What you get, free
Write, research, and create with AI on your computer. Free to start. Your local models keep your prompts on your device.
Run any model - a curated catalog plus direct Hugging Face search, all local.
For new work as it lands, get the macOS nightly or Windows x64 nightly, or the Linux beta AppImage and deb packages. Preview builds can have rough edges.
Why you can trust it
Your data never leaves your device, by architecture. No cloud inference, no account to create, no server that can leak. Your local database is encrypted at rest, and the whole app is open source under AGPL, so you can read exactly what it does.
180,000+ downloads across the apps, 3,000+ GitHub stars, a 600-strong community.
One local endpoint that speaks OpenAI
Point any OpenAI client at http://127.0.0.1:7878/v1 and it works. No key. Chat, vision, image, audio, and embeddings, all on one local server.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:7878/v1", api_key="not-needed")
print(client.chat.completions.create(
model="local",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
).choices[0].message.content)
Run it headless with --server-only for a homelab box, a server, or wiring local models into your own apps.
Computer Use and Web Use are live
Give Off Grid AI Desktop a task in the browser or on your screen. Web Use works inside the browser. Computer Use works through the controls on your screen. Both run as supervised tasks, with Pause, Stop, Take Over, and live guidance while they work.
An assistant that knows your working day
Pro builds a private memory of the work you choose to record. Find a decision from a meeting. Revisit a screen. See what is still open, then ask your AI to help move it forward.
Pro is available on macOS only today. It is not included in Windows builds.
Your Day - the brief a chief of staff would hand you each morning.
Reflect - where your attention actually went, by hour and by app.
Entities - the people, projects, and companies you touch, kept current for you.
