Crash Reporting

Without crash reporting, fixing a bug requires you to:

• Stop what you're doing and open a browser
• Go to the GitHub repo and create an Issue
• Explain exactly what you were doing when the app crashed
• Hope I can re-create the bug myself to get the stack trace

That's a heavy ask for an app that's already broken — it leaves you with a bad experience and me without enough data to fix it.

To close that gap without compromising your data or privacy, this app uses ACRA — an open-source crash reporting library. Reports are received by a self-hosted Acrarium backend that runs on my own infrastructure, so crash data doesn't go to any third parties — no Google or other big-data services.

You can turn crash reporting on or off at any time with a toggle on the Settings page.

What Gets Collected

ACRA only sends reports when the app hits an unhandled crash. By default, it only sends the technical context needed to diagnose the crash:

• The stack trace of the crash, plus the app and Android versions
• Basic device context — e.g. the device model and OS version
• A short extract of the app's own logcat (the last ~200 lines)

It does not track usage or activity, collect a device identifier, or send system or other apps' logs. Each report is anonymized and sent directly to my server, so only I receive the data.
