Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026.

Dices is a local-first desktop app. It's built around a simple idea: your code, your conversations and your secrets are yours, and they should stay on your machine. This policy explains what stays put, the few things that leave (and exactly where they go), and how to reach us.

What stays on your device

Almost everything. Dices runs locally on your computer and keeps your data there:

• Your code and project files never leave your machine through Dices.
• Your chats, sessions and settings are stored in a local SQLite database on your device.
• Your secrets — API keys, SSH credentials and similar — are stored encrypted in your operating system's keychain (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, the Secret Service on Linux).

Dices does not run its own servers that receive your code or your prompts. In the current version there is no Dices backend collecting your activity.

What leaves your device (and to whom)

The one thing that leaves your machine is the AI work you ask for — and it goes directly from your computer to the AI provider you've chosen, using your own credentials:

• Your Anthropic API key for Claude, or
• Your own installed official CLI for tools like Codex, Gemini, Cursor and others.

When you run an agent, the relevant prompt and code context are sent to that provider so it can do the work. Those requests travel from your machine to that provider and are governed by that provider's own privacy policy and terms — not by Dices. We don't sit in the middle, and we don't receive a copy.

Voice & code indexing are local

Two features that might sound like they'd phone home don't:

• Voice transcription runs on-device by default using a local Whisper model. Your audio is transcribed on your own machine.
• The codebase search index is built and stored locally. Indexing your project doesn't upload it anywhere.

Remote / phone access

Dices has an optional feature that lets you pick a session up from your phone. It's off unless you turn it on, and even then it's designed to stay private:

• It serves a local server bound to your Tailscale network (encrypted) or to loopback by default.
• Access is token-gated.

There's no public Dices cloud relaying this traffic — your phone talks to your own machine over your own private network.

The website

The marketing website at dices.dev is a static site. It collects no analytics and sets no tracking cookies. Visiting it doesn't build a profile of you.

Children

Dices is a developer tool intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where that is the applicable age), and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If Dices changes in a way that affects this policy — for example, if a future version introduces an optional hosted service — we'll update this page and revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be made clear.
