Where your data lives
Know what stays on your machine, what goes out and to whom, who can open your notebook, and where keys are kept.
On this page
Everything Godspeed knows sits in one folder on your own computer or your server: your mission control folder. There is no Godspeed sign-up, and Godspeed keeps no copy of your data anywhere else.
Your folder and your notebook
#The folder holds what you told Godspeed, its rules and skills, your goals and your notes, as plain text files. Folders and files shows where it is and what is in it.
The notebook is the web page that shows this folder. Each note, person or fact in it is a readable file in notebook/ inside your folder.
What leaves your machine
#- Your AI account gets your messages and whatever Godspeed reads to answer them, such as notes, files and emails. The routines use it too. You choose the company and pay it directly.
- Services you switch on get what their job needs. Telegram carries your chats on the one-line server. GitHub sync copies your notes and text files to your private repository. A search-by-meaning service gets your notes, unless it runs on your own computer.
- Public web pages are read when Godspeed researches your goals or looks something up.
The installers send nothing about you or your install. Outside services lists every service and what it gets.
An example
#You type "make a note: dentist on Thursday at 10" in the notebook's chat. Godspeed sends your message to your AI account, which tells it what to save. The note becomes a file in notebook/. If you connected GitHub sync, that file reaches your private repository within a minute. No one else gets it.
Who can open your notebook
#- On your own computer, only that computer can reach it, at
http:/. It asks for no sign-in, so anyone using your computer can open it./ 127.0.0.1:47831 - On a server, it has an
https:/address with a username and password./ - Other AI apps get in only with a key from Settings, Connect other assistants. The boxes on each key decide what it may touch.
AI Visibility, under Settings, Privacy, suggestions and notifications, keeps chosen notes out of the AI's way while your own search still finds them. It is not a lock: the file stays in your folder, where Godspeed can open it.
Where keys are kept
#Keys and passwords stay on the machine where you entered them. Sync never sends them to GitHub, and backups leave them out.
- Your AI sign-in is kept by Hermes: on Windows in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\(Godspeed Mission Control State\ hermes-profile Godspeed Mission Control Full Alpha Stateif you installed before 2.0.0-beta.11), on a Mac or Linux in~/..hermes - A key typed into Settings, Your AI is in
.godspeed/in your folder. When your routines use it, Hermes keeps it too, in itsprovider.json .envfile, or in itsconfig.yamlfor another service. - Your Gmail app password is locked in
.godspeed/in your home folder. On the one-line server, in the assistant's home folder inside the server's data volume.mail/ imap/ - Your server password is stored only as a scrambled check value.
A copy of your whole folder on a USB drive includes .godspeed and any key saved there.
