Privacy policy

QuotaHush is a local companion service with browser and Visual Studio Code clients. It has no project-operated backend, advertising, analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting service.

Data processed locally

QuotaHush may read credentials already stored for Claude Code and Codex CLI. It may also read DeepSeek and Z.AI credentials that you place in the QuotaHush configuration file. Credentials are used only to make requests to the corresponding provider and are never returned by the local API or displayed by the clients.

The clients receive normalized usage information such as plan names, quota percentages, reset times, credit balances, spend, token counts, and request counts. QuotaHush does not read prompts or conversation contents.

Network communication

QuotaHush Companion contacts only the provider endpoints needed for the features you enable. The browser and Visual Studio Code extensions contact the Companion through http://127.0.0.1:8765 on the same computer. QuotaHush does not transmit credentials or usage information to the project authors.

Local storage

Provider responses may be cached locally to reduce upstream requests and show the latest valid result during temporary failures. Diagnostic logs are stored locally and redact authentication tokens. Claude Code and Codex CLI credentials remain in their original files; refreshed CLI credentials may be written back using conservative atomic updates.

Windows configuration and logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\QuotaHush
Linux configuration: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/quotahush
Linux cache and state: ~/.cache/quotahush and ~/.local/state/quotahush

Uninstalling the Companion does not delete provider credentials. You may remove the QuotaHush directories above to delete its configuration, cache, and logs.

Browser permission

The Chromium extension requests access only to http://127.0.0.1:8765/*. This permission is used exclusively to retrieve usage information from QuotaHush Companion on the same computer.

Third-party services

Requests made to Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Z.AI are governed by those providers' own terms and privacy policies. QuotaHush is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by those providers.
