Private beta

Your files and choices

SourceRush's customer Beta profile is local to your Windows user. The pilot does not require an account, payment, license key or analytics consent for its free local core.

Where your data goes

The Beta catalog, settings and optional protected credentials are under %LOCALAPPDATA%\SourceRushCustomer\beta. Acquired media stays in the destination you choose. Source searches and acquisitions contact the public source you choose; those services have their own behavior and may fail or change. SourceRush does not import another edition's catalog or your personal files automatically.

Optional usage reporting

Usage reporting is off by default. If you enable it in Settings, SourceRush sends a limited set of categorical product events and a random installation ID stored in this Beta profile to the existing PostHog US project. It does not send full search text, private media or full filenames as analytics properties. PostHog may process your connection IP before discarding it from saved events. Turning reporting off stops construction of future events and removes the local analytics ID. Beta participation does not turn reporting on.

Diagnostics and support

Export a redacted diagnostic report writes a JSON file locally. It is not uploaded automatically. Review it before voluntarily sending it to SourceRush support or replying to your private invitation. By default, do not send passwords, cookies, license keys, private URLs, complete settings/catalogs or private media. A public or synthetic example is usually enough to begin troubleshooting.

Messages sent to the SourceRush support, feedback and Beta email addresses are forwarded through Cloudflare Email Routing to a dedicated Gmail inbox for replies. Keep your participant contact identity in that private support channel, separate from optional product analytics. The pilot asks for feedback about installation and real work; you may stop participation or skip a question. No testimonial or public review is required.

Recruitment through Reddit

The Beta volunteer link opens a public Reddit thread posted by SourceRush's owner/developer from a personal account. Reddit is a separate service with its own account and privacy terms. A public reply can be read by others; share only a broad use case and Windows availability. Do not post private projects, media, credentials or contact details. No Reddit content is imported into SourceRush or sent to product analytics by this site.

Voluntary development support

The optional Buy Me a Coffee page is an external site for the owner's broader independent projects, including SourceRush. Choosing that link leaves this site. It is separate from Beta access and product reporting; its own privacy and payment terms apply. SourceRush does not embed its payment widget or load its scripts on this site.

Backup and leaving

The customer profile backup can include catalog, settings, optional Windows-protected credentials and unfinished review files. Keep that backup private and back up your chosen media separately. The first pilot will observe actual uninstall behavior; do not assume program removal deletes or retains your state/media until it is verified. See the pilot exit guidance or contact support before a guided uninstall.
