In short
Astral has no accounts and no servers that store what you write. Your dreams, your recordings and what you discuss with the assistant stay on your device. Nobody else can read them, not even us.
What is kept, and where
- Your dream journal (what you type or dictate, the date, your notes and tags): in your browser (IndexedDB), on this device only. You can delete it whenever you like.
- Your recordings, if you keep them: also in your browser, next to the dream. The audio is never sent to any server.
- Your preferences: light or dark theme, in your browser's local storage.
- The copies you export (
.astralfiles): you keep them wherever you like. With a password they are encrypted, and without it nobody can open them, not even us. - A dream you share by QR code or link (if you do): you choose what goes (the text, or only the title, the night, the symbols and how you felt). The dream travels inside the link, in the part after
#, which browsers never send to any server; but anyone who has the code or the link can read it. When it opens, the page reads it and removes it from the address bar; it is saved only if that person chooses "Save in my journal".
Dictation and the assistant
- Dictating a dream (if you use it): the microphone is used only while you record, after you turn it on and your browser asks for permission. A speech model (NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3) turns your voice into text on your own device: the audio never leaves it. The text appears in "Review your dream" so you can fix it before saving, and the recording is kept with the dream only if you choose to keep it; it is never included in
.astralcopies. The model (about 670 MB) downloads once from Hugging Face, the first time you agree to use it, and stays in this browser (Cache Storage). You can delete it from the journal. - The assistant: when it becomes available, it will run on a model that works on your own device and downloads only if you agree to use it. We will update this page with every detail before turning it on.
- So the journal works offline, your browser keeps a copy of its pages and the public files it uses (the journal's engine and the dictionary's list of symbols). They carry none of your data.
What we don't do
- We don't use cookies.
- We don't use analytics.
- We don't sell or share data, because we never receive any.
- Your dreams never go into a web address and never leave your device.
