Potentially very cool app, but it has no privacy policy (and it's a free app, with no obvious means of funding). There's therefore no baseline from which to judge how much to trust it with potentially sensitive tasks or machine accesses.

There's no funding - it's a side-project. You'll have to trust me when I say the app isn't tracking anything about the json data or passing it on to other servers.. it only uses what data you provide using the json protocol to render the UI in the app.

Thanks very much for the quick and direct reply. Maybe you want to say in your privacy policy just what you've said here.
So many possibilities. Perhaps a future version will have a URL as an optional key to get more info on a status. Links could be embedded to external web sites or for schemes deep-linking to other apps.
