Most packages add themselves.
There are three ways a package gets into Porchlight. Two of them need nothing from you after the first setup.
-
Amazon
Sign in to Amazon once inside the Porchlight app on your Mac or iPhone. The app reads Your Orders and adds each shipment with its items, delivery date and tracking number. On a Mac it checks every 30 minutes while the app is running.
If Amazon signs you out or changes its pages, Settings says when the last import failed.
-
Flint
Flint, the mail app, finds tracking numbers in your shipping email. Pair it once with a code from Porchlight's settings, and each new shipping email adds a package.
Flint sends the carrier, the number, the sender's name and the subject line. Nothing else from the email.
-
Paste
Paste a tracking number into the web app or either native app. Porchlight works out the carrier from the number's format, and when two carriers could match, it asks which one.
On iPhone you can also scan the barcode on a label.
Carriers
Porchlight asks each carrier, or a tracking service that covers it, how your package is doing. Packages out for delivery are checked every 15 minutes and packages in transit every hour or two. Every package shows when it was last checked.

What leaves your devices
Porchlight needs your tracking numbers to do its job. It doesn't need your Amazon password or your email.

- Your Amazon password and cookies stay on the Mac or iPhone where you signed in. They are never sent to Porchlight and never synced to your other devices.
- Flint
- Only the numbers and details Flint extracted. Email bodies stay on your Mac.
- Carriers
- A carrier or the tracking service receives the tracking number. Your name and email address are not sent.
- Ads and tracking
- There are no ads. This website counts page views without cookies. The apps don't collect analytics unless you agree to it first.
