glyph is a one-person, self-hosted project. this page says plainly what happens to your data — no legal team, just the truth.
what's collected: your username, a salted password hash (never the password itself), and whatever notes or sketches you write in your own account.
where it lives: on a single server I run and pay for (a Hetzner VPS). Nothing is sent to any third party — no analytics, no trackers, no ad networks, no cloud AI services. I checked the code specifically to confirm this: there are zero outbound network calls from glyph to anywhere but your own browser.
who can see it: just me, as the person operating the server — the same way any self-hosted app works. Notes are stored per-account in separate folders; other users of glyph can't read your notes.
cookies: one cookie, used only to keep you logged in (glyph_session). It's not used for tracking or advertising.
how long it's kept: until you delete it. You can delete your entire account and every note in it yourself, at any time, from inside the app (sidebar → delete account) — no need to ask.
who this isn't for: glyph isn't intended for children under 13.
glyph is provided as-is, run by one person as a personal project, with no uptime guarantee and no warranty. Please don't use it for anything you can't afford to lose, and keep your own backup of anything critical — notes are plain markdown files, so exporting them is straightforward if you ever need to.
who owns what: your notes, sketches and files are entirely yours — I claim no rights over anything you write here, and you can export or delete all of it at any time. glyph itself is the other way round: the software, its source code, design and interface are © Daksh, all rights reserved. It isn't open source and it isn't licensed for reuse — copying, republishing, redistributing or selling it, or running a modified version of it as your own service, isn't permitted without written permission. Reading the page source in your browser is unavoidable and fine; shipping it as your own product is not.
This service may change or shut down at any time — it's a hobby project, not a company.
