Sovereign Encrypted Vault
A zero-knowledge encrypted vault on your hardware, under your control — with a sovereign AI assistant that searches, reads, and writes against the vault without ever breaking the seal.
A zero-knowledge encrypted vault on your hardware, under your control — with a sovereign AI assistant that searches, reads, and writes against the vault without ever breaking the seal.
Not another AI chatbot. A sovereign vault built around one structural guarantee: your data is encrypted with keys only you hold — and everything works against that vault without ever breaking the seal.
Your notes are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and keys only you hold. The server stores ciphertext. We cannot read your data even if we wanted to. Auto-lock, trash with restore, encrypted backups, recovery key. This is architecture, not policy.
Chat with your vault. The assistant searches, reads, and writes your notes, runs tools, and streams answers — powered by llama.cpp on your own machine. Built and in pre-release soak. Your words never leave your hardware.
Chat, storage, and plans connect as MCP services — open protocol, swappable, yours. End-to-end encrypted messaging. Client-side encrypted file storage. Plans that stay yours. More services can come; the assistant stays lean.
Any OpenAI-compatible local model, swapped without losing a byte of your data. The model is the voice — your vault is the constant. Confidential-cloud inference arrives later through zero-trust connectors. Never plain cloud APIs.
A progressive web app and local services on your hardware. No cloud required. Full offline capability. Your vault, your machine, your rules.
Every object stored with the hosted Vault API receives a signed proof certificate, verifiable offline against a published public key. Don't trust the service — verify it. No opaque model weights making decisions about your life.
A new approach to personal AI — trustworthy, user-owned, and built around the vault you already have.
| Traditional Approach | KalaBodha | |
|---|---|---|
| Data sovereignty | Cloud-hosted data | Encrypted vault — keys only you hold. |
| Intelligence | Model-centric intelligence | Vault-centric — your notes, your context, your keys |
| Memory | Session-based context | Your vault compounds — notes, chats, plans persist and stay yours |
| Model | Fixed model choice | Any OpenAI-compatible local model. Swappable. |
| Cloud | Required | Optional — local first; confidential cloud later, zero-trust only |
| Offline | Cloud required | Full offline capability with a local model |
| Your data trains their model? | Varies by provider | Never — by architecture. Nothing leaves your machine. |
| Verifiability | Trust the provider | Published proof key + public audit chain. Check it yourself. |
| Cost | Subscription model | Free. Your hardware, your compute. |
The vault is the product. The assistant works against it — on your hardware. Services connect over MCP. Models are interchangeable voices; your data is the constant.
No vapor — every claim below is true of the product as it stands today.
Encrypted vault, local assistant, and connected services — built, tested, and in release-candidate soak.
Public release — then confidential-cloud inference through zero-trust connectors, without surrendering the vault.
More connected services over MCP. The assistant stays lean; the ecosystem grows.
The vault, the local assistant, and the connected services are built and in release-candidate soak. The hosted Vault API is live — its proof key and audit chain are public, so you can verify storage proofs yourself, today, without trusting the server. Public release comes next, and collaborator onboarding opens with it.
When onboarding opens, these are the areas:
Assistant UI, vault hardening, chat experience, mobile web
New connected services over the Model Context Protocol
Model evals, packaging, LM Studio flows, performance on consumer hardware
Prompt-injection defense, zero-knowledge review, protocol scrutiny
Architecture docs, setup guides, API docs, tutorials, onboarding content
Interface design for everyday people, onboarding flow, brand
Until then: request early access or read the whitepaper.
Non-negotiable. Structural, not policy.
KalaBodha is in pre-launch soak. Here is what you can do today:
The Vault API publishes its signing key and its audit chain. Check them yourself — no account needed.
