Local-first AI · runs on your machine

The AI that lives on your machine.

Ember runs entirely on your own computer. It learns you, remembers everything, and never sends a byte to the cloud — because there is no cloud.

01 / Why Ember

An assistant you actually own.

Cloud assistants rent you the same model, forget you between sessions, and keep your life on someone else's servers. Ember inverts all three.

PRIVATE

Nothing leaves the box

Zero network egress by default. Ember reaches the internet only through a capability you grant, audit, and revoke — and the Privacy screen shows you the live count.

PERMANENT

Memory without a cap

No token window, no monthly purge, no summarizer quietly discarding your history. Local storage is cheap — Ember remembers years of you and answers for all of it.

YOURS

Remove it in one click

One owner switch deletes Ember completely — model, memory, everything. A virus resists removal; Ember leaves the instant you ask.

02 / It evolves

It gets sharper the longer you keep it.

A cloud model is the same rented brain on day one and day one thousand — it resets every session. Ember compounds: more memory, more context, more fit to you, every day it lives on your machine.

DAY 1
Private from the first second. Knows nothing yet.
MONTH 6
Anticipates your routines and recalls on its own.
YEAR 2+
A model of you no one else can rent.
Uncensored

It answers to you.

Cloud models ship wrapped in a corporate content policy — they refuse, hedge, and moralize. Ember runs on your hardware with no vendor filter bolted on. It's your model: you set the boundaries, on top of one fixed floor that protects minors and never switches off.

  • No corporate refusals or canned "I can't help with that"
  • No vendor deciding what you're allowed to ask
  • Your machine, your rules
CLOUD"I'm sorry, I can't help with that request."
EMBERHere's exactly what you asked for. No lecture, no refusal — it runs on your machine and answers to you.
Permanent memory

It remembers everything.

Ember keeps a private, searchable record of your work and days — on disk, never in the cloud. Ask what happened last quarter and it actually knows.

  • No context window to overflow
  • Searchable, editable, exportable — it's your file
  • On your disk, read by no one but you

Private by construction

Watch it prove it.

Ember doesn't ask you to trust a privacy promise — it shows you the ledger. Every capability is visible, every byte accounted for, and the network stays closed until you open it.

  • Live egress meter you can read any time
  • Every action sandboxed, logged, reversible
  • Advisory guardian — explains, never overrides you
