Product direction
Process with purpose
On-device and offline-capable processing are design priorities where they can meet product-quality requirements. Each supported capability will be documented as it is verified.
Product privacy & security
Privacy should be understandable and practical.
Amanua's local-first direction begins with a simple idea: keep personal recordings, transcripts, and documents close to the user wherever product quality allows, with clear processing boundaries and meaningful control.
A practical local-first approach
Keep work close. Make boundaries clear.
Product direction
Preserve source material
Amanua’s product rules are designed to keep original media, revisions, and receipts distinguishable within governed workflows.
Product direction
Use data deliberately
Names, paths, transcript text, model output, and imported material are treated as sensitive product data—not default telemetry, logs, or external input.
Planned
Make product controls clear
Specific storage, encryption, retention, export, deletion, and platform behaviors will be documented for each qualified build.
Four product principles
Privacy by Design. Confidence Through Control.
Amanua’s approach brings privacy, reliability, and clear product communication together from the start.
Local-first processing
Keeping processing on the user’s device is a current design priority. Offline behavior will be documented for each verified capability.
User control over information
Product rules are designed to preserve source material, make revisions visible, and keep storage, export, and deletion behavior understandable as it is implemented.
Reliability and recovery
Autosave, recovery, controlled revisions, and durable records are active areas of product development.
Transparency and responsible development
Amanua separates active development from planned work and will document privacy and security behavior as capabilities are verified.
