VideoLane stores all data locally at ~/.videolane/. No data leaves your machine by default.

Core functionality works without API keys.

• OpenAI — For transcription-based captions (set OPENAI_API_KEY)
• Tera — For AI content generation (set TALOCODE_API_KEY)

Browser profiles are stored locally. VideoLane does not store passwords or Google credentials.

YouTube auto-upload is not implemented in v0.1. If you configure YouTube credentials, they are stored in environment variables, not in VideoLane storage.

Local API server requires no auth by default. Enable with:

VIDEOLANE_REQUIRE_AUTH=true
VIDEOLANE_API_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-token>

Never commit .env files, API keys, or credentials to git.
