Privacy and sync

Prodify is local first: your data stays on your device unless you choose to sync it, and it's encrypted before it leaves.

Local account

The default. It’s free forever, needs no sign-up and works offline. Everything stays on this device.

Password and encryption

In Settings → Account and data you can:

• Add a password. Prodify asks for it when it opens, and Ctrl L locks it straight away.
• Encrypt your files on disk with AES-256-GCM, using a key derived from your password. Encrypted files can only be read inside Prodify.
• Save a recovery key. If you forget your password, the recovery key unlocks your data. Keep it somewhere safe: without the password or the recovery key, encrypted data can’t be recovered.

Several users

Several people can use Prodify on one computer. Each user has their own data folder and settings, and you switch between them from Settings.

Prodify Cloud

Prodify Cloud keeps your devices in sync.

1. In setup or in Settings → Account and data, choose Prodify Cloud.
2. Enter your email and password. New to Prodify Cloud, or forgot your password? Choose Email me a code and type the code you’re sent.
3. If you turned on two-step verification, also enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app, or one of your backup codes.
4. Your files are encrypted on your device with your account’s key before they’re uploaded. The server stores data it can’t read.

Sign in on another device, or in the web app, with the same account to sync it. Your Cloud password is your account password: the same one that unlocks your encrypted data. Signing out stops syncing on that device; your data stays both there and in the cloud.

Plans

What goes online

Without Prodify Cloud, Prodify only goes online to fetch things you ask for: collection details and covers, exercise photos, the weather, music, and AI answers if you’ve added a key.
