FAQ
SHORT ANSWERS.
- Does RHEO send my data anywhere?
- By default, no. The update check and currency rates run with no setup. Everything else needs your key, your provider, or something you turned on. See /docs/network.
- Where is my data stored?
- One SQLite database in your data folder. On disk that is three files (database, -wal, -shm). Settings and caches sit beside it. See /docs/data.
- Can I use AI without sending anything off my machine?
- Yes. Pick Ollama or llama.cpp as your provider. Nothing leaves. See /docs/ai.
- What does the AI prompt contain?
- Today's app usage, goals, sleep, planning notes, off-device activity, and — if you connected them — email subjects and calendar items. Finance only if unlocked. See /docs/ai.
- Are there analytics or tracking?
- No analytics SDK, beacon, WebSocket or EventSource in main, preload or renderer. Browser sites are recorded by default — that is your own record, not telemetry.
- Is sync encrypted?
- The sync key has a known weakness (1 byte of entropy). Until it is fixed, docs do not claim encryption. See the launch blockers list.
- Can I turn off auto-update?
- Not yet. It is a packaged-builds-only feature with no off switch. Planned.
Not released yet. v0.2.0, pre-release.
