Lokstack / Privacy

Privacy, in plain words.

Lokstack is built so your code and data stay on your Mac.

What stays on your Mac

  • The Lokstack server listens on 127.0.0.1 only and cannot be reached from the network.
  • Every change request needs a custom header and a localhost host, which blocks other websites and DNS-rebinding attacks.
  • There is no account, no analytics and no telemetry.
  • Secrets in .env files (passwords, secrets, keys, tokens and URL passwords) are masked.
  • Your settings live in ~/.stackpilot on your Mac.

When Lokstack uses the network

  • When you search for packages (npm, Packagist, PyPI) or install them.
  • When you install with Homebrew or pull Docker images.
  • When you sign in to GitHub from the app (the sign-in happens on github.com in your browser, and the result is kept in your macOS keychain) and when you push or pull.
  • When you activate a Pro key: it is checked with our licence provider, then every 7 days. The free plan and the trial never leave your Mac.

Safe by default

  • Destructive actions confirm first.
  • Deleting a container keeps its volumes. "Forget" never touches project files.
  • Package names and container settings are validated before they reach a package manager or Docker.
