A native macOS app that allows users to chat with a local LLM that can respond with information from files, folders and websites on your Mac without installing any other software. Powered by llama.cpp.
This macOS app allows you to chat with an AI assistant that understands information from your local files, folders, and even websites you've visited. You input questions in plain language, and it provides answers, direct quotes with sources, and even generates images or drafts emails. It's designed for anyone needing a private, intelligent assistant to quickly find, summarize, or act on information across their personal digital workspace, like students researching papers or professionals managing documents.
3,184 stars. Actively maintained with 4 commits in the last 30 days.
Use this if you need a confidential, AI-powered research assistant on your Mac that can access and synthesize information from your documents and the web without uploading your data to external servers.
Not ideal if you primarily work on Windows or Linux, or if your tasks require extensive collaboration or enterprise-level data integration beyond your local machine.
