This website
theremoteledger.org is a static page. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, embeds no trackers, and makes no requests to any origin other than its own. The typefaces are served from this server instead of from Google, precisely so that visiting this page does not hand your IP address to a third party.
The one thing that is unavoidably recorded is what every web server records: your request reaches a machine, and that machine writes a standard access log line containing your IP address, the page you asked for, and your browser's user-agent string. Those logs keep the server running and do nothing else. No profiling, no advertising, no sharing.
The application
The Remote Ledger runs on your own computer. There is no Remote Ledger account, no Remote Ledger server, and nothing in the software reports back to us. We could not see your data if we wanted to, because it never travels anywhere we control.
- Everything it knows lives in one SQLite file inside the folder you installed it in.
- Your API keys are encrypted on that machine with a key that never leaves it.
- Your résumé, your knowledge base, your notes and your application history stay on disk.
- Deleting the folder deletes all of it, permanently, with no copy held elsewhere.
What the application does send, and where
It talks to exactly three kinds of place, all of which you choose:
- The AI provider you selected. Prompts go to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, Mistral or OpenRouter under your own key, or to a model running locally, in which case nothing leaves the machine at all. Their privacy policy governs what they do with it, so read the one belonging to whoever you picked.
- Job boards and employers' career pages, to read postings and verify that an application link is real. These are ordinary web requests to public pages.
- GitHub, only if you ask it to. Checking for an update reads a public repository. Offering a job board back opens a pull request from your own GitHub account, and sends four fields: the board's name, its address, the note you wrote, and how many roles it produced for you. That feature is off unless you switch it on, and it shows you the exact payload before anything leaves.
What we never receive
Your jobs. Your résumé. Your knowledge base. Your notes. Your API keys. Your email. Your name. There is no mechanism in the software by which any of it could reach us, and adding one would defeat the point of the project.
Children
This is a tool for people looking for work and is not directed at children under 13. Since it collects nothing from anyone, it collects nothing from them either.
Changes, and how to check
If this page changes, the date above changes with it. Because the site is open source, you do not have to take that on trust. The full history of this text is in the repository, and you can read the diff.
