Privacy Policy
Dyne does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no servers of ours in between you and AWS.
What Dyne stores on your Mac
Everything Dyne remembers lives on your own computer:
- Connection settings (names, regions, endpoints, profile names) and saved snippets are kept in the app's sandboxed container under
~/Library/Containers. - AWS access keys and sign-in tokens you enter are stored in the macOS Keychain, encrypted by the system, and read back only by Dyne.
- A bookmark to your
~/.awsfolder is stored if you choose to grant Dyne access to it, so it can list the profiles in yourconfigandcredentialsfiles without asking again. Access is read-only, and only ever to the folder you picked in the standard macOS Open panel. - Window positions and preferences, as any Mac app does.
Deleting a connection in Dyne removes its settings and its Keychain secret. Deleting the app removes the container; Keychain items can be removed with Keychain Access if you uninstall without deleting connections first.
Where your data goes
Dyne talks directly to the endpoints you configure, using the official AWS SDK over TLS: Amazon DynamoDB, AWS STS, AWS IAM Identity Center, or a local endpoint such as DynamoDB Local. The tables, items, and queries you work with move only between your Mac and those endpoints. We operate no servers, proxies, or relays, and nothing about your usage is reported to us.
Signing in with IAM Identity Center (SSO)
When you connect through IAM Identity Center, Dyne opens the sign-in page in your default browser. To receive the result, it briefly listens on a loopback address on your Mac (127.0.0.1, random port) for the redirect from your browser. That listener accepts connections only from your own computer and closes as soon as sign-in finishes or is cancelled. Your password never passes through Dyne.
Third parties
- Amazon Web Services processes the requests Dyne makes on your behalf under your own AWS account and the AWS Privacy Notice.
- Apple handles your purchase through the Mac App Store. If you have chosen in macOS settings to share crash and diagnostic data with developers, Apple may pass anonymized crash reports to us. We receive no other information about you from Apple.

Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with an updated effective date. Because Dyne collects nothing, changes are expected to be rare and editorial.
