DATA

local only

// ~/.clyde/search_bookmarks.json
[
  {
    "path": "/Users/[username]/Projects",
    "bookmarkData": "<base64-encoded security-scoped bookmark>",
    "color": "blue"
  },
  {
    "path": "/Users/[username]/Documents",
    "bookmarkData": "<base64-encoded security-scoped bookmark>",
    "color": "purple"
  }
]

Directory access uses security-scoped bookmarks stored at ~/.clyde/search_bookmarks.json. The file index is in-memory only, rebuilt at launch. No file names, paths, or contents are sent anywhere.

This is a built-in Clyde command. No installation required—it ships with every copy of the app.
