what it does

The user-facing part.

Your research belongs on your machine. Uoink uses a local-first architecture where transcripts, databases, and configuration files live on your computer. The helper runs on localhost, and your files write to your local drive. You can browse, edit, and back up your library without depending on external web platforms.

behind the scenes

How Uoink handles it.

The desktop helper runs an internal server that reads and writes files on your storage drive. It logs transactions in a local SQLite file. The browser extension speaks to this helper via a loopback port. No external tracking scripts, cloud servers, or remote databases are used, maintaining privacy.
