Frequently Asked Questions

Is it private?

Yes. Everything you write is stored only in your browser (IndexedDB, via PGlite) and is never sent to a server. Sophia does send a few content-free usage signals so we can see what to fix; the privacy page lists exactly what.

Do I need an account?

No. There are no accounts or logins. Open Sophia and start writing.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once it has loaded, Sophia works offline as a Progressive Web App, including in airplane mode.
