The company that gave you free search built the most powerful ad-targeting machine in history. The one that promised to connect the world optimized it for outrage — because outrage drives engagement, and engagement drives revenue. The one that gave everyone a voice sold that attention to the highest bidder. These aren't accidents. They're the business model.
Every free product is the same transaction: something useful in exchange for something you didn't know you were selling — your attention, your behavior, your future choices. The product is always "free." The price is always you.
Now AI is doing the same thing — faster and deeper. Your queries train their models. Your thought patterns become datasets. The way you reason, what you struggle with, what you're afraid of — it's all captured. You get a useful tool. They get a map of your mind.
Neuron is a direct rejection of that model. It runs on your machine. Your memory never leaves. I don't sell data, serve ads, or profile you. The only thing I sell is the software — and once you have it, it's yours.
Local first
Your machine. Full stop.
Neuron runs on your hardware. The memory graph, the agent loop, every conversation — none of it leaves your machine. Not to my servers. Not to anyone's.
No training on your data.
Your queries don't improve a model you don't own. Your patterns aren't analyzed to serve you better ads. Your context belongs to you — not a training pipeline.
No ads. Ever.
Not on the free tier. Not on paid. Not in any future version. Ads require surveillance. Surveillance requires your data. I'm not building that.
Nothing to breach.
I can't be hacked for your data because I don't have it. I can't be subpoenaed for your conversations because I've never seen them. I can't expose what I've never held.
The industry remembers you for them.
Neuron remembers you for you.
Local-first isn't a feature. It's a commitment.
