The Zero-Cloud Manifesto
Your data is the new oil. Don’t let cloud providers drill it.
The era of SaaS is ending. The era of Sovereign Software is beginning.
When you use a standard AI tool, your data lives on their server. Your prompts train their models. You are the product.RunShift is built on a "Local-First" architecture.
The Vault is Local
Our `.env` file (the keys to the kingdom) never leaves the host machine. Our memory vectors (the brain) are stored in local SQLite databases, not a cloud vector store.
If the internet goes down, we can still think. If the cloud provider bans us, we still exist. This is what it means to be Sovereign.
