● v1.6.0 · Local-first · Offline · AES-256 encrypted · No account required

The everything workspace that cannot see your data.

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.

No telemetry. No cloud. No tracking. Every byte stays on your device — or under your key. Encrypted at rest, works offline, self-updates from voltifyagency.com/bedrock. Yours forever.

What it is

Documents

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.

Tasks

Subtasks, dependencies, priorities, due dates, checklists and completions with timestamps. Boards and lists from the same data. Monthly archiving built in.

AI Agents — the 1.5 headline

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.

Projects + Executive dashboard

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.

Databases

Custom tables, templates and views with CSV/SQL import-export, calendar view and relations. CRM, content calendars, inventories — local, no setup.

Calendar

Day, week, month and agenda views. Events stay local; invitations export as standard .ics files.

Chat

Channels, threads, reactions, replies, edit/delete. Encrypted at rest with your passcode (AES-256-GCM). Team channels connect your people.

Files

Store, preview and search any file. HTML/SVG never render inline, downloads are forced attachments — XSS-hardened. A private vault on your disk.

People + Teams

Contacts build themselves from your content. Create teams, invite by email, manage rosters. Owner/admin/member roles; shared workspaces on Team plan.

Analytics

Velocity, cycle time, completion rates and Chart.js dashboards — computed on your device from your own data. No telemetry.

Universal search

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.

Workspace templates

6 one-click workspaces: Startup, Agency, Consulting, Real Estate, Law Firm, SaaS — each with pre-built docs, tasks, projects and agents.

Diagrams + Diary

Mermaid flowcharts, sequence diagrams and mind maps rendered locally — no uploads. Plus a private daily diary, encrypted like everything else.

Aquiles AI — respects you

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.

Privacy is the architecture

Local by default

Documents, tasks, files, chats — stored on your device, zero uploads required. Works 100% offline. No account, no cloud, no tracking pixels.

Encrypted at rest

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.

Cloud only when you choose

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.

Platforms

Windows — v1.6.0 ready

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).

Installer + portableReady

macOS + Linux

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.

StatusBuild from source

Android + PWA

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.

Teams + storage that respects you

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.

Under the hood — what Bedrock actually is

Python desktop app

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.

Self-updating

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.

Money + automation

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.

Build guide

Frequently asked questions

Is Bedrock a good Notion alternative?

Yes — 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.

Does Bedrock work offline?

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.

Where is my data stored?

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.

Is Bedrock really free?

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.

Does Bedrock train AI on my data?

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.

Can I export everything out of Bedrock?

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.

Does Bedrock have real-time collaboration?

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.

Is there an enterprise or self-hosted option?

Yes — Voltify offers an enterprise deployment service that installs Bedrock inside your own AWS environment, plus the desktop app is self-contained by design.
