Privacy Guarantee

Local control. Zero surveillance.

Your attention is personal. Nexus Companion runs natively on your machine without routing keystrokes, browser history, or window state to external servers.

Local State Only

Hardware mode detection and profile mapping run entirely on your local machine without mandatory cloud routing.

Native OS Automations

Utilizes native system interfaces and user-defined rules rather than intrusive kernel modifications.

Optional Network Hooks

Only talks to external APIs (e.g. calendar integrations) when explicitly configured and authorized by the user.
