The browser that can't sell, track, or read your data.
Velnode is built so your data stays yours — no tracking, no data selling, no account required. Today it lives in files you control on your device, and anything you sync is sealed so we can't read it.
you own your data
Why Velnode is different
Privacy that's architecture, not a setting.
Three things every other AI browser asks you to trust them on — that we simply can't break.
Private by architecture
Your history, notes and AI chats live in on-device files. Vee can run fully on your machine. Cloud sync is zero-knowledge — we hold only ciphertext we can't read.
Nothing to hand over
We don't collect your browsing, searches, IP or ad IDs — so there's nothing to leak, sell, or be compelled to surrender. You can't be betrayed by data that was never taken.
Made in Aotearoa
Built under the NZ Privacy Act 2020 by Dignity New Zealand — independent, with no outside investors steering your data toward an ad model.
Password Vault
Your logins, locked to you.
Save passwords and cards on-device, encrypted at rest. Sync them as opaque ciphertext we can't read — and they only unlock with your own vault passphrase, never your account login.
Separate lock by design · auto-fill · 24-word recovery.
What Velnode does not collect
No asterisks. No "anonymous" analytics. No install ping.
Never recorded off your device.
Your searches aren't logged by us.
We don't see it or store it.
No usage heartbeat, no analytics.
No profile, no ad targeting.
Optional account
Sync across devices,
without handing anything over.
Sign in to keep your bookmarks, history, notes and vault in sync across every machine you use — encrypted on your device before upload, so we hold only ciphertext we can never read.
Cross-device sync
Bookmarks, history, notes, settings and your vault stay in sync across every machine you sign in to.
Zero-knowledge encryption
Your data is sealed with a key only you hold before it leaves your device. We receive blobs we can never decrypt.
