Question 1

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you told Kairnet to put it. Tasks go in tasks/, docs go in docs/, and the local config plus the SQLite cache sit in .kairnet/. Nothing leaves the folder.

Question 2

Is there any telemetry or analytics?

Accepted Answer

No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports. The only network call is the update check, which hits https://releases.kairnet.app/latest.json. That only fires if you trigger it from the menu or turn on 'Check on launch' in Settings > Updates.

Question 3

Can I sync my project between machines?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Point both machines at the same folder via Dropbox, iCloud Drive, git, Syncthing, or whatever you already pay for. Tasks are Markdown, so the sync tool just sees text files. If the SQLite index gets confused after a merge, it rebuilds itself on next launch. Don't run two instances of the app against the same folder at the same time, though. They will fight.

Question 4

Can I edit task files in another editor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There's a file watcher that picks up external edits in about 200ms and reindexes. The frontmatter is normal YAML, so anything you add by hand stays put the next time the app saves the file.

Question 5

What if I delete the SQLite index?

Accepted Answer

It rebuilds itself from the Markdown files on next launch. Nothing is lost. The index is just a cache for fast search.

Question 6

Is real-time collaboration coming?

Accepted Answer

Probably, eventually, and only if you turn it on. The plan is to ship sync and multi-user as a separate plugin: not in the core app, not on by default, not something you can't uninstall. Solo and offline stays the default forever. No ETA.

Question 7

Will I be able to run my own Kairnet server?

Accepted Answer

That's the plan. A self-host option will let small teams run the sync side on their own box: a spare laptop, a homelab, a VPS, the office NAS, whatever. There won't be a Kairnet cloud you have to pay for, and there won't be a per-seat licence on the sync side. If you want a server, you run it.
