Privacy Promise

Hawk-i is local-first and stays that way. There is no telemetry, no cloud requirement, and no phone-home. Ever.

• No telemetry. Hawk-i does not collect or transmit usage data. The hawki metrics command shows statistics that are computed and stored purely on your own machine.
• No cloud requirement. Every capability runs locally. There is no account, no login, and no managed service.
• Your code stays put. Source is analyzed on your machine and never uploaded anywhere.
• Keys you control. If you enable LLM reasoning, your API keys go directly to the provider you chose. Prefer full offline operation? Run a local model through Ollama.
• Ephemeral sandboxes. Docker exploit sandboxes are created for a run and torn down after.
• State you can inspect. Everything Hawk-i remembers lives in plain files under ~/.hawki/ and reports under ./hawki_reports/.
