True Local-First Design

Unlike cloud-based solutions, GNO processes everything on your machine:

No Network Required

Once installed, GNO works completely offline:

  • Index documents without internet
  • Search without internet
  • Generate AI answers without internet

Your Data, Your Disk

All data stays in your control:

~/.local/share/gno/
├── default.db      # SQLite database
├── models/         # Local LLM models
└── cache/          # Temporary cache

No Telemetry

GNO collects zero data:

  • No analytics
  • No crash reports
  • No usage tracking
  • No “anonymous” statistics

Verify It Yourself

GNO is open source. Inspect the code:

# Check system status
gno doctor

# See what's stored
gno status

Why Privacy Matters

Your documents contain:

  • Personal notes and journals
  • Confidential work documents
  • Proprietary code and designs
  • Private communications

GNO treats your data with the respect it deserves.
