Local-First and Private Mode
Chameleon supports local-first workflows. The goal is to keep sensitive files and workspace data on your device wherever possible, sending only approved content for cloud analysis when you choose to.
Local-first means the default assumption is that your data stays on your device. Cloud analysis is opt-in per session, per document, and per prompt — never automatic. You choose what leaves your device and when.

Desktop App and Local Gateway
The desktop connector extends local-first capabilities beyond the browser.
Secure device activation
Desktop clients activate with short-lived tokens — not master keys.
Local file processing
Files can be previewed and partially processed without leaving the device.
Token refresh
Sessions stay active without re-authentication using secure token refresh.
Device revocation
Devices can be revoked from the platform, immediately terminating their access.
