Can I Use Jarvis Without Connecting Any Accounts?

Yes. Connectors are optional. You can run Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) as a pure screen-aware assistant, asking questions, getting help with what is on your screen, drafting text, without ever linking Gmail, Slack, Notion, or any other app. In that mode no OAuth tokens exist for Jarvis to hold, so there is nothing to encrypt or revoke, and the only data leaving your device is the prompt and any screenshot you choose to send. Connectors add power when you want it but are never required. Everything still runs through the EU backend under GDPR alignment, with no training on your data. Jarvis is the desktop AI (floating bar, Cmd+/ on macOS, Ctrl+/ on Windows) for macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux, routing to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Free to start, then $16/month.

At its core Jarvis is a floating bar that answers questions and reads your screen when asked. None of that depends on connectors. You can install it, sign in, and use frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google for explanations, summaries, drafting, and on-screen help with zero integrations attached. For a privacy-conscious user this is the minimal-footprint way to run Jarvis: just prompts and the occasional screenshot, nothing reaching into your email or chat.

Skipping connectors shrinks your data surface to almost nothing on the integration side. With no Gmail, Slack, or Notion linked, Jarvis stores no OAuth tokens for those apps, so the AES-256-GCM-encrypted credential store for you is empty and there is nothing for an attacker or subpoena to reach. You can later add a single connector if a task needs it, and remove it just as easily, keeping your exposure exactly as wide as you want it at any moment.
