Safety: what Eggie protects and what not

Eggie keeps your projects in a separate Linux machine, the kitchen. That protects your computer from accidents. It isn’t a vault against someone who wants to break things.

What Eggie does

• Your files stay out. The kitchen can’t see your Windows drives or Mac folders. Projects come in as copies.
• On your computer, project addresses are private. Nobody on your Wi-Fi or the internet can open them. In a cloud kitchen it’s the opposite: every project is online.
• Other websites can’t control Eggie. The console only answers when you open it from the Eggie app.
• Secrets stay out of code. Keys you put in Secrets never land in project files or git.
• A public link opens one project. Never the console or your other projects.

What Eggie doesn’t promise

• Your agent has full control inside the kitchen. It can read every project and every secret, and delete anything in there. The same goes for any code you run in a project. Use agents and code you trust.
• It isn’t a sandbox for unknown software. Don’t use Eggie to run code you suspect is harmful. On Windows, programs inside the kitchen can still start Windows programs.
• A public link has no password. Anyone with the link can open the project. Only the app’s own login protects it.
• No backups. Deleting a project or uninstalling Eggie removes your projects for good. Keep your code on GitHub.
