# Thoughts belong to thinkers.

Not the AI tool you just pasted them into. Sonomos built Locke for that.

Why we built this

## We kept catching ourselves mid-paste.

Client files. Contracts. Code we had no right to share. We use AI every day, and backspacing names out of a prompt is not a privacy strategy.

So we built Locke. It watches the boundary for you, on your machine, and doesn't ask you to trust us.

If Locke works, the safe way to use AI stops being the slow way.

## People paste first and think second.

AI isn't going away, and neither is that habit. Locke is the check between the paste and the send.
