Governance
Your data, on your disk
Local-first is not a feature here; it's the foundation. Your archive lives on your disk in open, inspectable formats, with no account standing between you and your own knowledge.
Problem
Why it matters
A memory you rent from a platform isn't yours. If a service can change its terms, raise its price, or disappear, then so can your memory.
Capabilities
What Nolocron provides
- Each vault is a local SQLite database; no required cloud account to use it.
- Resources are stored content-addressed (res://{sha256}), deduplicated and verifiable.
- Your vault's data directory is yours to relocate — external drive, custom path, your call.
- Open formats throughout, readable with everyday tools.
Workflow
How it works
- Create a vault; it lives on your disk.
- Import your sources into it.
- Back it up, move it, or copy it like any other files.
- Open the underlying SQLite or files directly whenever you want.
Evidence
Product proof points
- No required cloud — custody is the default, not an upgrade.
- Standard SQLite and ordinary files outlive any one app.
- Canonical source and derived data are kept distinct.
