Network and Privacy

While Vicinae operates fully offline for most features, it includes optional web integrations to enhance functionality. This page details all network activity and privacy considerations.

Network Activity

Vicinae makes network requests in these specific scenarios:

• Favicon loading - When favicon loading is enabled (the default), built-in commands fetch favicons for HTTP URLs to use as icons
• Exchange rates - The calculator may need to fetch exchange rates in order to provide accurate currency conversions. How it's done depends on the configured backend
• Typescript extensions - typescript extensions can make arbitrary network requests. More details about extensions below.
• Raycast compatibility - The Raycast compatbility extension allows to browse the official Raycast store and install extensions published to it.

Typescript Extensions

Extensions built with the React/TypeScript SDK currently run without sandboxing or permission restrictions. They are granted the same level of privilege as the user the Vicinae server is running under.

• Typescript extensions are completely optional—none are installed by default
• Extension runtime support can be disabled entirely at build time
• All extensions require explicit user installation

Data Collection
