Is my data sent to AI providers?

Only when you use AI features, then document context is sent with messages.

API keys are sent only to authenticate.

If you use LM Studio, then nothing is sent (local)

Nimbalyst keeps opening my .md files instead of VS Code (or another app)

This is a macOS behavior, not a Nimbalyst issue. On Mac, the "Always Open With" option in the right-click menu only applies to that specific file, not all files of that type.

To change the default app for all .md files:

1. In Finder, select any .md file

2. Press ⌘ + I (Get Info)

3. Under Open with, select your preferred app (e.g., Visual Studio Code)

4. Click Change All...

This tells macOS to open every .md file with your chosen app going forward.

Can I use Nimbalyst offline?

Full markdown editor functionality is available offline.

AI features require internet (except LM Studio).
