Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 October 2026

Nautilus does not collect your data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no advertising. Kaishi, LLC operates no servers that Nautilus talks to.

Machines and credentials

The machines you save, including hostnames, ports, usernames, and any on-connect command, are stored only on your device. Passwords and private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, protected by the device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

None of it is sent to Kaishi or to any third party. Credentials leave your device only when Nautilus uses them to authenticate to the server you asked it to connect to, over the encrypted SSH connection to that server.

Terminal sessions

A session runs directly between your device and the machine you connect to. Kaishi has no visibility into it. Nothing you type or read in a terminal is recorded, uploaded, or retained by Nautilus after the session ends.

Files you upload

When you upload a file from Files, Photos, or the clipboard, Nautilus sends it over the encrypted connection to the machine you chose, into the folder you chose. It goes nowhere else. Nautilus only sees the photos and files you pick, and keeps no copy after the upload.

Dictation

Dictation is processed entirely on your device by Apple's on-device speech models. Audio is used to produce text on the device and is not stored. Neither the audio nor the transcript is transmitted to Kaishi or to anyone else. The custom word list you configure stays on the device as well.

The microphone is used only while you are actively dictating, and iOS shows its recording indicator whenever it is in use.

Network connections

Nautilus connects only to the machines you configure. It contacts no other network service. Any speech model files that iOS needs for on-device dictation are downloaded by the operating system from Apple, under Apple's privacy terms.

Deleting your data

Deleting a machine in Nautilus removes its details and its stored credentials. Deleting the app removes everything Nautilus has stored, including its Keychain entries.

Children

Nautilus is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new date above.
