End-to-end encrypted cloud sync
With increased focus on data sovereignty and privacy, it would be good to see Bolt AI roll out full zero-knowledge cloud sync where no one (not Bolt, not the hosting company, not hackers, not those with a legal order) has the capacity to read conversation histories.
I appreciate this is technically challenging for a one-person company, but I hope you’ll consider including it in the future. Undoubtedly it would help more companies adopt Bolt, and would pair beautifully with the increasing adoption of zero-data retention models.

Thanks for considering this option so carefully. Look forward to seeing it in the future if Bolt continues to grow. Please, tell us more about the custom sync engine? Thanks!

I can’t promise this as it takes an insane amount of work. It is on my roadmap, but at this stage, I can’t afford to do it yet. I think everyone would agree that full data e2ee implementation is hard. I’ve wasted a lot of time with this before with other products so I know first hand how hard it is.
My plan is to first get the product to work correctly, then grow the business to the point I could hire more developers.
Currently there are still issues with data schema & the sync engine design. Implementing e2ee at this stage would make it worse, not better: overhead, sync + encryption complexity, impossible or very hard to recover/backfix data errors etc.
What I think I could do in the near future is to allow a custom sync engine. Right now I’ve built it in the way that it possible to use a different sync adapter but it doesn’t work really well yet. Going forward, I think this could be a product / project on it own and can be supported by the community.
If you have a better idea, I’m all ears!
Oh and happy new year.
