We use .gguf model files. One portable file on your hardware. No internet, no external servers, no data leaving your machine. Your CPU/GPU and RAM do the work, not a cloud service. You can even see the model file in your app folder if you're curious.
Hope that helps!

On the LLM side, think of it like any other tool in the toolbox. A hammer isn't the problem, it's swinging it at the wrong thing. It's fully optional and off by default. The LLM runs entirely locally on your machine. If you never touch it, it simply isn't there.
Really appreciate you asking this, these are exactly the right questions.
Your work is saved as plain files on your own machine. No proprietary formats, no cloud lock-in. You own your data completely. Export anytime as plaintext, .docx, or .pdf.
Scrivener is complex. MS Word wants a subscription. We just want you to write. 🖊️ Clean UI, Intuitive UX. Privacy-First. No fees, ever. Your words deserve better tools. Coming soon.
