On-Device AI & Privacy

Noteable's core promise is simple: your thoughts never leave your device. Here's exactly how that works.

The local AI model

Noteable uses a quantised 7B parameter language model that runs entirely in RAM. It's optimised for note-taking tasks — summarisation, connection-finding, and Q&A — and requires no internet connection after the initial download.

What data is stored?

  • Notes are stored in an encrypted SQLite database on your device
  • Voice recordings are transcribed locally and the audio is discarded
  • Search embeddings are computed locally and stored alongside your notes
  • No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports are sent anywhere
!
Warning

Noteable does not have a recovery mechanism for lost encryption keys. Back up your vault regularly.

Encryption

Your note vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The encryption key is derived from your device's secure enclave and never stored in plaintext.
