What will be here

  • Installing, and what the application does on first run.
  • Granting folders, what indexing does, and how to remove an index.
  • Choosing a model for your hardware, and what each choice costs you.
  • Command line reference and local API reference, once those interfaces are stable.
  • Privacy Centre reference, including exactly what each setting changes.

Questions in the meantime are answered in the FAQ.

Prelaunch. The desktop application is in development and the private beta has not opened yet.
