Privacy Policy
Afterhours is a menu bar app that runs on your Mac. It has no accounts and no servers, and it has no telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, or ads. This policy covers the app, how you download it, and this website.
What stays on your Mac
To tell when agents are working, Afterhours reads the names, command lines, and CPU time of the processes on your Mac. It uses them in memory and never saves or sends them. It never opens your project files.
When you install Claude Code hooks, Claude Code sends the hook each event, which can include your prompt and a tool's input and output, such as a file it read or a command's output. The hook keeps only the fields listed below and never saves or sends the rest.
It keeps these on your Mac:
- A small file for each hooked agent session in
~/Library/Application Support/Afterhours/sessions, with the session ID, agent name, state, process ID, working directory, and the time of the last event. Afterhours deletes it when the agent exits. - The
afterhours-hookprogram in~/Library/Application Support/Afterhours/bin, which the hooks run. - Your settings, in the
app.afterhours.localpreferences. - The management key of any CLIProxyAPI hub you add, in your Keychain.
- When you install Claude Code hooks in a config directory, an Afterhours entry for each hook event in its
settings.json, and a copy of your previoussettings.jsonassettings.json.afterhours-backup. - When you install lid-closed mode, a sudoers rule in
/etc/sudoers.d/afterhoursthat allows onlypmset -a disablesleep 0andpmset -a disablesleep 1.
What leaves your Mac
Only the subscription checks behind the Limits section of the menu. They're on by default. Turn them off in Settings… > Limits, and Afterhours makes no network requests at all.
Each check sends a login your tool already keeps on your Mac straight to that tool's own service, and reads back how much of each rate-limit window is left. It runs when you open the menu and every 5 minutes while agents work. Afterhours doesn't store, renew, or forward these logins. Antigravity saves only a long-lived Google login, so Afterhours asks Google for an access token that lasts an hour and keeps it in memory. Nothing passes through a server of ours, because there isn't one.

Downloads
You download Afterhours from GitHub Releases, or through Homebrew, which fetches the same file from GitHub. The GitHub Privacy Statement covers those downloads. The app itself doesn't check for updates.
This website
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Its fonts and images load from the site itself. It's hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses and browser details, under the Vercel Privacy Policy.
Removing your data
Everything Afterhours keeps is on your Mac. The uninstall steps remove all of it.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, this page shows a new date, and the change is in the site's history on GitHub. Ask questions in GitHub issues.
