HistoryYour history stays on your computer.
Updated October 14, 2026. This notice covers the History desktop plugin by Noah Lewis Kramer, hosted on a separate ArkheOS.ai subdomain. It does not replace Widget Canvas’s privacy notice.
What the plugin reads
History reads active and archived Codex rollout JSONL files from your configured CODEX_HOME, or your default .codex directory. It may read local Codex title metadata to label results. It does not modify or delete those source files.
What stays on your device
History creates a derived SQLite search index containing passage text, source locations, timestamps, thread relationships, and locally saved pins. On Windows it is stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%\CodexHistory\data\history unless you set HISTORY_DATA_HOME. The local reader binds to 127.0.0.1 and requires a random token created for each process. The executable has no account sign-in, telemetry client, advertising code, or outbound network requests.
What reaches your conversation
When you invoke History tools, selected search results and source excerpts are returned to the Codex or ChatGPT host. That host may retain them in a conversation under its own settings and privacy terms. Avoid asking History to surface secrets or private material you do not want in that conversation. Opening the local reader does not itself publish your rollouts.
Website and support
Cloudflare serves these History pages and may process technical request data such as IP address and browser headers. These pages do not load advertising or analytics scripts. If you email support, we receive the content and attachments you choose to send and use them to respond to your request. Do not email complete rollout files or secrets unless you intentionally want us to receive them.
Retention and deletion
Your Codex rollout retention is controlled by Codex, not History. History’s derived index and pins remain on your computer until you delete them; uninstalling the plugin does not remove them. Close History and delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\CodexHistory, or your chosen HISTORY_DATA_HOME, to remove its derived data. This does not delete source rollouts. Contact support@arkheos.ai about support messages you have sent or to request their deletion.
