MultiSourcery
Privacy Policy
Effective September 14, 2026 · Applies to the Mac and iPad editions
The short version
MultiSourcery has no advertising, tracking SDK, analytics SDK, or developer-operated account service. The app's purpose is to connect directly to devices and servers you choose. Files, credentials, transfer records, and network-scan results are not sent to MultiSourcery's developer.
Files and photos
The app accesses files in its own container and locations you explicitly select with the system Files picker. Approved external folders may be remembered so you can return to them. Photo Library access is requested only when you choose a photo-related action. Files leave the device only when you start a transfer, share them with the system share sheet, or host a selected folder for other devices on your network.
Credentials and identities
Passwords, imported SSH keys, server identities, trusted host keys, and saved enterprise credentials are stored with Apple's Keychain services. Connection profiles and ordinary preferences are stored on the device. MultiSourcery does not operate a service that receives or recovers those secrets.
Local-network discovery
When you use network discovery, MultiSourcery uses Bonjour and direct connections on the local network to find device names, addresses, advertised services, reachable ports, and local administration pages. It may combine that evidence with an offline manufacturer list to provide a more useful device name.
Optional enterprise identification can contact a host you select through read-only SNMP, LDAP RootDSE, or Redfish requests. Those probes are off unless you enable them. Discovery results remain in the app and are not sent to the developer.
Transfers, hosting, and Swarm
When you connect or transfer, files, filenames, metadata, and protocol credentials travel directly between your device and the server you chose. HTTP and WebDAV transfers can use an iPadOS background transfer session. Other socket-based transfers and iPad-hosted servers run in the foreground.
If you start a Swarm, participating local-network peers exchange verified file parts and report their names, addresses, capabilities, holdings, and transfer progress to the local coordinator. Swarm web pages and endpoints are limited to intranet clients. No MultiSourcery-operated cloud coordinator is involved.
Support reports and this website
The support form creates a public issue in the MultiSourcery GitHub issue tracker. Anything submitted there can be read publicly, so do not include passwords, private file contents, private addresses, or other sensitive information. GitHub and the website host may process normal request data under their own policies.
Your controls
You can remove saved connections, transfer history, trusted hosts, keys, certificates, and folder shortcuts in the app. You can revoke Local Network, Photos, Files, or Face ID access in system settings. Deleting the app removes its local container; Keychain items can also be removed from within MultiSourcery before deletion.
Questions or requests
Use the support page to ask a privacy question or report a problem. Remember that the linked issue tracker is public.
