Local-first and privacy

Local-First and Privacy Positioning

Verified Product Characteristic

KazaKit is designed as a local-first desktop application.

Core behavior:

• project data is stored locally;
• the desktop build uses SQLite;
• application-managed files live in local app data;
• core workflows do not require cloud sync;
• core workflows do not require a constant internet connection;
• the macOS build is designed around Tauri and App Store sandbox constraints.

What the Website May Say

Good:

• “Your creative workspace lives on your device.”
• “KazaKit’s core workflow works without cloud dependency.”
• “Projects, notes, tasks, documents, and project media are stored locally.”
• “No cloud sync is required for the core experience.”

Avoid unless separately verified for the website release:

• “End-to-end encrypted”
• “Zero telemetry”
• “Impossible for anyone else to access”
• “Automatic backup”
• “Cross-device sync”
• “Real-time collaboration”
• “Version history for every edit”

Important Browser-Mode Note

The Next.js development UI can render many global screens in a normal browser. Full project persistence and file behavior depend on the Tauri/SQLite desktop environment. The public wiki should document the desktop product, not the limitations of browser development mode.
