Privacy Policy

The short version

Knit is built so your data stays on your device. There are no accounts and no servers, so there is no central place where your messages or identity are stored, and nothing is sold or shared.

The Knit app

• No account, no sign-up. You are identified only by a randomly generated profile stored on your device.
• Messages travel directly between nearby devices over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and are not sent to any server we operate. Direct and group messages are end-to-end encrypted — their contents, mentions and image attachments are readable only by the people in the conversation, even though every message relays hop-by-hop through other devices. The public Nearby broadcast room is plaintext by design, as it has no fixed set of recipients.
• Permissions. Android requires nearby-device and location permissions to discover devices over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Knit does not use your location to track you; it is never collected or transmitted.
• On-device AI moderation. The optional content filter runs entirely on your phone using a bundled AI model — it screens for abusive text and explicit images. Images and text are never uploaded for analysis.
• No analytics or ads. Knit contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

This website

getknit.app is a static page served from a standard web host. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. The host may keep standard server access logs (such as IP address, timestamp and requested URL) for security and operations, as is typical for any website.

Links to Ko-fi and Google Play take you to third-party services that have their own privacy policies.
