AI that's actually
yours.
A personal AI assistant for your Mac. Cloud inference that doesn't expose your identity. Local models when nothing should leave your device.
Cloud that can't identify you
Your prompts go to the model through Valni's infrastructure. The provider sees what you asked — not who asked it. No account with them, no data sold.
Fully local when you want it
Download a model and nothing leaves your Mac. No network calls, no logging, no account required. The local option is always one click away.
Agent that actually finishes the job
Reads files, edits code, runs commands across your workspace. Shows a live diff before writing anything. Nothing destructive runs without your approval.
One input bar for everything
Chat, Agent, Writer — all from the same bar. The app understands context, tracks the git branch, and stays out of your way when you're working.
