Local-first and privacy
Household data stays household-controlled
The browser connects to the household’s selected Tallystead server. The server, PostgreSQL database, file storage, workers, scheduler, and optional AI runtime remain under household control.
What works without the public internet
With email integrations, local AI, Cloudflare, and repository tooling disabled, the installed ledger, planner, reports, goals, exports, imports, and manual document workflows continue to function over the household network.
Connections are deliberate
Disabled until configured
SMTP notifications, IMAP retrieval, local AI runtimes, and reverse proxies are optional deployment decisions. Each has a defined data path and household-controlled configuration.
What this website collects
This static website includes no analytics, cookies, advertising, newsletter collection, contact form, third-party embed, or connection to a household Tallystead server. Normal hosting infrastructure may process connection metadata such as IP addresses to deliver the site; the final public privacy notice requires legal review before launch.
AI is not the ledger
Optional local AI may extract, suggest, rank, search, or explain. Ledger writes, balances, reserves, and final reconciliation remain deterministic or require confirmation.
