Privacy Policy
sign in to, no server of ours behind it, and no analytics or telemetry of any kind. We — the developers — never receive your data. There is nothing for us to receive: nothing in this program reports to us.

What stays on your machine
Section titled “What stays on your machine”Everything the program keeps is an ordinary file on your own disk, next to the
program (the portable download) or under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHIKISHA-TERM (the Microsoft Store copy):
- your settings, desks and automation scripts,
- what the terminals showed, and the records of automated runs you saved,
- logs of what the program itself did.
You can read, back up or delete any of it with Explorer. Uninstalling the Store copy removes the program; the folder above is yours to delete when you want to.
Outside that folder, the program writes only into the settings of the AI
command-line tools you use, and only once you have agreed to it: one entry in
each tool’s own settings file, so that the tool tells this program when it
starts, waits for you and finishes (for Codex, also Codex’s own record that the
entry is approved), and the skill that lets one AI hand work to another tab.
Before writing either, the program shows exactly what it would write and where,
and asks: about the entries when it starts, about the skill when you first name
another tab with @. The settings already in those files are kept as they are (the
file is written out again in a tidy layout), the previous file is kept beside it
as .bak – nothing is changed if it cannot be – and each can be taken out again
in Settings.
API keys and webhook URLs you enter are stored encrypted (AES-GCM, with a key derived by Argon2) in that same folder, and are only ever sent to the service each one belongs to.
When this program uses the network
Section titled “When this program uses the network”Only where you set it up yourself. Nothing below happens until you configure it, and each one goes straight to the party you chose — never through us.
| What you set up | Where it connects |
|---|---|
| The AI command-line tools you run in a tab (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Aider, …) | Those programs are separate products with their own accounts and their own privacy policies. SHIKISHA-TERM starts them and reads their screen; it does not see or store their credentials. |
| The tools’ AI text reading and AI naming, only once you agreed to them | The part of the screen you framed, as a picture, handed to the AI command-line tool chosen under Settings › AI agents › Assistant AI (Claude Code, Codex or Gemini), which sends it to its own provider. The agreement is saved in the settings against that AI, under Settings › AI agents › AI providers, and is asked for again when the assistant AI is one you have not agreed to. The picture is deleted from the local temporary folder once it has been read. |
| An assistant model (the AI that writes automation for you) | The provider you picked, with the API key you entered — for example Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or a model running locally on your own machine. |
| The phone remote | Your own phone, over your own network. It is a small web server on your machine that you reach directly. Over Tailscale it is your own private network, end-to-end encrypted; no traffic passes through us. |
| Notifications | The Slack, Discord or Telegram webhook you supplied. |
| The GitHub pull-request panel | api.github.com, with the token of the git account you chose for that project – or, when you chose none, the GitHub credential git on this PC already stores. |
Automation you wrote that calls http.* |
Wherever your own script points it. |
| The update check | api.github.com, once at start-up and once a day while the program runs, to read the latest published version number. It sends nothing but a request for that public page. The Microsoft Store copy asks the Store instead. It can be turned off in Settings › Update. |
| Installing an update, when you press for it | github.com (portable download), to fetch the published zip, its SHA256 and its signature. The Store copy lets the Store install it. Nothing is fetched until you press the button. |
What we collect
Section titled “What we collect”Nothing. No usage statistics, no crash reports, no identifiers, no email address. The program never contacts a server operated by us, because there is none. The one count we keep is of visits to the website, described next – and that counts pages, not people.
The website
Section titled “The website”The pages at https://shikisha-term.com count their visitors with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser, so there is no consent banner to click through, and nothing follows you on to another site. What Cloudflare receives is the page you opened, the page that linked to it, the kind of browser, and the country it was opened from; what we see is the totals. Cloudflare’s own privacy policy is at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/. The program itself never opens that site on its own (see the table above).
Children
Section titled “Children”SHIKISHA-TERM is a software-development tool. It is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children.
Changes
Section titled “Changes”If this policy ever changes, the new version is published at https://shikisha-term.com/privacy/, and the date above changes with it.
Contact
Section titled “Contact”Questions about this policy: open an issue at https://github.com/styleio/ShikishaTerm/issues. The Microsoft Store listing also carries a support contact for the copy installed from there.
