Privacy
List Pilot is designed with privacy as a core principle.
Local storage only
All data is stored on your device in a local SQLite database:
- Shopping lists and items
- Custom catalog entries
- Learned check-off order
- Shop stats records (when Shop Stats is enabled)
- Theme preference
Nothing is sent to a server. There is no cloud sync, no analytics, and no account system.
No sign-up required
List Pilot does not require an email address, phone number, or any form of registration.
Export is optional
You can export your custom catalog to a JSON file on your device at any time via Settings. This file stays under your control — List Pilot does not upload it anywhere.
Permissions
List Pilot requests minimal permissions. On Android, saving exports to the public Downloads folder uses the MediaStore API without broad storage permissions.
Data deletion
Uninstalling the app removes all local data from your device. Export your catalog first if you want to keep a backup.
Open source
List Pilot is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can inspect the code to verify these claims.
