Caskit is a desktop application that runs entirely on your computer. It has no servers of its own, no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry. The developer receives no data from the app.
- Saved sign-ins (Steam refresh tokens), maFile secrets, proxies, settings and transfer rules are stored only in the app's data folder:
%APPDATA%\Caskit(Windows),~/Library/Application Support/Caskit(macOS),~/.config/Caskit(Linux). - Secrets are encrypted with the operating system's facilities (Windows DPAPI, macOS Keychain, libsecret on Linux).
- Your Steam password is never stored.
- Exports (JSON/CSV) are written to
Documents/Caskitonly when you press Export. - The portfolio history (one value snapshot per account per day, used for the value chart) is stored in
portfolio.jsonin the same data folder.
Caskit connects only to the following services:
| When | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| When you sign in to a Steam account, and while it stays signed in | Steam (Steam network, steamcommunity.com, api.steampowered.com, the CS2 Game Coordinator) |
everything the app does with your account: inventory, storage units, store, trades, market, confirmations |
| While the app shows items | Steam's image CDNs (community.akamai.steamstatic.com, cdn.steamstatic.com) |
item, sticker and store icons |
| Every 3 minutes, for saved accounts that have a proxy | api.steampowered.com, through that proxy |
checking that the proxy still works |
| At start-up | GitHub (github.com, api.github.com) |
checking for a new version of Caskit |
| Every 12 hours, if prices are on (Settings → Prices and value) | the selected price source: prices.csgotrader.app (Steam and Buff163 prices, exchange rates) or api.skinport.com |
public price lists for the value of your items; your inventory is not sent |
| Once a day | raw.githubusercontent.com (this repository, GameTracking-CS2, counter-strike-image-tracker) |
item names and icons, the store catalog and the list of donation options |
- No account data, identifiers or usage statistics are sent to GitHub, the price sources or anyone else; these requests download public files only.
- If an account has a proxy, all of that account's traffic (including the QR code, web requests and avatar) goes through the proxy.
- Links such as Ko-fi, GitHub or the Steam Community Market open in your browser only when you click them.
Uninstall the app and delete the data folder listed above. See Uninstall.
