Open Adaptive Switch (iOS app). Last updated 8 July 2026.
Open Adaptive Switch is a free, open-source app that configures a do-it-yourself Bluetooth accessibility switch. The short version: the app does not collect, store, or share any personal information about you.
The app has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. It does not gather your name, contacts, location, usage data, or any other personal information, and it does not contain any third-party analytics or advertising software.
The app uses Bluetooth only to communicate with your own switch: to read its settings and battery level, change its configuration, and install firmware updates. This communication stays between your device and your switch. No Bluetooth data is sent anywhere else, and iOS asks your permission before the app uses Bluetooth.
The app makes one kind of internet request: it contacts GitHub (github.com) to check for and download firmware updates for your switch. These are ordinary web requests that do not include any personal information from the app. As with any web request, GitHub receives your device's IP address and handles it under GitHub's own privacy statement. You can turn off automatic update checks in the app's settings, in which case it makes no network requests until you ask it to.
Preferences such as the color you choose to represent each switch, and the firmware version a switch previously ran, are stored locally on your device only. They are not transmitted and are removed if you delete the app.
This app is intended to help set up assistive technology, including for children with disabilities. It collects no information from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address, with a new date above.
Questions can be raised on the project's GitHub repository.
