Frequently Asked Questions

No. Coplanar is built on top of Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI. It provides the planning workflows, collaboration features, and visual interface, while Claude Code handles AI reasoning and code analysis. Coplanar doesn't include its own code execution engine; it relies on Claude Code, which is built and maintained by Anthropic.

Coplanar launches Claude Code and communicates with it through its standard messaging interface. It doesn't modify, patch, or intercept Claude Code. Claude Code runs in a restricted planning mode, so it can read and understand your code but won't make changes. On top of that, Coplanar adds structured planning workflows, plan management, and a collaborative interface.

You do. Coplanar doesn't provide or manage an Anthropic API key. It uses whatever Claude Code is already configured with on your machine. Coplanar never sees, stores, or transmits your API key.

Yes. When you choose to start implementation, Coplanar opens a standard terminal or command prompt window with Claude Code, the same as if you ran it yourself from the command line. Coplanar doesn't run any other programs, scripts, or background processes through the terminal. It simply resumes your Claude Code session in the project directory you already selected.

Coplanar scopes code analysis to the project directory you choose. Claude Code can only read files inside that folder. Outside of your project, Coplanar accesses its own configuration files and your Claude Code session history so it can sync conversations to your account. It doesn't browse or scan other files on your computer.

No. Coplanar uses Claude Code for code analysis, and Claude Code operates in a restricted planning mode. It can read files and search code, but it can't make changes, execute arbitrary commands, or install software.

No. Coplanar only accepts connections from your own machine. It's not reachable from other devices on your network. Access is further protected by origin checks, rate limiting, and per-session authentication tokens.

Cloud data is encrypted at rest and in transit, passwords are hashed using modern algorithms, and authentication tokens are cryptographically signed. The desktop app communicates locally on your machine and uses per-session tokens to prevent unauthorized access.

Coplanar uses Anthropic's Claude API for AI analysis (via Claude Code on your machine), AWS for cloud hosting and data storage, and Resend for transactional emails. Coplanar does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising services, and your data is never sold or shared for marketing purposes.

Yes. Coplanar Desktop is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple, meaning Apple has scanned it for malicious content. macOS Gatekeeper verifies the signature before allowing the app to run.

Yes. Coplanar Desktop checks for updates periodically and downloads them automatically. Updates are installed the next time you quit and reopen the app. All update packages are signed and verified with SHA-512 checksums before installation.

Coplanar never uploads your source files or project directories. All code analysis happens locally through Claude Code on your machine. When you save a plan, Coplanar stores the plan content and the associated conversation history, which may include code snippets that came up during the discussion. Your actual source files and project tree are not transmitted. As with any use of Claude Code, the CLI communicates with Anthropic's API during analysis; see Anthropic's privacy policy (anthropic.com/privacy) for how they handle that data.

Your account information, saved plans, and the conversation history associated with those plans. Conversation history may include code snippets that came up during planning. Your source files and project directories are never uploaded. As with any Claude Code usage, the CLI communicates with Anthropic's API; that data flow is governed by Anthropic's privacy policy.

When you save a plan, Coplanar uploads the associated Claude Code conversation, including your prompts, Claude's responses, and any code snippets that appeared in the discussion. This is what powers the conversation history you see in the app. Only conversations tied to plans you explicitly save are synced; Coplanar doesn't upload sessions you haven't saved.

No. Coplanar does not use your code or conversations to train any AI model. Claude Code communicates with Anthropic's API during analysis. See Anthropic's privacy policy (anthropic.com/privacy) for how they handle API data.

Yes. You can request full account deletion by emailing support@getcoplanar.com. When your account is deleted, we remove your profile, saved plans, and synced conversation history within 30 days. Anthropic independently manages and deletes API data per their own retention policy.

Low. Coplanar runs locally on your machine and can't be accessed from the network. Code analysis is scoped to the project directory you choose, and only conversation history from plans you save is stored in the cloud. It doesn't include a custom execution engine or run arbitrary programs. All AI-powered analysis flows through Anthropic's Claude Code. The desktop app is Apple-signed and notarized. You get a full-featured planning tool with a minimal security footprint.
