A good librarian never tells a soul what you read. That's not a slogan here — it's the architecture.
The short version
Abigail is local-first. The memory she keeps for you lives on your own hardware — never on ours. There's no Abigail account and no Abigail cloud. The only thing this website ever collects is the email you hand us for the waitlist, and only so we can tell you when Abigail opens.
The app (Abigail on your machine)
Everything Abigail remembers is stored on your device. We don't receive it, see it, or back it up.
There is no account to create and nothing to log in to. Abigail doesn't phone home with your notes.
Your conversations still go to your AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the like) exactly as they did before. Abigail is the memory layer beside them, never a middleman that reads or relays your chats.
The app may check for its own software updates. That request carries no memory of yours.
The waitlist (this website)
If you join the waitlist, we store the email address you enter with Resend, the service that sends our mail.
We use it for one thing: to email you when Abigail is ready (and the occasional note about that launch). Nothing else.
We do not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone, and there's no advertising network in the loop.
Want off the list? Reply to any email or write [email protected] and we'll delete you. No questions.
Analytics & cookies
This site sets no tracking cookies. If we measure traffic, it's with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first: aggregate page counts only, no cookies, no cross-site profile of you, no personal data.
Children
Abigail isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Material changes to how we handle the waitlist will also go out by email to the list.
