Security
Where things stay
Varven runs on your own hardware, and stays there by default — no account needed. If you sign in, Varven can also save your usage history so it's there across sessions; that's the only thing that leaves your computer.
Folder access
When you give a project access to a folder, that access is explicit, and you can revoke it. Nothing is read or written without it.
Secret screening
Before a model sees a folder's contents, Varven automatically screens for things like API keys and passwords and redacts them. You'll see a count if anything was caught.
Optional sign-in
Never required to use Varven. If you sign in, it syncs your own chats, projects, and runs, and contributes anonymous usage patterns to help guide development — none of it personal information.
