Licenses & Privacy
Heaper is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your data is yours.
Local-First Privacy
Heaper's local-first architecture means:
- Your data lives on your device first — not on someone else's server
- Offline by default — Heaper works without any network connection, the selfhosted server also does not need internet to work.
Cloud Service (heaper.de)
If you use the hosted cloud service at heaper.de:
- Data is stored on servers in accordance with our privacy policy
- GDPR-compliant data handling
- You can export your data at any time
- You can delete your account and data
Self-Hosted Privacy
Self-hosting gives you maximum privacy:
- All data stays on your own infrastructure
- No telemetry or analytics sent to Heaper
- You control backups, encryption, and access
- No dependency on external services
- licenses are perpetual so you can use the version you installed forever. (This includes updates that are required to stay compatible with the latest version of the app too)
