Notes

Public notes for decisions that should stay legible.

Oak Keyring notes explain the product judgments behind a local-first password manager: why the vault is local, why sync is bounded, and why recovery and portability are not afterthoughts.

Why Oak Keyring exists Why password management should reduce dependency instead of creating another service users must trust.

Next notes should earn their place

The notes section should grow only when a topic clarifies how the product works or how users should evaluate its boundaries. It is not a placeholder blog, launch diary, or marketing schedule.

Good future topics

  • Recovery as a product boundary: what must be true before a user trusts restore.
  • Sync as transport: what Google Drive can move and what it must never learn.
  • Portability as control: why import and export matter for password ownership.
  • Public security claims: what has to change before stronger claims belong here.
