AthenaDB Lite

The engine embedded with no server: an encrypted, offline-first local database with the full hybrid-retrieval stack — built for desktop and edge.

In progressGet started

Encrypted local vault

Your data is encrypted at rest with AthenaDB's own AEAD stack — no bundled third-party datastore. Open with a key; there is no plaintext on disk.

Offline-first

Lite is designed to run fully local with no server. It's the embeddable single-file form of the engine for desktop and edge.

Full hybrid retrieval

Keyword, vector (HNSW + IVF), timeline, and entity indexes are all present locally, unified into one hybrid-RAG query surface.

On-box embeddings

Generate and re-embed vectors locally (or via an external embedding service), with quantization to keep the index compact.

Typed domain stores

Domain packs layer typed object stores (cases, encounters, works) on top of the vault, all confined by the pack sandbox.

Offline sync foundations (in progress)

Lite can keep serving the local app offline. Object-level oplog and changeset foundations are in progress; whole or explicitly scoped two-way replication and reconnect reconciliation are Planned / Early Access.

Convergent Record Versioning (planned)

AthenaDB's planned reconciliation model merges non-overlapping field changes, selects a deterministic same-field winner, and keeps recoverable version history for enrolled replicas.

Secure Data Tunnel (planned)

AthenaDB can securely fetch and exchange data on behalf of your app over a tunnel with regularly rotating keys — without a separate app data API gateway.
