Privacy
Private work needs clear, boring promises.
Onnoir's privacy model is practical: keep the notebook vault local, avoid account requirements, make network behavior explicit, and give you backups plus Markdown export.
Vault
Your library starts local.
Onnoir stores notebook content in an encrypted vault on your device. The beta does not require an account and does not host your writing on Onnoir servers.
Access
Your passphrase and recovery key matter.
The desktop app uses your passphrase and a local recovery-key flow for access. Keep both somewhere safe; Onnoir cannot reset them through an account.
Network
No silent sync.
The beta is built for offline use. Manual update checks and website download redirects are separate from your notebook vault. Future services such as Sync or Publish will be opt-in.
Diagnostics
Local unless you opt in.
Onnoir creates limited local diagnostic logs on your device. If you opt in to anonymous beta diagnostics, the public beta may send limited app-health details without notebook text, file names, paths, passphrases, recovery keys, or vault identifiers.
Portability
Keep a copy outside the app.
Export Markdown for readable files and create encrypted .onbk backups before beta updates. Portability is part of the workflow, not an emergency feature.
Download the public beta.
Available for macOS and Windows. Before each beta update, create and verify an encrypted .onbk backup.
