Nexoniq is built so that what's on your network stays on your network. This policy describes exactly what happens on your Mac, what leaves it, and what we do not collect.
What stays on your Mac
All your monitoring data lives locally on your Mac, in ~/Library/Application Support/Nexoniq. Nothing is transmitted to a Nexoniq server at any point during normal use, because there is no Nexoniq server.
- Discovered devices — IP addresses, MAC addresses, hostnames, OUI vendor lookups
- Configured services — the URLs and host:port endpoints you choose to monitor
- Presence history — which devices and services responded, and when
- Alerts — your per-device alert configuration and trigger history
- Preferences — sweep interval, notification hours, category order, display name overrides, notes
OUI vendor lookups are performed against a local database file shipped inside the app. No vendor query is sent over the network.
What we don't collect
Nexoniq contains no analytics, trackers, third-party SDKs, advertising identifiers, or crash-reporting services.
We do not know how many devices you monitor, which alerts fire, how long you keep the app open, or whether you opened it today. There are no accounts, so there is nothing to associate with you in the first place.
This is verifiable. Nexoniq's App Privacy label on the Mac App Store shows "Data Not Collected" across every category. Apple enforces this label; if Nexoniq contained a tracker, it would show up there.
What leaves your Mac
For Nexoniq to work, your Mac must send packets on the local network and HTTP requests to configured service endpoints. Specifically:
- ICMP and TCP probes on the IP ranges you've configured. These stay on your local network.
- HTTP/HTTPS requests to monitored service URLs. The service host sees your IP address and a standard request, just like a browser. Nexoniq is not a middleman.
- TCP connect attempts to monitored host:port endpoints. The destination receives a connection attempt, no more.
- mDNS queries, if discovery is enabled, broadcast on the local link only.
Service-only mode restricts this further, to only the endpoints you've listed.
When you send feedback
Nexoniq does not contain a feedback form. If you'd like to send a comment, bug report, or feature request, send a regular email to hello@nexoniq.app using whichever email program you prefer.
The address is the only way to reach the author. Your email lands in a personal inbox and is usually answered within a few days.
If you'd like to include diagnostics, you may attach the debug log from ~/Library/Application Support/Nexoniq/nexoniq-debug.txt (structural events only; it contains no monitored hostnames or IPs). Attaching anything is entirely your choice; Nexoniq does not collect or upload diagnostics on its own.
Children's privacy
Nexoniq does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children. The app has a 4+ age rating on the Mac App Store, has no accounts or social features, and contains nothing directed at children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted here with a new "last updated" date. Because Nexoniq does not have your email address or any way to contact you, we cannot notify you directly. You're welcome to bookmark this page and check back now and then.
