Inside Solen
What stays on your computer?
Solen runs on your Windows computer. Screenshots Solen saves stay there. When a task uses online AI, Solen sends your instructions, relevant text and pictures of the windows that task uses to the AI service.
On your computer
Files, settings,
and screenshots.
Solen reads or changes files when a task needs it. It also stores unencrypted screenshots under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Relay\Captures. When another capture is saved, Solen tries to remove captures older than seven days and keep at most 100; if no later capture triggers cleanup, older files can remain longer. Screenshots can include private screens such as sign-in forms.
Those saved screenshots stay on your computer. Uninstalling the app leaves local data behind; the Privacy Policy explains how to remove it.
Sent for online AI
Only what the
request needs.
When you ask for online AI, your instructions and relevant text needed for the task go through Solen's service to OpenAI or OpenRouter, or straight to the provider you connected. While Solen works on a task, pictures of the windows that task uses are sent through Solen's gateway to the AI service, or straight to the provider you connected, so it can see what it is doing. Voice audio is sent to OpenAI only when you use voice transcription or a live conversation.
Sign-in is handled by Supabase. Usage records help Solen run the Beta and track any one-time managed-AI allowance included with an invitation. A diagnostic export is created on your computer only when you choose it; it is not sent automatically.
