Your chats are yours.
Plain talk about what stays with you, what we see, and what we never touch.
1) What stays on your computer
Every message you type to Nicanur, every reply it gives back, and every file or photo you attach — all of that lives inside your computer. It never gets sent to us. Your old chats live on your computer too.
2) What our server sees (very little)
- Your account: your email and password — so you can sign in and we know you're you.
- Sync between devices (paid): your chats get locked with a key generated on your computer (AES-256). They pass through us encrypted — we can't read them. To unlock on a second device, you copy a one-time "sync code" from Settings.
- Update checks: Nicanur asks our server "is there a new version?" once in a while.
- Web search (paid): when you ask something that needs the live web, your search passes through our server to a search provider (Tavily), and the results come back to you. We forward the query as-is — we don't store it or tie it to your account, and the provider never gets your identity.
3) What we never do
- We never see what you say to the AI — your chats stay on your computer.
- We never look at the files on your computer.
- We never sell your data. Never have, never will.
4) Free vs paid
Free Nicanur stays on this computer forever — no account needed, no email asked. Pay $5/mo and your chats follow you between devices, still locked with a key only you have, still only readable by you.
5) Bring your own brain
If you already run an AI on your computer (Ollama, LM Studio), Nicanur can talk to it instead. Useful if you want full control over which model answers you.
