Privacy

Apexline counts installs and page views anonymously so the developer knows how many people use it. It has no ads, no cookies and no personal tracking.

The app

Once a day, Apexline sends an anonymous usage ping to analytics.n3el.dev, a stats service run by the Apexline developer. The ping contains:

• a random install ID created on your Mac (not linked to you or your accounts)
• the Apexline version, macOS version and chip type
• whether it is a release or development build

The service also notes your country from the connection. Your IP address is not stored.

To turn it off, open Settings → Privacy and switch off Share anonymous usage stats. Apexline then sends nothing.

This website

apexline.io uses a small cookieless script from analytics.n3el.dev to count page views and download clicks. It records the page address (without query strings), the referring site, your country and a rough device and browser type. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and can't link your visits across days.

What is never collected

• No names, emails, F1 TV or AI account details, passwords or tokens.
• No IP addresses are stored, and no cookies are used.
• Nothing about what you watch, your files or your settings.

Raw stats are deleted after about 13 months.

Other services the app talks to

• F1 TV and Formula 1 live timing, when you sign in and watch. Your F1 TV and AI sign-ins stay on your Mac.
• OpenF1 and news feeds, for timing, results and headlines.
• ChatGPT (Codex) or Grok, only if you connect one for AI Copilot.
• apexline.io, for update checks, the OpenF1 proxy, and friends and watch parties. Friends and watch parties store your display name, friend code and watch-party chat messages.

Questions

Apexline is open source, so you can read exactly what it sends on GitHub. Questions or requests: open an issue.
