Privacy
Short version: the app collects nothing; the website counts visits with privacy-friendly, first-party analytics.
The Lanes app collects nothing
Lanes — the macOS app — makes no network calls, has no telemetry, no updater, and no analytics; it never contacts a server. There is nothing to opt out of. You can verify every line in the open source.
Full disclosure: Tauri's dependency tree includes an HTTP client that Lanes never invokes — it's present in the compiled binary but unused, on no code path the app runs. You can confirm that in the source too.
This website
lanes.synthetixis.com uses PostHog, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to count page visits and download clicks so we can improve the page. It sets one first-party cookie on the synthetixis.com domain to recognise return visits across our own studio site — there are no ad networks, no cross-site tracking, and no session recording. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we don't load analytics at all.
What we don't collect
- No names
- No email addresses
- No accounts or sign-ins
- No session recordings, replays, or heatmaps
- No IP addresses stored beyond the coarse, approximate location PostHog derives from them
We only ever see aggregate counts — page views, and clicks on the download and GitHub links.
