Local-first privacy boundary
RecallBase keeps AI conversation capture and local archive workflows on the user's device by default. Website account, billing, and entitlement endpoints do not need raw conversation text.
What the website receives
The website handles account, subscription, Billing Portal, extension token metadata, and entitlement status. It does not need prompt text, answer text, local file paths, export filenames, raw DOM, cookies, tokens, or sensitive screenshots.
What stays local
Browser captures, local RecallBase archive data, exported files, and native host imports stay in the browser or local CLI workflow unless the user explicitly sends an export to another destination.
Native host boundary
The native host bridges the browser extension to the local CLI database. It is not a cloud upload path.
- 1 Install the CLI.
- 2 Run rb extension install-host.
- 3 Run rb extension verify-host.
- 4 Confirm imports with rb today or rb search.
