Your data stays close.

Alacrán is designed around local files, direct connections, and no Alacrán account.

Effective October 15, 2026

What Alacrán stores

Your company context, notes, decisions, and operational records are stored as files in folders on your computer. Alacrán does not require an Alacrán account or upload those folders to an Alacrán-hosted company database.

AI providers and connectors

When you ask an AI a question or connect an external service, relevant information is sent directly from your computer to the provider you selected. That provider may process information under its own privacy policy. Connect only services and information you are comfortable sharing with that provider.

Credentials

Alacrán uses credentials managed by your operating system or the connected tool where possible. Do not place passwords, API keys, payment details, or other secrets inside your company’s ordinary notes or definitions.

Analytics and updates

Alacrán does not require behavioral advertising or a hosted user profile. The application may check for available software updates. Requests made by connected AI tools and services are governed by those providers.

This website

The Alacrán website shows a Buy Me a Coffee support button. Loading it makes your browser send a request, which includes your IP address, to buymeacoffee.com, and that provider handles it under its own privacy policy. The button appears on this website only. The Alacrán app does not load it.

Your choices

You can disconnect a service, stop using an AI provider, move or delete your local company folder, or uninstall Alacrán. Keep backups before deleting files. Removing Alacrán does not automatically delete information held by a third-party provider.

Questions and changes

This policy may change as Alacrán develops. Material updates will appear here with a new effective date. Privacy questions can be sent to contact@alacran.app.

Your download has started. One more step on a Mac.

Apple has not notarized Alacrán, because that needs a paid Apple Developer account. Until you do this once, macOS may block the app, often with the message "Alacrán is damaged and can't be opened". It is not damaged.

  1. Install. Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Alacrán into Applications.
  2. Run this in Terminal, once. It clears the quarantine flag macOS puts on downloaded files. Use it only on the app you downloaded from this site or the official releases page.
    xattr -cr "/Applications/Alacran.app"
  3. Open Alacrán from Applications.

You only need this for the first install. Updates inside the app do not need it. Prefer to read more? Read the setup guide.
