Code Island Buddy is designed as a local companion for the Code Island Mac app. It mirrors the current session status from your Mac to your iPhone, Live Activity, Dynamic Island, StandBy, and Apple Watch.
Data Collection
The developer does not collect personal data from this app.
The app does not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, tracking SDKs, or remote logging services.
Local Device Communication
Code Island Buddy uses local network and Bluetooth capabilities to communicate between devices you own:
- Local network discovery is used to find your Mac running Code Island.
- MultipeerConnectivity is used to exchange session status and control commands between your iPhone and Mac.
- Bluetooth may be used as a lightweight local signal for companion status updates.
- WatchConnectivity is used to sync the latest state from your iPhone to your Apple Watch.
This communication happens locally between your devices. The developer does not operate a backend service for this companion app.
Data Shown in the App
The app may display local session information from Code Island, such as:
- Current agent name and status
- Workspace or session label
- Recent message previews
- Tool or permission state
- Questions that need your attention
This information is used to render the companion experience on your devices. It is not sent to the developer.
Notifications and Live Activities
If you enable notifications or Live Activities, the app may show current session status on your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, StandBy, or Apple Watch. These surfaces are provided by Apple system features on your own devices.
No Tracking
Code Island Buddy does not track you across apps or websites.
Children
Code Island Buddy is a developer productivity companion and is not directed to children.
