Security

app-it is a personal, open-source project, maintained by one developer in their spare time and offered under the MIT LICENSE with no warranty. It is an independent community tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or OpenAI.

It is a local developer tool. It should not collect telemetry, upload project files, or send source code to any service.

What It Can Do

  • Read a local project to choose a launcher strategy.
  • Add scripts, docs, icons, and generated .app bundles to that project.
  • Start and stop local dev-server processes during verification.

What It Should Not Do

  • Handle secrets.
  • Modify production infrastructure.
  • Install global dependencies without saying so.
  • Send project data over the network.
  • Claim that ad-hoc signed local .app bundles are notarized or ready for distribution.

Reporting a Vulnerability

For a normal bug, open a public GitHub issue with a minimal reproduction.

For something security-sensitive that shouldn't be public yet, please report it privately instead of opening an issue: use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository. As a one-person project there is no formal SLA, but reports are read and triaged in good faith, and fixes are prioritized by severity.

Either way, do not include secrets, private .env values, customer data, or proprietary source code in your report.
