Privacy and data locations
LlamaBoss is local-first: local GGUF inference and your saved data live on your computer. Network access occurs only for features that require or explicitly use it.
What stays local
When a local GGUF model is selected, prompts are processed by the bundled local llama.cpp server. Saved conversations, local models, logs, cache, Projects, Skills, notes, workflow files, and generated artifacts remain on the computer unless you deliberately copy or transmit them elsewhere.
LlamaBoss has no required account and no application telemetry.
Features that can use the network
| Feature | Network behavior |
|---|---|
| Model download | Downloads selected model files from their hosting source. |
| Update check | Fetches the public https://llamaboss.com/version.json manifest with a generic user agent. |
| Remote endpoint | Sends the request content to the configured OpenAI-compatible service. |
| Web fetch | Retrieves the specific URL requested through the tool. |
| Python package install | Uses pip and the network after a package-specific approval. |
Main data locations
| Data | Default location |
|---|---|
| Models | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\models or your custom model folder |
| Conversations | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\conversations |
| Logs | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\logs |
| Config and cache | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\config and cache |
| Endpoint definitions | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\endpoints.json |
| Connection secrets | %LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss\secrets.json |
| Conversation workflows | %USERPROFILE%\LlamaBoss\Workflows |
| Projects | %USERPROFILE%\LlamaBoss\Projects |
| Skills | %USERPROFILE%\LlamaBoss\Skills |
| Personal notes | %USERPROFILE%\LlamaBoss\NOTES.md |
Connection secrets
Direct values in secrets.json are plaintext. The file uses the current user's filesystem permissions, but the values are not encrypted with DPAPI or stored in Windows Credential Manager. Environment-variable references avoid placing the actual secret value in that JSON file.
Do not publish or attach secrets.json. Review source archives before sharing them if your project copied credentials into scripts, configuration files, or logs.
Uninstall and cleanup
Uninstall LlamaBoss from Windows Settings → Apps. Large model downloads and user-created data may remain so an uninstall does not unexpectedly destroy them. To remove everything, review and delete both:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\LlamaBoss
%USERPROFILE%\LlamaBossAlso remove any custom model folder only when it is no longer used by another application.
