FAQ

Fair questions

Is the open-source version really unlimited?

Yes. The engine is Apache 2.0 and fully self-contained — vaults, search, ACL, git history, audit log. It runs on your machine and never needs an account. The cloud is a backend you can point it at, not a paywall in front of it.

What counts as an audit event?

One operation by an agent: a vault.read, vault.search, vault.write, and so on. Events are content-free — paths, queries, and result counts, never your notes' bodies.

Can I export my hosted vault?

Always. Every hosted vault is its own git repository of markdown files. Your data never stops being yours — on any plan, including Free.

What happens if I hit a Free limit?

Nothing breaks silently: writes beyond the limit are politely refused with a clear error, your existing notes and trail stay intact, and upgrading lifts the limit immediately.
