StackMaps is a task tracker that runs inside your code editor. This page describes exactly what it stores, what leaves your machine, and when.
What StackMaps stores locally
Your projects, tasks, the reason recorded on each branch, your navigation history and any checklists. This lives on your own machine, in your editor's storage. If you never sign in, it never goes anywhere else.
If you sign in
Signing in is optional and off by default. When you do, your projects and tasks are stored on servers we operate, so they can follow you between machines. That includes task titles, the reasons you wrote, task status and ordering, and a record of which tasks you visited and when.
We use WorkOS to handle sign-in. They receive your email address and whatever your identity provider shares. We never see your password.
If you use the AI features
AI is optional and requires your own API key. When you ask for an analysis, the prompt is sent directly to the provider you configured — Anthropic, OpenAI or Google — using your key. It does not pass through our servers.
That prompt contains your task titles, the reasons you recorded, and the shape of the surrounding tree, because that is what the analysis is about. If your task names contain something confidential, treat them the way you would treat anything else you send to that provider, and check their terms.
Your API keys
API keys are stored in your operating system's credential store — Keychain on
macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, libsecret on Linux. They are never
written to settings.json, never sent to us, and never exposed to
the extension's interface layer.
What we never collect
- No usage analytics or telemetry
- No crash reporting
- No tracking pixels, cookies or third-party scripts on this site
- Nothing about which files you have open or what code you are writing
Deleting your data
If you have not signed in, deleting your data means uninstalling the extension — nothing exists anywhere else.
If you have signed in, email us at the address below and we will delete your account and everything stored with it: workspaces, projects, tasks and history. You can export everything to JSON or Markdown first, from inside the extension, at any time.
Changes
StackMaps is in beta and this policy may change as features are added. Any change that affects what leaves your machine will be described in the changelog, not made quietly.
