Linux Remote privacy policy

Last updated 1 October 2026

Linux Remote is a phone app that controls your own PC, running Bazzite Linux or Windows, over your home Wi-Fi. It does not collect, store or share any personal data with us or anyone else.

What the app sends, and where

The app only talks to the PC address you type in, on your own network. It sends that PC the commands you tap (start or stop an app, play or pause media, change the volume, restart), the 6-digit pairing code, and a device label such as "iPhone" or "Android phone" so the PC can list paired phones. Nothing is sent to us, to an analytics service or to any other server.

What stays on your phone

The PC's address and the pairing token it issued are saved on your phone so you don't have to pair again. Unpairing in the app, or uninstalling it, deletes them.

What stays on your PC

The Linux Remote companion on your PC keeps a hash of each paired phone's token and its device label: in your home directory on Linux, and in your user profile on Windows. Running linux-remote revoke on Linux, or choosing "Unpair every phone" in the Windows tray menu, removes them. On a dual-boot PC, each system also stores an id derived from the PC's hardware, so the phone can recognise both systems as one PC. It never leaves your network.

No accounts, ads or tracking

There is no sign-up, no advertising, no advertising ID, no analytics and no third-party SDKs that collect data.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
