Privacy & Security

How Your Data is Protected

HiddenAI takes privacy seriously. Your notes, searches, and AI interactions remain on your device whenever possible. When cloud processing is needed (e.g., for AI features), data is encrypted in transit and never stored permanently.

Security Features:

  • Local Processing: Notes and settings stored locally on your device.
  • Encrypted Communication: All network traffic is encrypted.
  • No Usage Tracking: We don't monitor which windows you hide or what content you view.
  • Optional Cloud Features: AI capabilities require secure cloud processing but use temporary storage only.

Pro Tip: For maximum privacy, use the offline mode for sensitive work sessions where AI assistance isn't needed.

Cross-Platform Plans

Current Status: HiddenAI is in development for Windows, with a beta planned for Q3 2025.

Future Plans:

  • Linux and macOS versions by Q2 2026.
  • Same invisibility and features across platforms.
