TTailScope

Privacy, kept plain.

TailScope is built to help you administer your own Tailnet without adding another place for your credentials or management data to live.

What TailScope is

TailScope is an independently developed, unofficial client for the Tailscale Admin API. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tailscale Inc. The app is not a VPN client and does not establish a Tailscale tunnel.

Credentials and local storage

API access tokens, OAuth client secrets, and other sensitive credentials are stored in the device Keychain using device-only, unlocked-access protection. Account names, selections, and appearance preferences may be stored locally in the app container. Removing an account removes its corresponding local Keychain items.

Requests to Tailscale

When you connect a live Tailnet, the app sends management requests directly from your device to the official Tailscale API. TailScope does not operate a relay server and the current build does not retain copies of your credentials or API responses on a developer-operated backend. Tailscale handles those requests under its own terms and privacy policy.

Demo mode

The built-in demo uses fictional devices, accounts, addresses, logs, and policies. It does not contact a real Tailnet and does not produce real network writes.

Purchases and Apple services

TailScope Pro Lifetime is a one-time App Store purchase. Apple processes payment and may process installation, purchase, and optional diagnostics according to your device and App Store settings. TailScope does not receive payment-card details.

Analytics, advertising, and tracking

The current build contains no advertising, cross-app tracking, third-party analytics SDK, or developer-operated crash collection service. This statement should be reviewed again before each release if the app adds a service or SDK.

Your choices

You can remove saved accounts from Account Center, delete the app's local data, revoke credentials in Tailscale, or contact the publisher through the support details published with the app. Do not send tokens, client secrets, auth keys, or unredacted logs in a support request.

Privacy contact

For privacy questions or data-handling requests, email . Do not include credentials or unredacted Tailnet data in the message.

Changes

If the app's data handling changes materially, this page and the App Store privacy information should be updated together. Effective date: August 19, 2026.
