Privacy policy

This page describes the Navitosh app and the website at navitosh.com.

The app

Navitosh is a file manager that works directly with files and folders you can access on your Mac, external drives and mounted shares. You do not need a Navitosh account.

The app has no advertising, tracking tools or analytics. It does not send your files, filenames or search queries to the developer.

Navitosh stores settings, window and tab state, and file-operation recovery information locally on your Mac. That information can include file paths used to restore sessions or recover interrupted operations.

macOS controls access to protected folders. Full Disk Access is optional, and can only be granted by you in System Settings. Files on mounted network shares are accessed through your Mac’s existing connection to those shares.

Version checks

Optional version checks are planned for Navitosh 1.1.2. When enabled, the app will request the latest release version from navitosh.com/version.json. You will be able to turn version checks off in Settings.

The check is intended only to retrieve release information. It does not require file contents, filenames, search queries or a unique installation identifier. As with an ordinary web request, the hosting provider receives your IP address and standard HTTP request information, such as the requested address and any user-agent information sent by the app. The provider may process this information in server logs to operate and secure the website. The version endpoint has no analytics or tracking code.

This website

This website has no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. It does not set cookies or use browser storage. Fonts, screenshots, scripts, styles, version information and the app download are served from the same website.

When you visit a page or download the app, your browser sends the information required for an ordinary web request, such as your IP address, requested address and browser information. The hosting provider may process that information in server logs to operate and secure the website.

Links to other websites, including the developer’s website, are covered by those websites’ own privacy practices.
