Privacy

ChapterDesk is local-first. Your stories and settings stay on your machine.

Local desktop app

• The locally installed app does not collect, track, transmit or monetize any personal data, telemetry or usage metrics.
• All application data, story projects, workspace files and local database records remain stored exclusively on your device.
• Data is stored in SQLite in your user data directory:
  • Linux: ~/.config/ChapterDesk/data/chapterdesk.sqlite
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\ChapterDesk\data\chapterdesk.sqlite

Language models

If you connect to a third-party LLM provider (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint):

• Prompt payload data is transmitted directly from your client to those endpoints when you send a direction.
• Those requests are governed solely by the privacy policies of the respective API providers.
• ChapterDesk does not route your requests through its own intermediary servers.

The full policy lives in the repository at PRIVACY.md.
