Data Sovereignty

With localWiki, you own your data completely. It lives on your devices, in a format you control, with no dependency on our servers.

No Cloud Uploads

localWiki is local first software. Your encrypted SQLite database is stored on your local disk. There is no cloud backup, no server-side copy, and no telemetry that includes content. When you sync with teammates, data travels directly between devices — never through a storage layer we control.

Full Data Portability

You can export your entire workspace at any time:

• Markdown export — Exports all wiki pages as .md files with frontmatter, preserving your folder structure.
• JSON export — Full structured export including page metadata, tags, and workspace configuration.
• Database backup — Copy the encrypted SQLite file directly for archival or migration.

No export limits. No waiting period. No “contact support to download your data.”

Survives localWiki Shutting Down

If localWiki as a company ceases to exist:

• Your app continues to work. It is a local desktop application with no server dependency for core functionality.
• LAN sync continues to work. It is peer-to-peer with zero reliance on our infrastructure.
• Only WAN relay would stop. Your data and local sync are unaffected.

No Vendor Lock-In

Your data is yours. The export formats are open and standard. You can move to another tool at any time with a full copy of everything you have created. We believe that earning your continued use is better than trapping your data.
