Privacy Policy

Media Sort is designed to work entirely on your local machine. Your files, settings, and browsing history never leave your computer.

Data Storage

All application data is stored locally on your device:

• Settings: Stored in config.toml in your OS configuration directory (~/.config/media-sort/ on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/media-sort/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\media-sort\ on Windows).
• File access: Media Sort reads media files from directories you explicitly open. File contents are read for metadata extraction, thumbnail generation, and playback. No file data is uploaded or transmitted.
• History: The undo/redo history is kept only in memory while the application is running. The last-opened folder path is stored in config.toml. Neither is sent anywhere.

No Telemetry or Analytics

Media Sort does not include any telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, or usage tracking. There are no third-party analytics SDKs, no event logging services, and no data collection of any kind.

Network Access

Media Sort makes network requests in only one scenario:

• Update checks (optional, enabled by default): When Check for updates on startup is enabled in settings, the application contacts the GitHub Releases API (api.github.com) to check for new versions. This request is a standard HTTPS GET to a public API endpoint. No personal information, file data, or usage statistics are included in the request.

You can disable update checks in the Settings dialog at any time.

Open Source

Media Sort is open source software licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0-or-later). The full source code is available at github.com/Lolle2000la/Media-Sort.
