Principle
Privacy
Privacy-first, without pretending the desktop is risk-free
Astronox is designed to keep more of the workflow on your machine, make provider boundaries explicit, and keep risky actions observable instead of hidden behind blind automation.

Principle
Cloud requests go directly to the provider you selected
Principle
Many actions still execute on-device even when a cloud model is used
Principle
Safety modes and explicit confirmations stay in the loop for higher-risk actions
Local By Default
Sensitive work can stay closer to the machine
Local models, local files, local monitoring, and on-device tools all reduce how much of the workflow needs to leave your system. That does not eliminate responsibility, but it gives you stronger control.
Cloud Boundaries
When cloud models are used, Astronox keeps the boundary visible
Provider-bound requests go directly to the selected provider. Astronox still performs many actions locally, but your provider's own privacy terms still matter whenever cloud inference is part of the path.
