Privacy & Control
MapleOS is designed so helpful automation does not have to mean hidden automation. You decide how much context the system gets, how long it keeps it, and when it is allowed to act.
Trust Mode
Optional. Use it when you want a smoother, more capable assistant experience; leave it off when you want tighter boundaries and more review.
Sealed Memory
Opt-in. Memory can stay sealed by default so conversations remain session-bound until you intentionally preserve what matters.
Access Controls
Explicit permissions define what MapleOS may see, read, or act on across files, apps, and workflows.
Where to manage these settings
A practical way to think about it
Knowledge and memory are not the same thing. Knowledge is a library you intentionally provide for grounding. Memory is a longer-lived layer that should remain your choice.
Access controls add another layer: even when MapleOS can help, that does not mean it should automatically inspect every file, trigger every action, or move through the whole desktop unchecked.
Good defaults
- Start narrow and expand only when a workflow clearly benefits.
- Prefer visible review steps for important actions and edits.
- Keep sensitive work local-first when that matches your environment and risk tolerance.
