Privacy
This is the Privacy tab from the app. Four categories are pinned to Inside. Move the other two and watch the week change.
Every crossing is recorded with what was sent and why. Voice, home and camera data never cross the Gate. The four pinned categories cannot be changed, even by you.
Your files, photos and memory are processed on the box today, and voice, home control and cameras will be when the box exists. These categories are pinned to Inside in the software, not in a settings page.
A crossing is a card you approve. It names the task and exactly what will be sent. Approve once, or keep it inside and let Tandem do its best from what it already knows.
The front screen and the app keep a log: time, task, what left, who approved it. Tap any line for the full record. Nothing is summarised away.
Close the Gate from the screen, the app, or by voice. The box keeps working. Jobs that need the Outside wait or fail clearly. Nothing is silently queued.
How it is built
Privacy here is not a setting. The Inside, where everything of yours lives, has no route to the internet. The Outside is your router, on its own processor. The Gate between them forwards only what you approve, and writes it down.
Has no path to the internet.
Only what you approve crosses, and it is written down.
Is your router.
The Outside runs on its own network processor. The Inside has no route to it except the Gate. This is wiring, not a setting.
Anatomy of a crossing
A crossing is a task, not a transcript. Tandem builds the smallest package that can answer the question, strips names, identifiers and history, and shows you the package before it goes.
The answer comes back through Tandem. Any action it implies still passes the permission engine and is verified on the device.
Security
Woven Core maps its controls to the NIST consumer IoT baseline and the 2026 manufacturer guidance. The model is never a security boundary. Four of the six below are built and tested today4; the hardware ones wait on the box5.
The database, every file and the box's private keys, under a household key. On a Mac that key is in your login Keychain.
A release is verified before anything in it is used, the previous one is kept, and it comes back on its own if the new one does not start.
Remote access is one outbound connection, and every frame through it is encrypted end to end under a key only your browser and your box hold.
Off closes the Gate, drops the connection and refuses everything until you switch it on. It survives a restart.
Per-device identity in hardware, and storage that unlocks only for an attested compute module.
Production debug ports disabled, audited service access, a published security contact and a support window.
