Your own AI assistant, running on your Mac
Works completely offline
Completely free. No subscriptions and no usage limits: the only limit is your own Mac's hardware.
Completely private. Your chats, photos, voice and files stay on your Mac: no account, no tracking, no AI company in the middle. If you choose to enable web access, only your search words go out, and only when you use web search.
GoRunRun Local AI works like the AI chat apps you know, but everything happens on your computer. Once it’s installed, it doesn’t even need the internet.
Install on your Mac View on GitHub
No internet needed
Switch off the Wi-Fi. It keeps working.
After you install it, GoRunRun Local AI runs on your Mac's own chip, with no connection at all. Use it on a plane, in a cabin, or on a network you don't trust.
What you can do
Chat about anything
Ask questions, plan trips, draft emails, write and explain code. Answers stream in as they're written.
Share photos and files
Drop in photos, screenshots, PDFs, Word and Excel files, audio or video, and ask about them.
Talk out loud
Have a spoken conversation and interrupt it any time, like talking to a person. It replies in under a second.
Create videos
Describe a scene and get a short video with sound, or bring one of your photos to life.
Private by design
- It runs on your Mac. The AI models are downloaded once and then run on your Mac’s own chip. Your chats, files and voice never leave the computer.
- No account, no tracking. There’s nothing to sign up for, and the app sends no usage data anywhere.
- Your choice when to go online. The internet is used only to download the models, and when you ask it to search or open a web page.
- Incognito chats are never saved and never used for memory.
Everyday questions
Plan a trip, draft an email, compare options or explain something new. Answers arrive in seconds, formatted with tables and lists when that helps.

“Plan a relaxed 3-day trip to Sedona in October for a family of 3 and dog - mom, dad, 13 year old son and a 7 year old darling dog named ‘Ridley Red’ - we like easy hikes, good food and stargazing. Keep it concise, with a table for the days.” Answered on a MacBook Pro in about 15 seconds, including three quick web searches.
See it make a video
“Make a 4-second video of a hot-air balloon drifting over red rock canyons at sunrise, with the soft roar of the burner and wind.” Created on a MacBook Pro in 53 seconds, with sound.
Animate your photos
Attach a photo and say what should happen. The people in it can move, smile and speak, with sound, all made on your Mac.
“Make my grumpy dad smile and say ‘You’re always right, son!’ in a deep voice with soothing background music.” Made from one photo on a MacBook Pro in 59 seconds, with sound.
Voice conversations
Talk to it out loud and interrupt any time, like talking to a person. It usually starts answering within a second, and it all happens on your Mac.
The lamp is blue while it listens, rose while it thinks and orange while it talks.
