Privacy

The exact data boundary.

LLM Left is designed to move a small usage snapshot between your Apple devices without moving the secrets or content behind it.

Your private iCloud account

The synced snapshot uses your private CloudKit database. LLM Left does not run an account service, and it does not send the snapshot to an LLM Left server.

Which Mac publishes

Only a Mac with publishing turned on in Settings > iCloud Sync writes the snapshot. A second Mac can turn publishing off and keep reading usage for its own menu bar without touching the shared record.

Multiple accounts

Each managed account keeps its native login files and identity hash on the Mac. Its name, quota windows, check times, and status can appear in the snapshot, so use account names you are comfortable syncing. Removing an account from monitoring does not remove its login files. Optional window-start requests send a small fixed prompt to the provider and use quota; they are off by default and never spend a reset credit.

No product analytics

The app does not send usage analytics. This website has no analytics script, advertising pixel, session recorder, or third-party font request.

Software updates

The Mac app uses Sparkle to check the LLM Left update service. As with a normal web request, the update host can receive an IP address and user agent. It does not receive your provider usage, prompts, or CloudKit data.

Local permissions

The Mac app runs a signed local helper on 127.0.0.1 to read supported provider usage. It does not require a VPN, a Tailscale network, device pairing, or an LLM Left account.
