SiteWrench Privacy Policy

Effective: October 31, 2026

SiteWrench is a web browser with developer tools, made by Nerd Alchemy. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. We don't collect your personal information, and we don't sell or share it.

What stays on your phone

• Your sites, history and settings. Your Sites list, browsing history, open tabs, saved requests and your preferences are saved inside the app on your phone. Private browsing tabs aren't saved and aren't added to history.
• What the tools show you. Console messages, network requests, page source, cookies and storage are read from the page you're viewing and shown to you. They're kept in memory while the app is open and aren't sent anywhere.
• SSH. The app creates its own SSH key, which is stored in your phone's Keychain and never leaves the phone. Your server list and each server's host key fingerprint are saved on the phone. Passwords you type for a server are used for that connection only and aren't saved.

What goes to other services

• Websites and servers you use. Pages you open, requests you send, and checks you run (status, certificate, redirects, ping, port check, SSH) go directly from your phone to the site or server you chose. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
• Search. When you type something that isn't a web address into the address bar, it's sent to Google as a search.
• DNS lookups. The DNS tool sends the name you look up to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8), whichever you choose, or uses your phone's own DNS if you pick "This phone". The Site Report uses Cloudflare.
• Site Report. When you run a Site Report, the site's domain name is looked up in the public domain registries (RDAP, starting at IANA), its IP address in the public internet number registries (starting at ARIN), and the PHP release list is read from endoflife.date. The report also checks the links on the page by requesting each one. Nothing about you is sent with these lookups.

Permissions

SiteWrench asks for local network access so it can open sites and servers on your own network. You can change this in iPhone Settings › SiteWrench.

Children

SiteWrench is a general-purpose web browser and isn't directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
