Bedrock combines documents, tasks, AI agents, projects, databases, calendar, chat, files, people, executive dashboard, universal search, templates, analytics, diagrams, diary and Aquiles AI into a single fast desktop app. Notion's breadth, Obsidian's privacy, at half the price. Your data lives on your machine first, encrypted — the cloud is an optional extension you open yourself.
Block-based editor with headings, lists, quotes, code, checklists and images. AI document generation (report, proposal, SOP, summary, briefing, contract, email, plan) with workspace context. Markdown in, JSON out.
Subtasks, dependencies, priorities, due dates, checklists and completions with timestamps. Boards and lists from the same data. Monthly archiving built in.
5 types: Sales, Operations, Executive, Research, Custom. Autonomous execution (gather context → prompt → act: create task/doc/event, send message, tag), schedules, memory, run history + audit trail.
Group docs, tasks, files, events and people around a project. Executive view rolls up active/done/overdue/due-today tasks, projects, 7-day events, people, agents and conversations.
Custom tables, templates and views with CSV/SQL import-export, calendar view and relations. CRM, content calendars, inventories — local, no setup.
Day, week, month and agenda views. Events stay local; invitations export as standard .ics files.
Channels, threads, reactions, replies, edit/delete. Encrypted at rest with your passcode (AES-256-GCM). Team channels connect your people.
Store, preview and search any file. HTML/SVG never render inline, downloads are forced attachments — XSS-hardened. A private vault on your disk.
Contacts build themselves from your content. Create teams, invite by email, manage rosters. Owner/admin/member roles; shared workspaces on Team plan.
Velocity, cycle time, completion rates and Chart.js dashboards — computed on your device from your own data. No telemetry.
One ranked search across docs, tasks, calendar, projects, chat, files, databases, AI, people and diary — title matches rank 10×, with 80-char snippets and Ctrl+K palette.
6 one-click workspaces: Startup, Agency, Consulting, Real Estate, Law Firm, SaaS — each with pre-built docs, tasks, projects and agents.
Mermaid flowcharts, sequence diagrams and mind maps rendered locally — no uploads. Plus a private daily diary, encrypted like everything else.
Bring your own key (OpenAI, Anthropic) or local Ollama — or run on-device with no keys at all. Free: 30 msgs/mo. Pro: unlimited. Webhooks, MCP server + n8n node for automation.
Documents, tasks, files, chats — stored on your device, zero uploads required. Works 100% offline. No account, no cloud, no tracking pixels.
Set a passcode and messages, AI chats and files are sealed with AES-256-GCM. The key never touches disk in the clear — 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations from your passcode.
Turn on sync per data type. Only what you pick leaves your machine — E2E-encrypted, under your key. Local workspace is never capped. Portable USB mode leaves no trace on the host.
Windows 10/11 64-bit. Per-user installer (no admin/UAC) with Start Menu shortcuts + clean uninstall that keeps your data, or portable .exe that runs from any folder/USB. Self-updates every 4h from /bedrock/updates.json (SHA-256 verified).
Same Python app, same data format. Build scripts included (build-mac.sh / build-linux.sh). Native window via pywebview. Data stays local, same AES-256 + offline guarantees.
Android companion via Google Play (versionCode bump per release) + installable offline PWA shell. Export JSON/Markdown + backup on every launch — nothing trapped in a proprietary vault.

Bedrock does not hold your data hostage. Everything lives on your machine first, encrypted — the cloud is an optional extension. Free is local-only; Pro/Lifetime/Team unlock encrypted sync.
Single-file Python server (bedrock_app.py, v1.6.0) + SQLite (bedrock.db). Ships as PyInstaller .exe with UPX. 4 themes, 9 accents + custom, density modes, command palette (Ctrl+K), floating windows.
Checks /bedrock/updates.json every 4h + "Check now". Downloads over HTTPS-only, verifies SHA-256, swaps only after hash matches. Ship via tools/ship_update.py --version X.Y.Z --build --push.
Stripe Checkout (Pro $5 / Team $10 / Lifetime $149) → webhook → licence keys (BDRK-XXXX, SHA-256 at rest). Webhooks, MCP server, n8n node, REST API, CSV/SQL import-export. Hardened: upload XSS sanitized, CSRF origin-checked, per-IP rate limits.
An honest feature matrix — what Bedrock wins on today, and what is still on the roadmap.
See the comparisonTactile Local Power: instantaneous by default, invisible chrome, structured yet unlocked.
Read the positioningBedrock deployed inside your own AWS environment — VPC isolation, KMS encryption, your compliance scope.
Enterprise optionsOne click, no admin. Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts, proper uninstall entry — your data is never touched on uninstall.
Download installerRun from a folder or USB (under 25 MB — small enough to email). Portable mode leaves no trace on the host; data lives in a data/ folder next to it.
Build from source with the included scripts on each system. Same app, same data, same privacy.
Build guideYes — if speed and data ownership matter to you. Bedrock covers the same core workflow (documents, tasks, databases, calendar, chat) but runs entirely on your machine with local SQLite, so pages open instantly and work offline. See the full Bedrock vs Notion comparison.
Fully. Bedrock is local-first: every feature — documents, tasks, databases, AI with a local model — works with no internet connection. Cloud sync is optional, never required.
On your device, in a single SQLite database you can copy, back up, or move to a USB drive. With a passcode set, messages, AI chats and files are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
Yes. The free tier includes unlimited documents and tasks, 3 databases, and Aquiles AI. Pro ($5/mo) removes limits and adds cloud sync and version history; Lifetime is $149 once; Team is $10/member.
No. Aquiles AI runs on a local model by default (via Ollama) or on a key you bring yourself. Your documents are never sent to us — there is no server to send them to unless you switch cloud sync on.
Anytime, one click: Markdown for documents, JSON for the full workspace, CSV for databases. Your data is yours — Bedrock is designed so you can leave.
Not yet. Shared team documents and chat exist today; live multiplayer cursors and CRDT-based co-editing are on the roadmap. We keep the comparison page honest about what is NOW vs ROADMAP.
Yes — Voltify offers an enterprise deployment service that installs Bedrock inside your own AWS environment, plus the desktop app is self-contained by design.
