Everything Ember does — on your machine.
A real model, a permanent memory, and an advisory guardian — all running locally, fully offline. Nothing leaves the device unless you grant it.
A real model, on your own hardware.
Ember runs a genuine reasoning model directly on your computer — fully offline. No prompt round-trip, no shared tenancy, no usage meter. The model is yours while it runs.
- Inference happens on-device, with no network call
- Uses your local GPU or CPU — no external compute
- Works with the network closed, on a plane or off-grid
It remembers, without a cap.
Ember keeps a private, searchable record of your work and days on disk — never in the cloud. No context window to overflow, no monthly purge. Ask what happened months ago and it actually knows.
- No token limit and no summarizer quietly dropping history
- Searchable, editable, exportable — it is your file
- Stored on this device, opened only by you
It can act for you — only where you allow.
Ember ships with a toolbox — timers, reminders, notes, weather, unit math, device volume, and smart-home control — and every tool is opt-in. Screen awareness is in the works. Every capability is owner-granted, logged, and revocable at any time.
- Acts only on capabilities you explicitly grant
- Every action is sandboxed and written to the log
- Revoke any permission the moment you want to
An advisory watchdog that explains.
Ember's guardian is advisory. It explains what is happening on your machine and helps you decide — it never decides for you. You can see everything it watches, and it is never a replacement for your own security tools.
- Advisory only — the call is always yours
- You can read everything it watches
- Every verdict comes with the reasoning behind it
