❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use Penuvia completely offline without creating an account?
Yes! Your Standard Local Household runs 100% locally and offline on your Mac forever. An account is only needed if you want encrypted multi-device or multi-person Cloud household sync.
What happens if I disconnect Cloud services for a household?
Your data is never locked away: former Cloud households remain usable offline on your Mac as additional Local Households (with Cloud Reconnect Option), keeping their household ID and invite code intact so you can reconnect anytime with 1 click.
Can you recover my encrypted household vault if I lose my vault key?
No — because Penuvia uses true client-side AES-256-GCM zero-knowledge encryption, our servers never know your key. Always save your Emergency Recovery Kit inside Penuvia.
What are the system requirements?
Penuvia is built natively with SwiftUI and AppKit for modern macOS systems (Apple Silicon & Intel).
