Privacy

What Rex Desk saves

Everything is saved on your own computer: in %APPDATA%\Rex Desk on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support/Rex Desk on macOS.

Keys and tokens are encrypted. Each account on a computer has its own locked workspace, and other accounts cannot read it.

Your passphrase locks your workspace. Rex Desk cannot recover it if you forget it.

What leaves your computer

What you send to an agent (code, tasks, messages) goes to the AI service you chose for that agent: Anthropic for Claude Code, OpenAI for Codex, or Google for Gemini. Their own privacy terms apply to that data.

Rex Desk never asks for or stores your sign-ins for those services. It uses the tools you already signed in to.

Network access

Rex Desk's server only listens on your own computer (127.0.0.1). If you open it from your phone, that goes through your own private Tailscale network.

Cloud backup (optional)

Rex Desk works without it. If you turn it on, your workspace is copied to your own Turso database, under your own Turso account. You can turn it off at any time.

Voice

Dictation on your computer uses a speech model that runs locally. If you pick a cloud voice engine in Settings, the audio goes to that service.

Waiting list

If you join the waiting list, we save your email address, the language you used and the time you joined. We use it only to confirm your sign-up and to tell you when Rex Desk is ready to download.

The list is kept in private storage on Vercel, and the emails are sent through Gmail. We do not share or sell it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and using it deletes your address from the list.
