Security and Privacy
Your data stays yours. Period.
AgentVibe is designed so your information never leaves your control. Your agents run on your machine, your conversations stay local, and your API keys are encrypted and never shared.
What AgentVibe Does Automatically
You do not need to configure anything. These protections are built in from the start:
Every agent runs in its own private container, completely separated from other agents and from the rest of your computer.
Your API keys are encrypted on your machine. They are only sent to the AI provider they belong to -- nowhere else.
Each agent gets a randomly assigned port number, making it harder for anything on your network to find and connect to your agents uninvited.
Autopilot continuously checks every agent for security issues and alerts you if anything needs attention.
No Setup Needed
Security is on by default. When you deploy an agent, AgentVibe automatically:
- Puts it in an isolated container
- Encrypts any credentials
- Assigns a random port
- Enables workspace restrictions so the agent only sees its own files
- Requires authentication for any connections
You do not need to think about any of this. It just works.
Security Dashboard
Want to see the details? Open Autopilot in the settings view. You will see a clear breakdown of each agent's security status:
- Green means healthy -- no issues found
- Yellow means there is a suggestion for improvement
- Red means something needs your attention
Each issue comes with a plain-language explanation and a recommended fix.
One-Click Fixes
For safe improvements, just click Fix Safe Issues on the Autopilot page. AgentVibe will automatically tighten up any loose settings. It only makes changes that are safe and reversible -- it never touches your data, your models, or your API keys.
For Advanced Users: Security Profiles
AgentVibe offers two security profiles:
The default for most people. Strong security with smart defaults. Protections include:
- Workspace sandboxing
- Authentication required for all connections
- Channel access controls
- Threat scanning enabled
Findings are reported as warnings so you can address them at your own pace.
Most people never need to change the default Balanced profile. It provides strong protection right out of the box.
What Stays on Your Machine
| Data | Where It Lives |
|---|---|
| Conversations | Stored locally on your computer |
| API keys | Encrypted on your computer |
| Agent files | In local containers on your computer |
| Parrot memory | Stored locally on your computer |
| Settings | Stored locally on your computer |
The only data that leaves your machine is what you send to your chosen AI provider (like OpenAI or Anthropic) when your agent processes a message. If you use Ollama for local models, nothing leaves your machine at all.
AgentVibe does not collect telemetry, track usage, or phone home. The app runs entirely on your computer.
