Privacy by Design: How Meos Keeps Your Data on Your Device

In most apps, information is dispersed to cloud servers. Meos takes a different route: all data lives on your phone, and your web app simply streams a live, encrypted view—without storing anything locally.

1. True Local Storage on Mobile

  • All read/write operations occur on your device’s filesystem.

  • No background sync to any server—your phone is the single source of truth.

2. Desktop as a Thin Client

  • When you open Meos Web, it initiates an end‑to‑end encrypted P2P session with your phone.

  • Desktop fetches note data in real time.

  • All rendering, searching, and indexing happens in the desktop app’s memory—nothing is ever written to disk.

3. Cloud AI with Zero‑Retention Guarantees

  • Meos is e2e encrypted & never stores data server‑side.

  • We do not log any of your data.

  • Returned completions are processed ephemerally in memory and immediately discarded—zero persistence of prompts, embeddings, metadata, or outputs.

4. Security and Control

  • Encryption secures the P2P data channel.

  • You explicitly authorize each device pairing with a QR‑code handshake—no accidental link-ups.

Privacy shouldn’t be a trade‑off for intelligence. With Meos, you enjoy powerful, AI‑enhanced knowledge management without surrendering ownership of your knowledge. Your data lives where it belongs—locked in your device, and revealed only when you choose. Start thinking freely again; Meos has your back.
