Your archive. Private AI. On a Mac you own.
Documents, email, recordings, photos, and AI chat history in one search, answered on the machine, with the page it came from.
What you get
- Knowledge base
- Your archive, indexed on your own machine.
- Search and chat
- One search across every file type. Cited answers.
- Feedback loop
- Each question and correction is logged locally and feeds a nightly evaluation. The system is measured, not guessed.
- Services
- Fine-tuning on your material, accuracy work against your own benchmark, model upgrades, and support. See services.

Everything you have, one search
Word, PDF, mail exports, recordings, photos, and AI chat exports become pages. One search returns a document, an email, and a recording in one list, each with its source.

Answers you can check
Ask in plain language. The answer quotes the passage and names the page, the model, and the time it took.

Nothing leaves
The index and the models run on the Mac. Unplug the network cable and it still answers. A cloud model is used only when you set your own key. What we promise.
Set up on a Mac
One command installs the tools, the models, the index, and a login item.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisoftllc/brainbox/main/install.sh | bash
