What privacy-first means here
Local processing, local storage, server-assisted features, telemetry, and accounts: the exact boundaries, product by product.
Privacy-first is the most abused phrase in software marketing, so this studio owes you a precise definition. Here is what the words mean at OneKapisch, term by term, with the actual products as evidence.
Local processing
Work happens on your machine wherever the job allows it. Minimizer manages your windows with no network access. LUMEL adjusts your display locally. Easy Write is built for on-device writing assistance. When a task runs on-device, that content does not need to be sent to OneKapisch to perform the task.
Local storage
Your data lives where you can see it. Tokens 4 Breakfast keeps your usage history on your Mac. It does not sync it to a OneKapisch backend, because there is no OneKapisch backend for usage data. Where an app stores history locally, that data stays under the product's documented local-storage boundary.
Server-assisted features
Some features honestly need a network, and pretending otherwise would be a lie. Tokens 4 Breakfast refreshes live provider limits from provider services. SkyLocation can fetch optional interactive map tiles, while its core GPS position works with no connection. The rule is not "never online." The rule is that the published boundary names both behaviors.
Telemetry and diagnostics
Several OneKapisch products use no telemetry. Minimizer ships with none. Chime works locally but can create a user-triggered diagnostics file that may contain visible prompt or reply text; it must be reviewed before sharing. Analytics, diagnostics, and server-assisted behavior need product-specific wording.
Accounts
An account is a door we would have to guard forever. Most published OneKapisch tools need no studio account. If a future product genuinely needs one, the account should buy you something concrete, and the page should say what.
Boundaries, written down
Published product pages carry verified data-boundary wording where evidence has been cleared. A missing boundary is not a promise of local-only behavior. The claim registry blocks a sentence like "no cloud" for a product that talks to provider services, and it forces the longer, truer sentence instead.
One more thing privacy-first does not mean: it does not mean anti-internet, anti-AI, or anti-business. It means the person who bought the tool is the only customer in the room. Everything else follows from that.
