SPHENE KERNEL v2.2
Deterministic, Flat-File, Sovereign Encrypted Knowledge Substrate for Humans & Autonomous AI
CRYPTOGRAPHIC VAULT PARTITIONS
Interactive 3D Knowledge Graph
Differential Timeline ("Human Veto")
Inspect, approve, or veto autonomous AI agent modifications at the AST block level before vault persistence.
Plugins & Extensions
Verified WebAssembly isolates with strict WASI capabilities, zero OS shell execution, and Ed25519 integrity attestations.
Settings & User Management Hub
Manage sovereign user accounts, cryptographic private vaults, on-disk encryption, and delta versioning policies.
Daemon Connection & App Endpoint
Inspect or re-route the daemon URL when running as a standalone app, Cloudflare Tunnel, or remote server.
When running Sphene as an installed standalone app without an address bar, use this setting to point the app to any Cloudflare Tunnel (https://...), Tailscale Funnel, or remote server. "Switch to URL" validates connectivity and immediately navigates this app window to the target address.
Tailscale Sovereign Remote Mesh (Zero-Port Sync)
Encrypted WireGuard peer-to-peer mesh. Connect your phone or laptop from anywhere with zero port-forwarding or router setup.
Zero-Knowledge Cloud Relay (Google Drive & Dropbox)
Asynchronous time-shifted sync for your phone and PC. Notes are client-side AES-256-GCM encrypted before upload — cloud providers see only ciphertext.
Best for Android & Google users. Syncs to an isolated "Sphene Vault" app folder with Zero-Knowledge encryption.
No Google account needed. Works seamlessly on iOS & Android via Dropbox App Folder sandbox with PKCE auth.
Editor & Markdown Preferences
Configure dynamic editing behavior, inline formatting, and Obsidian-compatible live preview.
When enabled (default), formatted Markdown renders graphically as soon as your cursor leaves a line. Moving the cursor back to any line instantly expands it to raw text for editing.
When viewing or editing a document on desktop/wide displays, the sidebar smoothly slides out of view to maximize writing and reading space. Moving your mouse within 25% of the left screen edge smoothly rolls the sidebar back into view like a taskbar.
Import Notes from Obsidian / Disk
Recursively scan and import a complete folder of Markdown files, preserving all subfolders and notes hierarchy.
Select any existing Obsidian vault or folder on your computer. Sphene will recursively import all .md notes into the Workspace partition, faithfully mapping all subdirectories to native Sphene Folders.
Global Vault Encryption
Encrypt all documents across the entire vault (Workspace, Reference, and Private) with AES-256-GCM.
When active, raw markdown files on disk are armored ciphertext (<!-- SPHENE-VAULT:ENCRYPTED:AES256 -->). The UI seamlessly decrypts for authenticated sessions.
This key is distinct from user passwords and used exclusively for vault-wide sovereign encryption.
Your knowledge is 100% sovereign. If Sphene ceases to exist or you are stuck on a deserted island with only a Linux terminal, you can decrypt your raw notes yourself with OpenSSL:
# Decrypt any note without Sphene using standard OpenSSL:
openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -in Note.md -out Note_decrypted.md -k "YOUR_MASTER_CIPHER_KEY"
Delta Document Versioning
Preserve Git-style line-by-line historic diffs and instant one-click version rollback.
App Version & Sovereign PWA Cache
Inspect kernel release status, purge stale service worker caches, and force synchronization.
20260918.01 • Service Worker Shell: sphene-shell-v2.2.15
Local Storage & Lazy Ghost Notes
Manage notes stored on your device. Evict cached note bodies to reclaim space without losing vault notes.
Theme & Appearance
Customize your personal visual theme. Each user profile retains their own individual theme preference.
