Verify

Don't take our word for it.

The studio's first principle is that privacy is architecture, not policy. That only works if the architecture is verifiable. This page is how to check that our products do what we say they do — without trusting our marketing copy.

The claim, restated

Both Mirage Atlas and Mirage Lumen run inference on your device. Audio (Lumen), questions and pulls (Atlas), templates, and notes are processed locally. Nothing is sent to a Mirage server while you use the app. The only network calls the apps make are when you choose to download an update or a template pack from us.

How to check it yourself

Pick whichever tool matches the device you're testing on. Each one shows you, at a different layer, what the app is actually doing on the network.

Airplane mode. The simplest test. Launch the app with the phone in airplane mode. If a feature works, it isn't using the network.
Little Snitch (macOS) or LuLu (macOS, free). Mirror your phone or run the app under emulation; both block outbound connections by default and prompt you for each.
Wireshark + a local network bridge. Put your phone on a Wi-Fi network you control; capture all traffic from your phone's IP while you use the app.
mitmproxy. Trust mitmproxy's CA on the device, route through it, and inspect everything the app sends — TLS contents and all.
iOS & Android system tools. On iOS, Settings → Cellular → scroll to per-app data usage. On Android, Settings → Network & internet → Data usage by app. Coarse, but a quick sanity check.

What you should see

No connections to mirageinteractive.uk or product subdomains during normal use.
No connections to plausible.io, cloudflare.com, or any analytics host. Plausible only runs on this website, not in the apps.
No connections to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, or any other model-hosting provider.
If you triggered an update check or a template-pack download, you should see a connection to a CDN we publish to. That's the only outbound traffic we ever ask for.

If you find something we missed

If you ever see a connection that contradicts what's on this page, please tell us at legal@mirageinteractive.uk with the timestamp and the host you observed. We'll investigate and either explain it or fix it. Either way you'll get a written response within a week.

This page applies once a product has shipped — Mirage Atlas in beta, Mirage Lumen at launch. The studio website itself uses Plausible Analytics, documented in the privacy policy.
