What Selv can read

Choose sources in Settings › Data Sources to add local context Selv can answer from.

Sources with their own page

• Apple Notes — import your Apple Notes into the knowledge graph.
• Documents, folders & Obsidian — point Selv at your own files and vaults.
• Calendar — bring meetings and plans into your memory.
• Browser history — what you were reading and researching.

Everything else Data Sources offers

• Clipboard History — remembers text you copy while Selv is running. Selv filters concealed entries and common password-manager clipboard items; avoid copying sensitive secrets while capture is enabled if they must never enter your memory.
• Chat Imports — WhatsApp and Telegram exports, parsed and indexed on-device.
• Journal Import — Day One and compatible JSON exports.
• Shell History — your terminal history, parsed on-device.
• Git Commits — local commit history per project, read directly from each repo's files.
• Reminders — your Apple Reminders: commitments, due dates, completion patterns.
• Apple Mail — Mail.app messages already on this Mac. Selv does not contact a mail server for this source.
• Notion — pages from a Notion integration you connect. Requests go from your Mac to Notion.
• Mail via IMAP — Proton Mail through Proton Bridge on this Mac, or Fastmail, iCloud Mail, or a host you enter.

Network paths for these sources are listed in What leaves this Mac.
