Summary

DeviceShelf is a local-first network scanner for desktop and mobile. We do not run servers that store your data. Your scan results — the devices on your network, their addresses, open ports and any notes — are stored only on the device that ran the scan. There is no DeviceShelf account and no DeviceShelf cloud.

What we collect

License purchase: when you buy a license, our payment processor Polar.sh (see Imprint) collects your email and billing details to process the order and issue invoices. We receive your email and license key only.

Telemetry: none. The app contains no analytics and does not report what you scan, what it finds, or that you launched it.

Scan data: stays on your device. You can export it to JSON, CSV or an HTML report, or delete it, at any time.

Optional features that send data

Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly enable one of these:

• AI features: if you add your own API key, prompts (which may include scan details) go directly from your device to the provider you chose — Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Mistral, Groq, Google Gemini, or a local Ollama model. We never see or proxy them.
• Fingerbank lookup: if enabled, a device's DHCP fingerprint may be sent to fingerbank.org to help identify it.
• WAN-IP info: on demand, your public IP may be sent to ip-api.com to show your internet-facing details.

Cookies on this website

This marketing site (deviceshelf.app) does not set any analytics or tracking cookies. The checkout pages of our payment processor may.

Your rights (GDPR)

You may request export or deletion of any personal data we hold (your purchase email + license key) at any time by emailing [email protected].
