Your notes
Your files never leave this browser. They are read, chunked, embedded and stored on this device, in storage private to this site. The only network request is the one-time download of the bge-small model from Hugging Face, checked by SHA-256.
Reads .md, .markdown, .txt and the
text of .pdf files (with pdf.js, loaded only for folders with

embeds only the chunks that changed. Without semantic search the index is
keywords only and the model is not needed.

prints (or one gen-NNNNNN folder inside it).
