local-host.ai

Product · 2026

A local-first agent for private work. It thinks on the Mac, keeps memory on disk, and runs skills you can open.

  • Execution stays on the machine. A vendor API is not part of the design.
  • Memory stays on disk. Skills are files you can open and change.
  • For work that is not allowed to leave the building.
