Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 23, 2026

Data stored locally

Meguri indexes the folders you point it at and stores the resulting data only on your device:

• The media index (file paths, metadata, tags, favorites, ratings, bookmarks, play history) is kept in a local SQLite database.
• Thumbnails and preview images are generated and cached locally.
• Application settings are saved in a local configuration file.

None of this data ever leaves your machine, and the developer has no access to it. Your media files themselves are only read, never modified.

Network access

Meguri makes exactly one kind of network request: an optional update check. It queries the GitHub API (api.github.com) for the latest release of Meguri to let you know when a new version is available.

• The request contains no personal data or identifiers beyond what any HTTP request technically exposes (such as your IP address), which is processed by GitHub under the GitHub Privacy Statement.
• The automatic check on startup can be turned off in the app's settings; updates can then only be checked manually.

All other network activity is confined to your own machine: media is served to the app's window through a local server bound to 127.0.0.1, which is not reachable from other devices.

Analytics and telemetry

Meguri contains no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking of any kind. There are no user accounts and no cloud services.

Third parties

Meguri never shares your media, library data, or settings with third parties — none of it leaves your machine. The only third party involved is GitHub, which receives standard request metadata (such as your IP address) when the optional update check runs, as described under “Network access” above.

Changes to this policy

If Meguri's behavior ever changes in a way that affects this policy, this page will be updated and the effective date above will be revised.
