Security at Solo IDE
Your code is yours. We built Solo IDE to keep it that way.
Security Philosophy
Local-first
Your code lives on your machine, not our servers
Privacy by design
We minimize data collection, not maximize it
Transparency
We tell you exactly what data goes where
Your control
You decide what's shared, synced, or kept local
Your Code Stays Local
Solo IDE is a desktop app — your projects live on your computer, not in the cloud. Code is NOT uploaded to Solo IDE servers by default. You control what gets synced or shared. Even AI features process locally when possible.
What we DON'T do
- Store your code on our servers
- Train AI models on your code
- Share your code with third parties
- Access your projects without permission
How AI Features Work
AI agents need to see code to help — here's how that works transparently:
When you use AI features
Code context is sent to AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) to generate responses. These providers have their own privacy policies — we use API access that doesn't train on your data.
Bring your own keys
Use your own API keys for full control over your AI provider relationship.
Local models
Support for local and self-hosted models is on our roadmap for maximum privacy.
What's sent to AI
- •The file(s) you're working on
- •Relevant context from your project
- •Your prompts and questions
What's NOT sent
- •Your entire codebase
- •Files you're not actively working with
- •Personal information
