Q&A
Questions before your Mac starts remembering.
Short answers about what Semper is, how the waitlist works, and what local-first means for the product.
What does Semper capture?
The macOS app is designed to capture useful screen context, OCR text, timestamps, and frontmost app metadata.
Where is my data stored?
The app direction is local-first. Capture history is designed to live on your Mac using SQLite.
Does Semper upload my screen by default?
No. Semper is being designed around local context, not uploading your work by default.
Why join the waitlist?
The waitlist is for early build access, meaningful product updates, and source release notes.
What information does the waitlist collect?
The current site stores your email address, signup timestamp, and source label in a local JSONL file.
Will Semper be open source?
Yes. Semper is planned to release as open source after the public build is stable enough to inspect and contribute to.
Who is Semper for?
Anyone whose work spreads across tabs, documents, notes, messages, references, and apps.
Can I delete my information?
For waitlist data, contact hello@semper.systems. The app itself is being designed with clear delete controls.
