Private & Local AI: Loci

Loci is a local AI workspace

About this app

<p>Loci is a local AI workspace for your Mac. Ask questions, draft, summarize, reason through ideas, and work with files without sending your conversations to a hosted AI service.</p>
<p>RUN AI WHERE YOU WORK<br />
Use local models on your Mac in a polished chat interface built for everyday writing, research, coding, planning, and analysis.</p>
<p>MODEL CHOICE MADE SIMPLE<br />
Loci helps you use the models already on your Mac and gives clear paths to download new ones. You can start with a recommended model, then switch into more advanced controls when you want them.</p>
<p>FILES, IMAGES, AND LONGER WORK<br />
Drag files and images into chat, copy code and snippets quickly, and keep longer conversations manageable with context controls and automatic compaction.</p>
<p>VOICE WHEN YOU WANT IT<br />
Use voice input and conversational mode for hands-free sessions. Speech permissions are requested only when needed.</p>
<p>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br />
Loci is built around on-device and local-first AI. Your chats and local files stay on your Mac unless you choose to use an outside service.</p>
<p>BUILT FOR MAC<br />
Light and dark appearance, desktop-focused onboarding, keyboard-friendly chat, model management, local API support for power users, and safeguards for memory-heavy local models.</p>
