Sent over HTTPS/TLS

Communications between your phone, computer, and the afk server are encrypted in transit.

Authentication tokens protected

Sign-in session and computer authentication tokens are stored as SHA-256 hashes, not in their original form.

Not used to train AI

Prompts, code, and work data are used only to provide afk features.

Encrypted at rest · automatic deletion

Task requests, agent output, and code diffs are kept in database infrastructure encrypted at rest and automatically deleted after the configured retention period.
