Highlights

What changed in 0.2.1.

Founder Access refresh layout

  • Fixed the startup Founder Access license-refresh form layout.
  • The email and license-key fields now stay inside the visible panel.
  • The fix is scoped to the startup refresh panel and does not change the regular activation form layout.

Release readiness

  • Prepared app, Tauri, Cargo, and npm package metadata for 0.2.1.
  • Keeps Founder Access package promotion aligned with the 0.2.1 package state.
  • Includes focused regression coverage for the refresh-form layout.

Supported file types

Supported now: PDF, DOCX, JPG, JPEG, PNG.

Unsupported file types are skipped during Import review and do not block supported files from importing.

Trust and privacy boundaries

MemoRay remains local-first. Sensitive document search is designed to run locally on the user's Windows device.

Document content is not uploaded for search or answering.

Network access is used for Founder Access license activation, license validation, app update checks, and support forms you choose to submit.

Diagnostics stored locally — sharing not enabled.

Protected Documents

  • Set a Protected Documents password inside MemoRay.
  • Protected import is blocked until a protected-documents password exists.
  • MemoRay makes clear when a protected-documents password is set or cleared.
  • Unlock is required before changing Protected documents to Standard.

Founder Access and activation

Founder Access is required. When your approved Founder Access download is available, install MemoRay for Windows, then activate MemoRay inside the app with the email address and license key sent to you.

Scope

What is not included in this release.

Deferred or unavailable

  • Notes or in-app notes.
  • Cloud sync.
  • Mobile app.
  • Multi-user collaboration.
  • Online LLM features.
  • Email, scanner, audio, or video import claims outside the supported-file canon.
  • Unsupported file types outside the supported-file canon.

Known limitations

  • MemoRay starts with Windows. Future platform priorities will be shaped by early user feedback and demand.
  • Supported file types are limited to PDF, DOCX, JPG, JPEG, and PNG in the Founder Access Import flow.
  • Unsupported files are skipped during Import review.
  • MemoRay includes local text reading for scanned PDFs and images. Standard documents usually work best. Some low-quality scans, rotated cards, IDs, passports, membership cards, business cards, and handwriting-heavy images may be classified less precisely or may miss structured details. Review the source document when accuracy matters.
  • Encrypted or malformed DOCX files are rejected.
  • Changing the MemoRay storage folder does not move existing data automatically.
  • Finish active imports before changing the MemoRay storage folder.
  • Internet access is required for Founder Access activation, periodic license validation, and update checks.
  • Protected documents use a password created locally inside MemoRay. Founder Access license keys are for activation only. RayAI/MemoRay cannot recover that password; if it is forgotten, remove the current MemoRay workspace and import documents again before setting a new password. Original files outside MemoRay are not deleted.
  • MemoRay is signed by RayAI LLC. Because MemoRay is new, Microsoft Edge or Windows Defender SmartScreen may still show a warning while reputation builds.
