Privacy & Licensing
Verun runs entirely on your machine — no data is sent to Verun's servers, no account required. Licensed under AGPL-3.0.
Verun is designed around a local-first, privacy-respecting architecture. Your code and data never leave your machine.
Local-Only Execution
Verun runs entirely on your local machine. There is no Verun cloud service, no server component, and no data collection.
- No account required — Download, install, and start using Verun immediately.
- No telemetry — Verun does not send usage data, crash reports, or analytics to any server.
- No data transmission — Your code, session history, configuration, and worktree contents stay on your device.
What Stays On-Device
| Data | Location | Sent to Verun? |
|---|---|---|
| Source code | Your project's worktrees | No |
| Session conversations | Local SQLite database | No |
.verun.json config | Your project root | No |
| Agent API keys | Managed by the agent CLI (e.g., Claude Code) | No |
| Task history | Local SQLite database | No |
When you use an AI agent provider (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex), that provider's CLI communicates directly with its own API. Verun does not intercept or relay these communications. Check each provider's privacy policy for their data handling practices.

Key points
- Using Verun: You can use Verun to work on any project — proprietary, open-source, or personal. The AGPL-3.0 license applies to Verun itself, not to the code you write with it.
- Modifying Verun: If you modify Verun's source code and distribute your changes (or make them available over a network), you must license those modifications under AGPL-3.0 and make the source code available.
- Your code: Code written by AI agents through Verun belongs to you. The license of the agent's output depends on the agent provider's terms, not Verun's license.
