A local-first AI studio

Private AI apps that
actually feel like yours.

We believe the most personal software shouldn't live in someone else's cloud. localhost/AI builds focused apps that run AI entirely on your device — your notes, your money, your world, staying with you.

What we believe

A small set of convictions, built into everything we ship.

01

Your data stays home

We believe privacy isn't a setting — it's an architecture. Nothing leaves the device, because there's no server for it to leave to. The model comes to your data, never the other way around.

02

Small, sharp, personal

We believe a focused app that does one thing for one person beats a sprawling platform. Each app is a specialist that knows your world and works offline, on your terms.

03

Yours to keep

We believe you should own the intelligence you rely on. No accounts you can be locked out of, no subscription holding your files hostage. It runs whether or not we're around.

The apps

Specialists, one private engine.

Every app shares the same on-device foundation — then adapts it to a corner of your life that deserves to stay private.

Local NotesLive

Write like no one's watching. A calm place to write, organize, and think — with an AI you can talk to about your own notes. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves your device.

for anyone who thinks by writing
Local Notes — the note editor
Local MoneyLive

Your money, on your phone. Track spending, snap receipts, and ask AI about your finances — all on your device. No bank logins, no account. Import a statement and it reads it locally.

for anyone who wants clarity, not surveillance
Local Money — the dashboard
Something newComing soon

We're building the next private, on-device app in the family. Same idea: your most personal data, an AI that helps, and nothing ever leaving your phone.

How it works

Built on QVAC. Made personal by us.

Our apps are powered by QVAC, Tether's open-source engine for running AI directly on your phone — no servers, no accounts, nothing sent away. We take that foundation and shape it into apps built around one person's world.

The engine that runs the AI on your device is QVAC. The apps, the design, and the way it all feels are ours.

Intelligence that stays close to home.

We're building in the open and looking for early users, testers, and collaborators who care about private software.
