The philosophy / Long-term vision

your notes.
your rules.

Your knowledge should outlive any one app.

Ovria is being built around durable ownership. Your notes should move with you across devices, across providers and onto hardware you control. You choose the setup. You keep a way out.

The big picture

One vault. Your choice of connections.

This is our long-term direction. Ovria is in development; the devices and options shown here are not all available today.

Your devices

Desktop
Phone & tablet
Browser

Local copies of your vault. Encrypted by default.

Optional encrypted sync

One shared Ovria protocol

Managed cloud

A provider you choose

Cloudflare
Other future adapters

Self-hosted

Hardware you control

Docker
NAS · server · VM
Your own deployment

Encrypted sync could connect your devices to the cloud, your own hardware, or both at once. Local use would not require either. These relays store encrypted content without its keys.

Where Celld fits: we are exploring it as a runtime for self-hosted deployments. It is an experimental candidate, not a confirmed integration or a requirement for using Ovria.

Local is the starting point.

Opening your vault, writing, reading and searching should work without a cloud account or an internet connection. The goal is a familiar Ovria experience across desktop, phone, tablet and browser, with room for each device to feel at home.

Infrastructure is a choice.

A managed cloud may be convenient today. A server at home may suit you tomorrow. Different sync deployments should follow the same Ovria rules, so choosing or changing a provider preserves your data, identities and keys. Self-hosting should be a complete option.

Cloud and home can coexist.

The vision includes the same vault synchronizing with independent cloud and NAS destinations together. If one destination is offline, local work and the others should keep going. A NAS-only setup should work on your local network without a cloud account.

Keep a copy you can use.

Encrypted storage remains the default. We also plan an explicit option for a readable, editable workspace on a trusted Mac or NAS: documented formats, accessible attachments and supported local-tool edits that return to Ovria.

An optional, trusted NAS client could maintain that workspace while your other devices are off. It would hold authorized keys and be able to read the content, a separate role from the encrypted relay. Choosing readable files means trusting that host and the people and tools with access to it.

Same ideas. More freedom.
