Privacy-first AI tools builder

About

18-year-old indie developer from Greece building privacy-first software. Currently working on Kalynt, a local-first AI IDE that puts your code and data back under your control. I'm obsessed with offline-first architectures, real-time collaboration systems (CRDTs, WebRTC), and making powerful tools accessible on consumer hardware. Shipping products fast, learning in public, iterating based on feedback.

Kalynt - Local AI IDE. Your code stays yours.

Kalynt is a privacy-first AI IDE that runs entirely on your machine. Your code never leaves your computer unless you explicitly choose. Unlike Cursor or GitHub Copilot, Kalynt runs local LLMs (Qwen, Devstral 24B) directly on your hardware – even on 8GB RAM. Real-time P2P collaboration uses encrypted signals, not cloud servers. Built with AIME (context management engine), CRDTs, WebRTC. Open-core (AGPL-3.0). Beta v1.0 – shipping fast, iterating based on feedback.
