The record stays
close to the work.

Cairn’s beta is local by default. It observes structured lifecycle events and economics without uploading your raw work.

What Cairn keeps local.

01

Raw work stays on your machine.

Prompts, tool responses, transcripts, repositories, and task artifacts are not uploaded by default.

02

Telemetry is structured.

The local ledger records lifecycle events, hashes, routing rationale, token economics, and verification state—not a copy of your codebase.

03

You own the record.

Cairn is designed to keep evidence portable across model providers, interfaces, repositories, and time.

04

Hosted surfaces are explicit.

The current beta runtime works locally. Hosted account and organization surfaces are being built separately and will be opt-in.

Ask before you install.

Email nick@stackswap.ai and we’ll answer plainly.
