Introduction
Every conversation with AI starts from zero. Your context disappears when the session ends. Your files stay in someone else's server. Your subscription renews every month — for the same limitations.
Upvault changes this. A desktop workspace that stores your conversations, documents, and context in a local vector database — on your machine, synced through your own Google Drive. No monthly fees. No data on our servers. Just AI that actually remembers what you've been working on.

Philosophy
You use AI every day. You ask it questions, draft documents, brainstorm ideas. But every session starts from scratch. The conversation you had yesterday? Gone. The context you carefully built up over an hour? Erased the moment you close the tab.
Meanwhile, your data — every prompt, every file, every thought you shared — lives on someone else's server. And for this, you pay $20 every month.
Your AI workspace should belong to you. Not to a subscription model that resets your context every session. Not to a server farm that stores your conversations indefinitely. To you — on your device, under your control.
We built Upvault around three principles no competitor offers simultaneously:
Memory that persists. A local vector database that remembers your conversations across sessions — so your AI picks up exactly where you left off.
Data you own. Everything stored on your machine. Synced through your own Google Drive — not our servers.
One price, forever. No monthly subscriptions. Pay once, own it for life.
"AI that remembers, organizes, and connects — the workspace that grows with you."
Features
Persistent Context
AI that remembers your last conversation.
Most AI tools reset with every session. Upvault's local vector database retains your conversation history and automatically provides relevant context to new chats. Start a new conversation on Monday, and your AI already knows what you discussed on Friday.
Local RAG
Drop a file. AI understands it instantly.
Upload documents — PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML — and Upvault indexes them locally using a multilingual embedding model. No Docker setup. No server configuration. No API costs for embeddings. Just drag, drop, and ask.
Cross-Device Sync
Start at home. Continue at the office.
Your conversations, documents, and vector database sync across devices through your own Google Drive. Not through our servers — through yours. Among 10 competitors we analyzed, zero offer vector database synchronization.
Bring Your Own Key
Use any AI model. Pay only for what you use.
Connect directly to Claude, GPT, Gemini, and 50+ models through OpenAI-compatible providers. No middleman, no markup, no monthly subscription.
Agents
Purpose-built AI personas for every task.
Create custom agents with specialized prompts, preferred models, and specific capabilities. A coding assistant, a writing editor, a research analyst — each remembering their own context.
MCP Tools
Connect AI to your entire workflow.
Extend your AI with external tools through the Model Context Protocol. File systems, databases, APIs — Upvault supports both stdio and HTTP connections natively.
Workspace
A workspace designed to stay out of your way — and adapt to how you work.

Upvault Server
Your data never touches our servers
Every byte stays on your machine.
All conversations, documents, and vector embeddings are stored locally in SQLite and LanceDB. Nothing is uploaded to Upvault's servers — not your data, not your API keys, not even your usage statistics.
Synchronization through infrastructure you already trust.
Cross-device sync runs through your own Google Drive account. Upvault's server only coordinates device metadata — your actual data flows directly between your devices and your cloud storage.
AES-256-GCM for what matters most.
Sensitive memos are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they touch disk. API keys are stored in your operating system's native keyring — not in config files, not in databases, not in plain text.
