GroundGear One
A self-contained privacy bridge for your files and ideas. Plug in one device and open a private workspace for redaction, encrypted storage, and intelligent notes.
01 GroundGear One. Built for private work.
The private workspace
GroundGear One is more than a redaction tool. It gives sensitive work a private place to move, rest, and become useful—without sending the originals to someone else’s computer.
GROUNDGEAR REDACT
Detect sensitive names, titles, and organizations on the device. Replace them with readable tokens before a file leaves your hands.
GROUNDGEAR VAULT
Password access unlocks encrypted content stored on GroundGear One. Your protected files remain with the device, not in a remote account.
GROUNDGEAR NOTES
A simple on-device AI assistant helps organize notes and find what you wrote, while your private knowledge stays in your local workspace.
A visible boundary
GroundGear One sits between your sensitive material and the tools you choose to use. Redaction and mapping happen on the device. Only the protected copy needs to travel.
GroundGear Redact
Redact replaces sensitive entities with typed tokens that preserve the shape of the document. When the protected file returns, GroundGear can restore the values from the mapping it kept locally.
Maya Chen, Director of Research at Northstar Labs, will lead the review in Denver.
Send the revised findings to the project lead before Thursday.
Illustrative example. Entity review remains under your control.
One local address
GroundGear One creates a direct local network link over USB-C. Visit https://groundgear.local to reach Redact, Vault, and Notes from the browser you already use.
The honest certificate story
GroundGear One is not connected to the public internet, so your browser cannot ask a public certificate authority to verify its local certificate. That warning is expected. The browser connection is encrypted and travels directly through the USB-C link to the device.
Start local
Plug GroundGear One into your computer with USB-C.
Use your browser to open the device’s private local workspace.
Protect a file, unlock your vault, or work with private notes.
GroundGear Notes
Search and organize notes with a simple assistant running on GroundGear One. Your notes stay inside the device’s private workspace.
PLANNED Voice recording and local transcription are on the roadmap.
Practical answers
No. The device interface, Redact processing, encrypted Vault access, and Notes assistant are designed to work locally. You may separately choose to send a redacted copy to an external AI service.
The device uses a local certificate that public certificate authorities cannot verify while it is offline. Avoiding a certificate installation step preserves portability. The HTTPS session is confined to the direct USB-C network link.
No. GroundGear Redact can unredact files that it previously redacted when the corresponding private mapping remains on the device. It does not reconstruct arbitrary third-party redactions.
GroundGear Vault provides password-unlocked access to encrypted content stored on the device, within the same local browser workspace.
GroundGear Notes can help organize notes and search their content locally. Voice recording is planned and is not presented as a current capability.
GroundGear One
Redact. Vault. Notes. One private workspace that goes where you do.
