"Client evidence and notes stay on-device, so I can move faster without violating data boundaries."
"I stopped losing context between chat, docs, and files. Everything for a project now opens from one place."
"Two years in, we can still find decisions in seconds because files, notes, and tags live in one structure."

Common questions
Does it work without the internet?
Yes. Ordobase runs fully offline. Internet is only needed for trial activation and periodic license verification, so your daily workflow is never cloud dependent.
I have more than just Markdown notes. Does it handle that?
Yes. Ordobase handles mixed content: Markdown notes, PDFs, images, and files in one searchable system with shared tags, backlinks, and metadata.
How do I make sure I never lose my data?
Your database lives on disk, not in our cloud. Back it up with iCloud, an external drive, WebDAV, Dropbox, or your existing routine.
I'm already on Notion / Obsidian / DEVONthink. Can I move over?
Yes. Import from DEVONthink, Obsidian, and Notion. If you ever leave, export in open formats at any time. Your work stays portable.
What if my laptop gets stolen or someone accesses my machine?
Enable encryption per database with your own passphrase. File contents and metadata become unreadable without that key, including to us.
