Off until you turn it on
Mortiflix runs on your computer. Your projects, scripts, videos, chats and keys stay there. The app sends us nothing unless you say yes, and you say yes separately to each kind of thing.

Who we are
Mortiflix is made by Gerrod Kottman in Texas, USA. Questions, or a request to see or delete your data: hello@kottmanconsulting.com.
The three things you can turn on
- Crash reports. When the app, a render or a setup step fails, a report of what broke: versions, the kind of computer, which stage was open, and where in our code it failed. You can read each report before it goes, add a note or a log, or keep it on your computer.
- Usage data. Small facts about how the app is used, such as "stage 3 done after 14 minutes, 11 OK, 3 Fix, 1 Cut it" or "render finished: YouTube preset". Every item comes from a fixed list of event names and fields; none of them takes typed text. Each item waits in Help ▸ What we send, with the exact data, before it's sent at most once an hour.
- Sharing a finished project. One project at a time, only when you pick it: its video and project file, and what we may do with them (learn from it, show it). You can take it back at any time.
Every field we accept is listed on the full field list, made straight from the server's code. The server drops anything else.
What is never sent
API keys and tokens, your Claude Code login or account, your email, your user name, your computer's name, your IP address, project names, file and folder names, script words, chat, prompts, captions, voice lines, pictures, video, audio and the project file. The only exceptions are a note or a file you add to one crash report yourself, and a project you choose to share.
How it's cleaned
- Everything is cleaned on your computer before it's saved for sending, so what you see is what goes: user folders become
~, emails become<email>, long strings of letters and numbers are removed, and web addresses lose their query part. - The server cleans every text field again. A text field that looks like a key is not stored at all.
- You're known only by a random ID made when you turn sharing on. It isn't taken from your computer. You can make a new one at any time.
- The server never stores IP addresses.
Where it's kept
On our own server at Hetzner in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. Nobody else gets it. It is never sold and never used for ads. The one exception: when a crash is new, comes back or suddenly grows, a short alert with the crash's title, the versions and the counts goes to our team chat on Discord. Never your ID, your notes or your logs.
How long it's kept
| What | Kept |
|---|---|
| One crash report | 180 days. The crash's counts (no IDs) stay after that. |
| A log you attached | 30 days |
| Error counts per day | 2 years |
| Usage events | 90 days, then added into daily totals with no ID |
| Daily usage totals | 2 years |
| Finished-project summaries | 2 years |
| Shared projects | 90 days, unless we mark one to keep. Taking it back deletes it either way. |
| An install that sends nothing for 12 months | Deleted, with everything it sent |
| Backups | 30 days |
Your controls
- Turn any of it off in the app's preferences. Sending stops at once.
- See what's waiting in Help ▸ What we send, and delete anything before it goes.
- Download what you sent, all of it, as one file.
- Delete what you sent. Everything with your ID is removed right away.
- Reset your ID. The old one is deleted with everything it sent.
- By email: send us the ID shown in the app and we'll delete it within 30 days. Backups age out within 30 more.
The AI
Mortiflix uses your own Claude Code login (or your own Anthropic API key). What the app sends to Claude goes from your computer to Anthropic under your account and their terms. It never passes through us.
This website
mortiflix.com counts its visitors so we know what people read and download. It uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser, and your IP address is never stored.
- What's recorded per visit: the pages you open and how long each stays open, the site that sent you (its address, without anything after a
?), the campaign tags in the link if there are any (utm_sourceand the like), your browser, system and kind of device, your time zone, your language setting, your screen width, and which installer you downloaded. - How visits are told apart: a code made from your IP address, your browser's name string and a random value that is thrown away at the end of each day. The code can't be turned back into your IP address, and the same person on two different days can't be linked.
- How long: visits are deleted after 400 days. Download counts are kept.
- Who sees it: only the site's admins. It's never sold or shared, and there are no ads or outside trackers.
Visitors don't have accounts. The only accounts are for the site's admins.
Children
Mortiflix isn't made for anyone under 16.
