Keep the Light On privacy
Updated
Keep the Light On processes live cycling power on your Mac. It has no accounts, analytics, advertising, workout history or ride uploads. Commands to your Hue Bridge stay on your local network.
What stays on your Mac
Settings and selected device identifiers are saved in macOS preferences. Hue pairing credentials are saved in your login Keychain. A local recovery file stores supported starting light states so you can retry restoration after an interruption; it contains no Hue credentials.
Update checks and downloads
Update checks contact downloads.keepthereceipt.kr, hosted through Bunny.net. Automatic checks are optional and off by default. Updates use Sparkle and require your action to install.
The server receives ordinary connection information, including your IP address and the updater’s app and operating-system identification. Additional Sparkle system-profile reporting is disabled. Cycling data and Hue credentials are never included. CDN request logging is disabled for the download host in our current configuration.
Removing local data
Restore any outstanding lamp session first. Use the device controls in Plug it in to forget the bike or disconnect the Bridge. Settings use the com.keepthereceipt.keepthelighton preferences domain. Recovery information is stored in Application Support → Keep the Light On. Removing the application alone does not remove Keychain credentials.
