Privacy & Consent
Monitoring you can actually trust
Most productivity trackers watch first and ask never. Work Assistant does the opposite — and here's exactly how.
Off until you say yes
Activity capture does nothing until you accept a clear disclosure. Install the app, use the voice and task features, and never turn monitoring on — that's a perfectly normal way to use it.
Consent that re-asks itself
The disclosure is versioned. If we ever change what's captured, or which service processes it, the version bumps and you're asked to review and accept again. Silent scope-creep isn't possible by design.
Your data, on demand
Export everything the app holds about you whenever you want. It's your record of your own work — you should be able to take it with you.
Report what bothers you
If the assistant surfaces something you're not comfortable with, report it from inside the app. Content reporting is a first-class feature, not a buried form.
Runs on your machine
The activity watcher is a small local process bundled with the app. It looks at your active window to do its job — it isn't a hidden always-on recorder.
You choose the brains
Prefer not to send data to a third-party model provider? Point the app at your own self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible server. Same features, your infrastructure.
What the consent screen actually asks
What's captured
The name and title of your active window, on an interval — enough to tell whether you're on the task you named, and no keystrokes or screen contents.
Why
So the nudge engine can compare where your attention actually goes against the goals you set, and check in when they diverge.
Who touches it
Named explicitly — the app, its backend, and whichever model provider you've configured. Change the provider and you re-consent.
