What Flock Stores Locally
- window layout, pane state, preferences, and restore data
- memory entries in
~/Library/Application Support/Flock/memories.json - optional `.flock-context.md` files in working directories when memory is enabled
- optional usage snapshots in `UserDefaults` for the status bar tracker
What Can Touch The Network
- Claude panes run your installed Claude Code CLI. Its network activity is handled by that CLI and your provider account, not by a Flock backend.
- Auto-update checks fetch `version.json` from `baahaus.github.io/flock` if you leave update checks enabled.
- The optional usage tracker can call Anthropic's OAuth usage endpoint to show plan utilization when you enable it.
What Flock Does Not Do
- no analytics SDKs
- no crash reporting service
- no ad network
- no separate Flock account
- no remote storage for your memories or session state
Permissions
Flock can ask for notification permission so it can alert you when agents finish. File access happens through the terminals and file pickers you use inside the app. If you turn on the global hotkey, Flock listens for that shortcut at the macOS event level.
