Capabilities

01

Zero-knowledge by design

Zero-knowledge means no server ever sees your data. There's no account and no telemetry, and nothing you type or store leaves your machine — so there is simply nothing for us, or anyone else, to read.

02

Works with no internet

After a one-time model and knowledge download, everything runs offline. Nothing you type ever leaves your computer.

03

Local inference

Runs language models entirely on your own device. No cloud, no API keys, no background daemon.

04

Offline knowledge base

An offline copy of Wikipedia (Kiwix ZIM full-text search) alongside your own reference folders — PDFs, notes, and documents you add.

05

Answers cite their sources

Retrieval-augmented answers merge Wikipedia and your references, with inline [S#] citations and a sources panel.

06

Pick a model in the app

Choose a model from the catalog and it downloads automatically. Resumable, one-time, fully managed.

07

Native on three platforms

A native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
