What GTFO Stores

GTFO is a desktop application. All data is stored locally on your computer in a SQLite database. Nothing is transmitted to our servers. Here is what is stored on your device:

  • Base zone labels: The friendly names you give your WiFi zones (e.g., “Home Office”).
  • WiFi BSSIDs: The hardware addresses of your home access points, used for network matching.
  • External IP address: Your public IP at the time you tag a base zone, used as a secondary matching signal. This is fetched from api.ipify.org and stored locally — it is never sent to ILIO servers.
  • Schedule entries: Your configured focus hours (day + time range).
  • Override logs: When you override the focus screen, the reason you typed and the timestamp are stored locally.

What GTFO Does NOT Collect

  • Your browsing history, keystrokes, or screen content.
  • Names or details of non-home WiFi networks you encounter.
  • Any data from other applications on your computer.
  • GPS or geolocation data.

Network Scanning

GTFO scans visible WiFi networks to match BSSIDs against your configured base zones. This scan happens entirely on your device. The results are never transmitted anywhere — only the BSSIDs you explicitly save as base zones are stored in the local database.

External IP Fetching

GTFO makes a request to api.ipify.org to determine your current external IP address. This is used as a secondary signal for network matching (to detect your home network even if WiFi is unavailable but you are connected via Ethernet). The IP is stored locally and is never sent to ILIO servers. The ipify service has its own privacy policy.

Data Storage

All data is stored in a local SQLite database on your computer. We do not operate any cloud servers that store your personal data. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data in any way.

Data Deletion

You can delete all your data at any time through the Settings tab in the GTFO desktop app (Settings → Data → Clear All Data). Uninstalling GTFO also removes the local database.

GTFO Website

This marketing website (gtfo.ilio.dev) does not use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts. We do not collect any personal data through this website.
