Local-first by design
Your work stays
on your machine.
Rabta captures and restores the state of a coding task without a cloud, an account, or telemetry. The desktop app and its connector extensions run locally.

01
What the Chrome extension accesses
Rabta requests only the permissions required to capture and restore a task's browser context.
02
Where that data goes
Only to the Rabta desktop app running on the same computer, over an authenticated local connection at 127.0.0.1. You explicitly approve that connection in Rabta the first time the extension pairs.
Tab data and the pairing token are never sent to Rabta, a third party, or any remote server.
03
What Rabta never does
- No remote servers or cloud sync.
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No analytics, tracking, telemetry, or advertising.
- No selling, sharing, or transferring your data.
- No background capture while Rabta is disconnected.
04
Your data and control
Capsules are stored locally by the Rabta desktop app, under your control. Nothing is captured until you save a capsule. Deleting a capsule removes its stored workspace snapshot.
You can reveal Rabta's data folder at any time from Settings → Privacy & data → Reveal in Finder. Uninstalling the extension removes its local extension data.
