When you download your X archive, that data lives on your machine. But how safe is it really?
Our tool uses local-only encryption:
- Your archive is decrypted only on your device
- The encryption key never leaves your machine
- No server ever sees your raw tweet data
- Even if your computer is compromised, the encrypted archive remains unreadable without the key
This is different from cloud-based tools that upload your archive to their servers for processing. With local encryption, you maintain full control over your data at every step.
