Does LifeDash require an account?
No LifeDash account is required for the local desktop workflow. An account is relevant only for optional services such as sync or the web dashboard.
LifeDash keeps the core meeting workspace on your machine and makes external processing an explicit, task-level decision.
The default is local. The exception is a service you deliberately enable or a cloud-backed task you deliberately run.
| DATA | DEFAULT | USER CONTROL |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting audio | Processed and stored locally by default | No cloud upload is required for local recording and transcription |
| Transcripts and briefs | Stored in the local workspace | A selected cloud model receives only the content needed for that chosen task |
| Embeddings and search | Local embeddings and semantic search are supported | A cloud embedding provider is used only when explicitly configured |
| Digital Twin memory | Stored locally with source-session provenance | Learning can be paused and individual facts can be forgotten |
| Workspace sync | Off unless the user enables it | Optional sync is separate from the local desktop workflow |
| Provider credentials | Kept through operating-system-level secure storage | Credentials are used only for providers the user configures |
No LifeDash account is required for the local desktop workflow. An account is relevant only for optional services such as sync or the web dashboard.
Local recording and transcription do not require a meeting bot or a cloud audio upload. A cloud provider receives content only when you explicitly choose a cloud-backed task that needs it.
Yes. The built-in local AI runtime runs models on your device with no second app, no API key, and no account required. LM Studio, Ollama, and cloud providers remain fully supported per task if you prefer them.
Deletion is proof of local control: removing a meeting deletes the facts it taught your Digital Twin and removes the recording file from disk. A pre-delete dialog shows exactly what will be removed before anything is confirmed.
