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.
Available nowGet 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.
Scoped sync (in progress)
Two-way Lite↔Server sync rides the Instance Trust Fabric; the device-trust foundation ships today.
