FAQ
Does Freeleapp send my data anywhere?
Section titled “Does Freeleapp send my data anywhere?”No. Freeleapp has no backend and no telemetry. It talks only to your cloud and identity providers, and to GitHub to check for updates. Everything else stays encrypted on your Mac. See the security overview.
Is there a paid version?
Section titled “Is there a paid version?”No. Freeleapp has a single edition with every feature. The Pro and Team tiers of Leapp were discontinued when Noovolari shut down and are not part of Freeleapp.

Section titled “Can I log in with my default browser instead of a built-in window?”For AWS IAM Identity Center, yes: set Auth. Method to In-browser. SAML federated sessions still use a built-in window.
How do I find Freeleapp’s secrets in the keychain?
Section titled “How do I find Freeleapp’s secrets in the keychain?”Open Keychain Access and search for Freeleapp: every item uses that service name. Items still named Leapp come from Leapp and are copied the first time Freeleapp needs them. The account field describes each secret. See System vault.
