This website
This website consists of static pages. Our hosting provider and a content delivery network process IP addresses and access logs in order to deliver the pages. A visit counter from statinside.com records page visits. Reading the pages needs no account.
When you press the download button, the website records the time, your IP address, your browser's user agent and the referral source, if there is one. This is used to count downloads. After that the button redirects you to the installer.
The website does not see your chats, files or keys. Those exist only on your PC and, when you use a cloud model, at the provider whose endpoint you chose. Questions about how a provider handles prompts must go to that provider.
The Pageferry app
Pageferry runs on your Windows PC and collects no telemetry. Your chats, working folders and API keys stay on the PC. Secrets that appear in tool output are redacted before the output reaches the model. The app is for Windows 10 and 11, and the interface is available in 13 languages.
Prompts go only to the model endpoint you pick. With a cloud model, the prompt, including the text of files the agent reads, goes to that provider and is handled under that provider's terms. With a local model nothing leaves the machine.
Shell, web and SSH actions can reach beyond the working folder, so use the app only on your own files and on servers you are authorised to administer. The approval mode you choose, Auto-run, Ask first or Plan only, decides how much of that work waits for your OK.
Optional features that use the network
Web search is an optional feature and can go over an anonymizing network. The queries are sent to the search services the app uses, so do not put secrets into a search request.
Control of chats from a phone browser uses one outbound connection from your PC and can be switched off. If you never need it, leave it off.
Update checks use the network to learn whether a new version is ready; the app then shows an Update button. The http_get tool fetches a page only when the agent uses it during a task that you started.
Your choices
You decide which model endpoint receives your prompts: a local model keeps everything on the machine, while a cloud model sends the prompts to its provider. The Models page describes the three options.
You can switch off the control of chats from a phone browser. Plan only runs nothing at all, and Ask first pauses before actions that change something, so you see such actions before they happen. Auto-run acts at once, so use it only for work you have already read.
You can check the installer against the published SHA-256 manifest before you run it. A matching value tells you that the file is the original build.
You can read what the website records in the first section of this page, and you can use the app without ever visiting the website again after the download.
Contact
The Send feedback button inside the app is the way to contact support, and it is the place for questions about privacy as well. Please do not paste secrets, passwords or private file contents into a feedback message.
This page describes version 2.9.26 of the app, released on 2 November 2026. The download page lists the steps to verify the installer, and the FAQ explains the approval modes in plain words.
