Husk — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 June 2026

Husk is an SSH and tmux terminal client for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what data the app handles. The short version: Husk does not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your data. The developer operates no servers and receives nothing from the app.

What Husk stores, and where

• Connection settings (nicknames, hostnames, ports, usernames, startup commands, terminal preferences, themes, control-bar layout) are stored locally on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, these settings may sync across your own devices through Apple's iCloud, which only you can access.
• Credentials (SSH passwords, private keys, and key passphrases) are stored in the iOS Keychain. If iCloud Keychain is enabled on your device, they sync end-to-end encrypted across your own Apple devices. Access can be gated behind Face ID / Touch ID. The developer never sees these values.
• Host keys for servers you connect to are remembered locally so Husk can warn you if a server's identity changes.

What Husk sends, and to whom

Husk connects only to the servers you configure, using the SSH protocol, over connections that go directly from your device to those servers. Your keystrokes, terminal output, and transferred files travel only between your device and your own servers. Husk has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs that collect data.

Live Activities

If you enable the Lock Screen indicator for a connection, the server's nickname or hostname is shown in a Live Activity on your own device's Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while the session is connected. This information stays on your device.

Data retention and deletion

All data lives on your device (and your iCloud, if enabled). Deleting a connection, credential, or the app removes the corresponding data. There is no server-side copy to request or delete because the developer holds no data.

Children

Husk is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "last updated" date.
