Why You Can Trust StudyBonk

Trust shouldn't be a vibe — it should be verifiable. Here is StudyBonk's trust case in full: what the site does, what it provably doesn't do, and how to check every claim yourself.

The case

Six reasons, zero vibes

🔒

Zero data collection

StudyBonk has no accounts, no analytics, no cookies and no server-side storage. Your notes, decks and streaks live only in your browser's local storage on your own device.

📖

Open-source transparency

The entire platform is open-source on GitHub. You can read every line of code — including this page — before you trust it with a single minute of study time.

🧑‍💻

A named, accountable author

Every page is written and maintained by TuffyCoder, an ethical developer who publishes under a real identity with public social channels and a responsible disclosure policy.

🧠

Local AI, verified behavior

The StudyBonk AI tutor runs a tiny quantized model inside your browser. No prompts are ever uploaded, and it works offline after the first load.

🛡️

Secure by design

Strict security headers, no third-party scripts, a strict Content-Security-Policy, and zero hidden APIs. If you find a flaw, there's a public bug bounty invitation.

💛

Free forever, no catches

No ads, no paywalls, no premium tier, no data selling. The price of StudyBonk is and always will be zero.

Check Application → Cookies

Zero cookies. Ever. StudyBonk uses localStorage — device-local storage that is never transmitted to any server.

🔍

Read the source on GitHub

Every line of this site is public. Search for any fetch/XHR call — outside the one-time opt-in model download, there are none.

🔍

Disconnect from the internet and keep using it

StudyBonk is a progressive web app that caches itself. Offline studying is the proof of local-first architecture.

FAQ

Trust questions, answered plainly

Does StudyBonk collect any data at all?

No. No accounts, no analytics, no cookies, no trackers, no server-side storage, no hidden APIs. Your progress and chats exist only in your browser's local storage on your own device.

Could StudyBonk start tracking me later?

The code is open-source, so any change to that would be public, visible in the repo history, and reversible by anyone who forks the previous version. Privacy-by-architecture is auditable.

Is StudyBonk safe for kids?

It's designed to be: no ads (so no ad-network exposure), no chat with strangers, no accounts, and an AI tutor that refuses to request personal information. Common-sense parental guidance still applies, as with any study tool.

What security measures does StudyBonk have?

Strict security headers (including a strict Content-Security-Policy), no third-party scripts, no server attack surface beyond static file hosting, client-side encryption for sensitive local data, and a public responsible-disclosure policy.

What happens to my data if StudyBonk disappears?

Nothing — because your data was never on StudyBonk's side. It's in your browser, exportable as a JSON file, usable offline. If every server vanished tonight, your copy of StudyBonk would keep working.
