Summary of Key Principles

Bodhi is free, open-source desktop software developed by BUIMB Research. We operate on a strict Zero Telemetry principle: your private source code, keystrokes, and workspace files execute locally and are never harvested, monitored, or transmitted to remote servers.

1. Permissive Open Source License Grant

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

The copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

2. Local Execution & Zero Telemetry Guarantee

BUIMB Research is strictly committed to sovereign privacy and zero unauthorized tracking:

  • Zero Remote Telemetry: Bodhi does not collect, record, transmit, or monetize your source code, file structures, terminal streams, or user keystrokes.
  • Local State Persistence: All workspace caches, editor settings, and configuration parameters reside strictly in local user application storage (%APPDATA%/Bodhi on Windows).
  • Native Terminal Security: Terminal sessions spawned via node-pty execute with standard local user permissions and do not establish hidden backdoors or network tunnels.

3. AI Assistant & Third-Party Services

Where AI assistant capabilities are utilized within Bodhi:

  • Direct API Communication: All requests to AI model providers (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) are initiated directly from your client machine using your own user-provided API credentials.
  • No Intermediary Proxies: BUIMB Research does not operate intermediary routing servers, sniffers, or proxy servers to inspect your AI prompts or responses.
  • API Key Confidentiality: API keys entered into Bodhi are saved in secure local storage and are never sent to BUIMB Research.

4. Security & Process Isolation

Bodhi implements standard Electron desktop security architectures:

  • Strict contextIsolation: true is enforced between the web renderer process and operating system APIs.
  • Zero raw Node.js or filesystem access is exposed to web frame contexts, preventing malicious script injections from compromising your filesystem.

5. User Responsibilities

By downloading, installing, or executing Bodhi, you agree that:

  • You will not use the Software to deliberately create malicious software, viruses, or cyber threats.
  • You are responsible for managing your own source code backups and version control repositories.
  • You will comply with applicable local and international laws governing software usage and cryptography.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BUIMB RESEARCH, ITS AUTHORS, OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
