check for updates or contact any service of ours.

These are stored on your computer only:

• Settings, including colors, aliases, banner text and panel widths, in the app's local webview storage.
• Files you open in the editor, which are read from and saved to your own disk.

Programs you run inside SplitView, such as git or npm, make their own network connections. Those are outside SplitView's control.

Remote control

Remote control is off by default and nothing listens on your network unless you turn it on in Settings. The phone app isn't available yet. When you enable the feature on the desktop:

• SplitView creates a self-signed certificate and private key.
• Your computer's name and the server's port are announced on your local network over mDNS, so a phone can find it.
• In the Remote folder of your user config directory (%APPDATA%\splitview\remote on Windows), SplitView keeps the certificate and key, a list of paired devices with hashed access tokens, and an audit log. The log records events such as enabling the server, pairing attempts and connections, along with details like device names, addresses and pairing codes.
• A paired device can see your pane titles, working directories and terminal output, and can type into your panes. That traffic is encrypted and goes directly between the device and your computer, not through us.

You can revoke a device in Settings, which also ends its live session. Delete the Remote folder to remove the stored data.

Third-party components

On Windows, SplitView uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. If it's missing, the installer may download it from Microsoft. Microsoft's terms and privacy statement apply to that component.
