Agent Console
Last updated: September 16, 2026
The short version: Agent Console has no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry, and we operate no server that receives anything about you. It reads and writes Claude Code's own configuration files on your Mac. The only connection it makes on its own initiative is its update check; every other connection happens because you asked for one — searching the MCP registry, cloning a server's repository, installing that server's dependencies, or managing plugins.
1. Data collection
We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. Agent Console has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising.
We operate no server involved in running this app, so there is nothing for us to receive.
2. The files it reads and writes
Everything the app shows you is already on your Mac. It reads Claude Code's own files and writes your changes back to those same files. It keeps no database, no copy and no index of its own.
- Reads:
~/.claude.json,~/.claude/settings.json, your skills, subagents, commands and installed plugins under~/.claude/, the session transcripts under~/.claude/projects/, and the.claude/folder of each project you open — including itsCLAUDE.md,CLAUDE.local.mdand memory files. - Writes: the same files, when you change something in the app.
- Backups: before overwriting any file, the app copies it into
~/.claude/backups/claude-monitor/under a timestamp. These backups stay on your Mac and are yours to delete.
Session transcripts are the record of your own conversations with Claude Code. They are read from disk to display them and are never uploaded, summarized elsewhere, or sent anywhere.
3. Network connections
One connection is the app's own: it asks storage.bdtech.app once a day whether a newer version exists, and downloads it if you accept. That request carries no identifier and nothing about you or your files — the app's version, your macOS version and your IP address are what any web request necessarily reveals. You can also ask for the check yourself from Agent Console → Check for Updates…
The rest happen only when you ask for them, and go where you point them:
- Searching the MCP catalog queries registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, the public registry, with the words you typed.
- Preparing a server's code runs
git cloneagainst the repository URL you supply. - Installing that server's dependencies runs your own package manager (npm, bun, pnpm, yarn, uv or pip), which reaches its own registry.
- Installing, enabling or removing a plugin runs Claude Code's own
claude plugincommand, which talks to the marketplace that plugin came from. - Discovering an MCP server's tools starts that server on your Mac and asks it what it offers. What that server then does is governed by its own author, not by us.
None of these carry anything about you beyond what the request itself needs, and none of them reach us.
4. The optional LAN monitor
The app ships a separate, opt-in web server for watching your setup from another device on your own network. It is off unless you start it, and read-only unless you start it in write mode. It is served over TLS, and it refuses any request that does not carry the token printed when it starts. It listens only on your local network and publishes nothing to the internet.
5. Purchases
Agent Console is free. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions, so no payment information is ever involved.
6. Third-party services
None. The app bundles no analytics, advertising, attribution or crash-reporting service. It is built on Tauri, Rust and React, all of which run locally, and it bundles Sparkle, the open-source updater described in section 3, which talks only to our own server.
7. Children
Agent Console is a developer tool, suitable for users of all ages. Because it collects no data at all, it collects no data from children.
8. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
