What Watchdogo sends, and where
Your sign-ins stay on your Mac; usage is read from Anthropic and OpenAI.
- The sign-in is kept in your Mac’s Keychain, in Watchdogo’s own item. It never leaves your Mac except to Anthropic.
- To read your usage, Watchdogo calls Anthropic’s usage API with that sign-in. It does not read or send your conversations.
- For Codex, Watchdogo asks Codex on your Mac for the account’s limits; Codex reads them from OpenAI with the ChatGPT app’s sign-in. Watchdogo neither reads nor keeps that sign-in.
- To check for updates, it reads the release file on this site. That request carries nothing about you or your usage.
- There is no account with us, no analytics in the app and no other server.
Signing out deletes the sign-in from the Keychain. The full text is on the privacy page.
