That's not a solution, though. If I use Obsidian to store sensitive information about my business, does Obsidian need to know that the information is sensitive and to tell Windows not to look at it? How would it possibly know?

Fundamentally the user is the one who knows, and telling the OS whether every last thing is safe to index or not it's simply a non starter. Hell, even trusting the user to reliably and accurately tell you what is actually sensitive or not isn't going to work either.

Agreed, I don’t think there is a reliable way to actually achieve what Recall is trying to accomplish. I think if all the models and stuff strictly ran locally with no chance of leaving the box it wouldn’t be as much of an issue at that point it would be the same as if you stored all your passwords in a text file.
