Privacy across the Knowledge tools.
What you read, study, and doubt is a map of your mind. Reading histories are among the most-sold datasets there are; this one is unsellable, because it never leaves.
The short version
Every tool on this shelf is one HTML file. It has no account, no sync, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code that opens a network connection. That is not a policy we promise to keep — it is a property of the file, and you can verify it yourself: open the file in a text editor and search it, or open it with the network disconnected and watch it work.
What "no cloud" actually means here
There is no server that holds your knowledge records, because there is no server. Nothing is encrypted-in-transit for the excellent reason that nothing is in transit. There is no breach surface, no retention schedule, no subpoena that could reach your entries, and no acquisition that could change the terms under which they are held.
What we do know
If you buy a knife, Paddle — our merchant of record — processes the payment and knows what a payment processor has to know. We see an order, not a person's habits. The file you download tells us nothing afterwards, ever. This website carries no analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookie banner, and no third-party scripts of any kind.
Getting your things out
Export to CSV from inside any tracker, or simply keep the HTML file — it is plain, readable, and inspectable. No export queue, no waiting for an e-mail, no format only one vendor can read.

Questions people ask
Do the Knowledge tools work offline?
Yes. Each one is a single HTML file with no network code in it. Pull the cable, turn off the wifi, open it on a machine that has never been online — it behaves identically.
Where does my data live?
Inside the file, on your machine. There is no server holding a copy, so there is nothing for us to hand over, lose, or sell.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no login, no e-mail wall, and no sign-up anywhere in the product. We could not identify you if we tried.
What if Offline.Ltd disappears?
Nothing on your machine notices. The file keeps opening and keeps working — that is simply what a file is.
