Privacy Policy

This policy covers both VibeTV apps: VibeTV for iPhone and Apple TV, and VibeTV Manager for Mac. The short version: neither collects any data. There's no account with us and no server of ours.

tl;dr

• We don't collect any data, and there's nothing to sign up for.
• No analytics, no tracking, no ads.
• VibeTV talks to your own media server. VibeTV Manager runs that server on your Mac.
• Sign-ins, tokens and passwords are kept in the Keychain of the device that uses them, never in a file.

VibeTV for iPhone and Apple TV

VibeTV is a Jellyfin player. It connects to the server you sign in to, such as one run by VibeTV Manager, and to nothing run by us.

• Your server, to sign in, browse, play and report what you've watched so Continue Watching works. That data lives on your server, under its owner's control.
• Your iPhone and Apple TV, on your local network, when you set up an Apple TV from your iPhone. The iPhone sends the TV your server's address, and the TV signs in with a code you approve.
• Cast devices, if you cast from your iPhone. Casting uses Google's Cast SDK, which may share technical information with Google as described in Google's privacy policy.

Permissions VibeTV uses

• Local network, to reach a server on your Wi-Fi, to find Cast devices, and to set up an Apple TV from your iPhone.
• Not your location. The iPhone app's permission settings, which come from Swiftfin, can ask for location access, but nothing in VibeTV reads where you are, and nothing about it is stored or sent.
• Face ID (iPhone, optional), if you lock a profile on the device. Face ID happens on the device; the app only learns whether it worked.

Downloads, settings and the app's logs stay on your device. Feedback from the About screen is an email you write and send yourself. It starts with only the app version and your device's model and system version.

VibeTV Manager for Mac

VibeTV Manager runs on your Mac. It talks to these, and only for what you've turned on. None of them are run by us.

• GitHub, to check for and download app updates and server updates. Updates are signed, and the app checks the signature before installing.
• Real-Debrid and TMDB, using your own keys, to check your account and to find and play what you pick.
• The addon sites you turn on, such as catalog and subtitle sources, so they can answer your searches.
• Tailscale, if you turn on remote access, to connect your own devices to your Mac. See Tailscale's privacy policy.

Settings, profiles and watch history live in a folder on your Mac that only your user account can read. Backups stay on your Mac too. Diagnostics are only created when you choose Export Diagnostics, and secrets are removed from them first; you decide who gets the file. Every connection the app makes is listed on the security page.
