Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Flow is a Git client for the Mac made by Pixegen (“we”, “us”). The short version: Flow has no account with us and no analytics, and your code never reaches us. The rest of this page says exactly what goes where.

Your code

Flow works on your repositories on your Mac. We have no server that receives your code, your commit messages, your file names or what you do in Flow.

What Flow sends over the network

• Your Git remotes. When you clone, fetch, pull or push, Git talks to the remotes you chose, such as GitHub, Bitbucket or your own server, the same as it does from Terminal.
• GitHub and Bitbucket. If you connect an account, Flow asks that service for your pull requests, issues, repositories and avatars. Your sign-in for it is kept in your Mac’s Keychain and sent only to that service.
• Update checks. Flow asks gitflowmac.app whether a new version is out and downloads it from there. Like any web request, that shows the server your IP address and Flow’s version. Flow sends no profile of your Mac with it.

Flow has no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting that sends anything to us.

Commit messages from Apple Intelligence

If you ask Flow to write a commit message, it uses Apple Intelligence on your Mac. Your changes aren’t sent to us or to a service of ours for it.

When you buy a license

The checkout is run by Paddle.com, our reseller and the Merchant of Record. Paddle collects what’s needed to take payment and work out tax, such as your email address, country and payment details, under Paddle’s privacy policy. We never see your card.

From Paddle we receive your email address and the purchase’s transaction ID. We use them for one thing: to make your license and email it to you. The email is sent through Resend, our email provider. Our license server keeps no database of buyers; its log records only the transaction ID. Paddle keeps the record of the purchase, which we can see in our Paddle account for support, refunds and accounting.

Your license contains your email address and the transaction ID. It’s stored on your Mac, and Flow checks it on your Mac: there’s no activation server, and Flow doesn’t tell us when or where a license is used.

When you write to us

If you email us or use the contact form, we get your address and what you wrote, and we use them to answer you.

This website

pixegen.net uses Google Analytics to count visits, which sets cookies and shows Google your IP address and the pages you view. The Flow app doesn’t use it.

Sharing

We don’t sell information about you or share it for advertising. The only others involved are the ones named above, each for its own job: Paddle (payments), Resend (email), Cloudflare (hosting the license server and downloads) and Google (website analytics).

Your choices

To see, correct or delete what we hold about you, write to flow@pixegen.net. Some purchase records have to be kept for tax and accounting. Removing Flow from your Mac removes its settings and your license from it.

Children

Flow isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we’ll change the date above.
