Files on your disk
All production data — scripts, characters, prompts, takes — lives as plain files in your workspace folder. The workspace folder is the product.
Your IP never leaves your machine.
This is the compliance story that gets past agency legal — and what makes Genlock usable in professional production, not just hobby projects.
✓
Offline license verification
Ed25519-signed keys are re-verified locally on every boot. Works fully air-gapped — no internet connection required.
✓
Bring your own credentials
You supply generator and LLM API keys. Genlock uses them locally and never forwards them through Genlock servers.
✓
No Genlock cloud
There is no Genlock server that receives your story data. No upload step, and no telemetry on story content.
How it works in practice
Files live on your disk. License keys are verified offline; nothing is sent to a Genlock server. You bring your own generator and LLM credentials, which are used locally only.
For teams, git-native collaboration rides your existing GitHub / GitLab / Gitea credentials — no tokens stored in Genlock Studio — so story data never leaves the team's machines.
