Knightbook involves four separate things: this website, the desktop app, the AI tool you connect to it, and the places you can ask for help. Each handles data differently, so each has its own section.
This website
The website is hosted on GitHub Pages, and installers are downloaded from GitHub Releases. GitHub logs the IP address of every visitor to the website and of every download, for security purposes. What GitHub keeps and for how long is set byGitHub's privacy statement.
The website itself runs no analytics or tracking script, sets no cookies, and loads nothing from other sites: its pages are plain HTML, CSS and images served by GitHub Pages.
The desktop app
Your projects stay in the folders you choose. Knightbook keeps its tickets, plans and review records in a .projectspace folder inside each project, beside your own files. On your computer it also keeps its settings, the list of recent projects, the window's size and position, and which projects you allowed AI access to.
The app's own code makes no network requests: it sends nothing about you or your projects anywhere, has no account, and checks for no updates. Images in documents are shown only from inside the project, never from the internet. A web link in a document opens in your browser only when you click it.
The app is built on Electron, which includes a spell checker. According to Electron's documentation, on Windows and Linux it downloads spell-check dictionaries from Google's servers by default. We have not measured whether Knightbook does this.
The AI tool you connect
Knightbook does not include an AI assistant. When you connect an AI tool, it reads and changes the projects you allowed through Knightbook's connection, which runs on your computer. What that tool, and the AI provider behind it, then send, keep or use is up to them and their terms, not Knightbook. Read their privacy terms before allowing a project with private content.
Getting help
Support is throughGitHub Issues. Everything in an issue, including your GitHub username, is public and handled by GitHub under its privacy statement. Leave out private project content, credentials and unredacted logs.
A security problem is reported privately through GitHub instead. Only you and the maintainer can read a private report, and it is made public only once a fix is out, if at all.
