Why your AI should live on your machine
Local-first isn't nostalgia — it's leverage. And it's yours.
Every prompt you send to a cloud-only assistant is a document you've mailed away. C5 flips the model: the platform lives on your machine, the database is encrypted at rest, and the work continues even with the network cable pulled.
Bring any brain — 14+ cloud providers when you want them, fully local models when you don't — and the data ownership story never changes: it's your vault, and you hold the keys.
“Architecture, not policy, is what keeps a promise.”
