Your data stays yours.

Couch App

Couch respects your privacy.

• No tracking: Couch doesn’t track you or collect personal data. The only information we see is the anonymous usage data and crash reports Apple shares with all developers.
• Private sync: Your data is synced only through your personal iCloud account.
• No sharing: None of your account details, saved articles, or other information is ever shared with the developer or any third party.

Your data stays yours — private, secure, and under your control.

This website doesn’t use tracking cookies and shows no ads.

Visits are counted with Vercel Web Analytics. It works without cookies and doesn’t identify you: it only records anonymous figures such as the pages viewed, the referring site, country, browser and device type. The website is hosted by Vercel, which processes your IP address to deliver the pages.

If you pick a language in the footer, a cookie remembers your choice.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, you’ll receive news about new releases of Couch Reader. To provide this service we are using Mailchimp. You can end your subscription any time. Your email address will not be used in any other way, nor will it be shared with any other party.

Couch Web

Couch Web shows your reading list in the browser. You sign in with your Apple Account, and your data is loaded directly from your iCloud account. It never passes through our servers.

While you’re signed in, a cookie keeps your iCloud session, and your browser remembers the tags of your recent articles so the list appears faster. Both are removed when you sign out.

Article thumbnails are loaded through the image service images.weserv.nl, which receives the address of each image.
