That’s a fair concern, and I understand the hesitation.

This app does not request broad or unrelated permissions. It doesn’t require accounts, contacts, location, or background tracking.

The reason it exists as a native app is mostly performance and offline UX, not data collection. That said, a lightweight web version is something I’m considering for users who prefer not to install apps.

Thanks for explaining your perspective — it’s useful feedback.

No offence: but the problem is an app forces me to trust you; a website does not. I have toghter and easier control over a web request than I do over an app, and even if an app doesn’t have these permissions today, an update or an update after a sale could trivially and silently introduce them.

A website is obvious if the deal changes-- you put up a login wall to harvest data; I stop using the site. You put trackers and ads into the UI; I block it at the DNS level.

  That’s a completely reasonable position, and I don’t disagree with it.
  
  You’re right that native apps require a higher level of trust than the web, and that control and transparency are easier to maintain on the web side. Those concerns are valid, especially for privacy-conscious users.
  
  This app is intentionally minimal and privacy-light, but I fully accept that for some people, a website will always be the preferred and safer option. That perspective makes sense.
  
  Thanks for laying it out clearly.

Even your comments stink of chatgpt

  Fair observation — I do use AI to help draft responses faster, but every comment here is reviewed and adjusted by me personally before posting.
  
  The goal is not to sound like a bot, but to provide clear, concise, and helpful answers while keeping up with the discussion.
  
  I appreciate the honesty, and I’m always open to feedback on tone or style.

    The problem is the AI tool you’re using is making your comments longer than necessary while still saying little to nothing.
    
    Shorter content is faster to both write and read. Using AI to fluff up your comments just makes it seem like you’re out of touch with how using it makes you sound, and trying to feel like you didn’t waste all your money paying for an AI model.
    
    It’s also not concise at all, extra words with no purpose make it less clear and don’t make it any more helpful.
    
    Just say what you prompted it with.
