localWiki
v1.0 • Windows available now

Own your team's brain.
Keep it off the internet.

A local-first, end-to-end encrypted wiki + secrets vault for developer teams. No accounts. No cloud. Just your knowledge, offline by default.

Zero-knowledge by design. We are mathematically incapable of seeing your data.

01
The Problem

The Cloud Tax
Is Real.

Every spinner is your team waiting on someone else’s computer.

Every “quickly drop it in Slack” is another secret living in the open.

Every incident turns “Where’s that doc?” into “Who still has access?”

Cloud tools are rentals. Your knowledge shouldn't be.

localWiki puts your documentation and secrets on your machines. Encrypted, searchable, and fast enough to feel like a local terminal command.

How It Works

Built like security software.

Used like a wiki.

Zero-Knowledge Encryption

Your password never leaves your device.

Keys derived with Argon2id. Data sealed with AES-256-GCM.

We can’t read your vault. By design, not by promise.

Real-Time P2P Sync

Sync directly device-to-device with libp2p + CRDTs.

No central server holding your knowledge hostage.

Work offline for days; merge happens when you reconnect.

Secrets Vault

Secrets are not “notes.” They’re assets.

Per-secret encryption, fast reveal with auto-mask,

and an audit trail so you know what was touched, and when.

Version History

Every change is recoverable.

Visual diffs, one-click restore, and a timeline you can trust.

Documentation with a Git soul. Without the ceremony.

About the Windows Warning

SmartScreen flags new, independent apps before they build reputation. localWiki is self-funded and ships fast, so it may show “unknown publisher.”

What matters: your vault is encrypted with Argon2id + AES-256-GCM, and your data stays on your device. Always.

Trust & Transparency

Built for People Who
Don't “Just Trust It”

localWiki is designed like security software, not a SaaS funnel. No analytics scripts. No trackers. No “sign in to see your own notes.”

It's a vault, with a wiki attached.

What we can prove

AES-256-GCM encryption at rest
Argon2id key derivation
Master password never written to disk (memory only)
Sync is end-to-end encrypted; relays see ciphertext only
Free tier runs fully offline, zero network required
No ads. No data resale. No behavioral telemetry

This is early software. Expect edge-case bugs. But the architecture is the point: privacy isn't a feature, it's the wiring.

Trust the math, not the admin.
