## FAQ

### Does EleSync require a cloud account?

No, normal local use works without an EleSync cloud service, and no account or email registration is required.

### How can I use EleSync with Claude Desktop?

You can generate a project-specific connection from a project page in the dashboard, which provides a command to run in your local environment.

### Is my data stored in the cloud?

No, the system is local-first, meaning your notes and search index live in a vault on your own computer.
