Memory

Long-term memory,
not a sliding window.

Things you tell the model should stick — but stay organized. AiLocally splits memory into four categories so the right context surfaces at the right moment. All on-device, searchable, and yours to wipe with one click.

Preference

How you like answers framed. Tone. Verbosity. Naming conventions.

Fact

Stable truths about you, your projects, your stack, your codebase.

Decision

Choices already made that future answers should respect.

Note

Anything else worth surfacing later. Free-form context.

Performance

Built native.
Faster than the API.

Written in Swift. Powered by MLX. Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture means models never copy weights between CPU and GPU — every token is generated at maximum bandwidth.

Your data
never leaves your Mac.

Cloud AI promised convenience. It delivered surveillance, lock-in, and rented intelligence. We took the other path.

No data ever leaves your Mac

Every prompt, every conversation, every memory is processed on-device. We have no servers to leak.

No telemetry, no analytics

Open Activity Monitor while AiLocally runs. You will see zero outbound calls. Verifiable.

No account, no email required

You install the app. You use it. That is the entire data flow.

Developer API

Your private OpenAI,
on localhost:8080.

Same endpoints. Same request format. Same streaming semantics as api.openai.com. Flip the toggle in Settings and every tool that speaks OpenAI just works — pointed at your Mac.

Persistent memory

Long-term context split across Preference, Fact, Decision, Note. Searchable. Yours.

Live resource stats

CPU, RAM, GPU and active-model footprint visible in the sidebar at all times.

Auto-unload after N min

Honest comparison

We're not the only option.
We're the right one for this job.

If you want a free CLI to run a model, Ollama is great. If you want a chat app and don't mind cloud, ChatGPT works. AiLocally is for the spot in between — local-first, opinionated, ready to use, one-time priced.

Questions, answered.

Did not see your question? Email hello@ai-locally.com .

Do I need an internet connection to use AiLocally?
Only twice: once to download the app and a model, and once during license activation. After that it works fully offline — including model loading, inference, agents, and pipelines. You can run it on a plane, in a tunnel, or with Little Snitch blocking every outbound request.
Which Macs are supported?
Apple Silicon only: M1, M2, M3, M4 and successors. 16GB RAM minimum for 7B–13B models. 32GB+ recommended for 70B-class quantized models. Intel Macs are not supported — MLX requires unified memory architecture.
How does this compare to LM Studio or Ollama?
They are great if you want a free engine to run models. AiLocally is a complete product on top of that: 12+ curated agents, visual pipelines, persistent memory, a native Mac UI, an OpenAI-compatible API server, and Sparkle auto-updates. The full comparison table is one section up.
Will Apple Intelligence make this obsolete?
Apple Intelligence is a different product. It is a sandboxed feature set inside Apple apps, with no API for developers, no way to load arbitrary open models, and no agent system. If Apple ever ships something equivalent, every Personal license includes a 90-day refund for the first version after that announcement — but we believe complementary tools will keep their place.
Can I use AiLocally commercially?
Yes. The Personal license is per developer — use it at your job, in side projects, with paying clients, no separate commercial fee. The Teams license is for shared use across multiple seats. We do not collect a revenue share or impose usage limits.
What models can I run?
Anything in HuggingFace that has an MLX-compatible quantization. The model browser inside the app suggests well-tested ones (Llama 3.x family, Qwen 2.5, Phi-4, Mistral, Gemma 2). You can also point AiLocally at a local GGUF or safetensors file you already have.
What if I am not technical?
You do not need to be. The agents are ready to use — pick one, type, get an answer. The Markdown agent editor is optional. The Pipeline canvas has templates you can run without editing.
