Privacy and your data

Bedrock is local-first and offline-only by design.

• No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry. The app never phones home.
• Your docs are plain files on your disk. Bedrock reads and writes the folder you open and nothing else — access is granted to exactly that folder.
• History and bundles live in a hidden .bedrock/ folder inside the workspace.
• Settings and templates (theme, integrations, keys) are stored locally in the app's configuration directory.

AI and the network

Bedrock itself makes no network calls. Network access happens only when you run a prompt against a target that needs it:

• Claude API / Gemini API call the respective hosted service with the key you provide. The assembled prompt (and any connected docs) is sent there.
• LM Studio stays on your machine (localhost) — fully offline.
• Claude CLI / Claude (Terminal) use your local Claude installation, which does its own authentication and networking.

API keys are stored locally and used only to talk to the service you chose. Always review what a prompt includes before running it against a hosted API.
