LocalChat is a private AI chat application that runs entirely on your Mac. No cloud servers, no subscriptions, no account required. Just fast, local AI conversations powered by your Apple Silicon hardware.

Every message you send to cloud AI services gets stored on servers you don't control. LocalChat takes a different approach. All AI processing happens directly on your device, so your conversations never leave your machine. Once you download a model, you don't even need an internet connection. Use it on flights, in coffee shops, or anywhere you work.

How It Works

LocalChat runs open-source AI models in GGUF format directly on your Mac's hardware. Download a model through the built-in one-click model manager and you're ready to go. No terminal commands, no configuration files, no technical setup. Switch between 300+ models instantly depending on the task.
