Your Code Stays on Your Computer
NORDON was built with one simple rule: your data is yours. We designed the entire system so that your code and context never leave your machine unless you decide otherwise.
Your code stays on your computer
NORDON runs entirely on your machine. All your memories, decisions, and coding context are stored in a local database file. Nothing goes to the cloud. Nothing leaves your computer. It's like keeping a diary that only you can read.
We don't see your data
We have no access to your code, your memories, or your projects. We don't collect usage data. We don't track what you're building. We built NORDON so that your data is yours — completely and permanently.
It catches secrets before they're stored
If your AI assistant encounters API keys, passwords, or tokens during a session, NORDON automatically detects and removes them before storing any memory. Your secrets never end up in memory entries, even by accident.
Sensitive files are automatically ignored
Files like .env, private keys, and credentials files are never read or stored. NORDON has a built-in list of file patterns to ignore, and you can add your own. If a file shouldn't be remembered, it won't be.
Encrypted when stored, encrypted when shared
Your local database can be encrypted at rest. If you choose to share memories with your team, everything is encrypted end-to-end before it leaves your machine. The encryption keys stay with you — we never have them.
You can see everything that happens
Every time NORDON reads, writes, or shares a memory, it's logged. You can review the full audit log anytime. If you need to prove to your security team exactly what NORDON does, the logs have the answer.
Your team sets the rules
With team and enterprise plans, you can create rules about what gets stored, how long it's kept, and who can see it. Rules are enforced locally on every developer's machine — no exceptions.
Built for regulated industries
Because everything runs locally by default, NORDON is a natural fit for teams that need SOC2, GDPR, or HIPAA compliance. Data stays where your compliance team wants it — on your own infrastructure.
