Ember
Nothing leaves the machine
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.
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 keeps every byte on your disk — network closed by default.
No accountNo subscriptionDeletes in one click
A mind, simulated — computed on your machine right now, not streamed. That's how Ember works too.

01 / Why Ember
An assistant you actually own.
Cloud assistants rent you the same model, cap what they keep of you, and store your life on someone else's servers. Ember inverts all three.
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.
Remove it in one click
One owner switch deletes Ember completely — model, memory, everything. Gone means gone, the moment you ask.
02 / It evolves
It gets sharper the longer you keep it.
A cloud assistant's memory of you lives on their servers — capped, summarized, deletable by policy. Ember's lives on your disk, uncapped, and compounds: more context, more fit to you, every day it runs.
DAY 1
Private from the first second. Knows nothing yet.
MONTH 6
Six months of context behind every answer — ask, and it knows.
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 has no vendor filter bolted on top: the only policy layer is the one you set, plus a fixed floor that protects minors and never switches off. The open model still has its own training — but nobody else's rules sit between you and it.
- No vendor filter between you and the model
- No account, no usage policy, no remote kill-switch
- Your machine, your rules
CLOUD"I'm sorry, I can't help with that request."
EMBERHere's what you asked for.
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
- Search it, correct it, copy it — it's a file on your disk
- On your disk, read by no one but you

Voice
Talk to it. Out loud.
Hold a real spoken conversation — your words recognized, its replies spoken back — with every step running on your machine. Your voice is never uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it.
- Speech in, speech out — recognition and voice both on-device
- Knows when you've finished talking — no push-to-talk button
- English voices today, more languages in the works

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
