Aspen — Own your intelligence - ChatGPT-style AI that runs on your desktop + phone. Free.

Open source AI can be hard to set up. Aspen fixes that. Download one app (Mac, Windows, iPhone), open it, and Aspen detects your hardware, recommends a model, and gets you chatting in minutes. No command line, no config. Models run locally on Ollama, but you don't need to know/care about that. You own all your data, but Aspen is way more than a wrapper: built-in tools, live code artifacts, voice chat, file uploads, and an OpenAI-compatible API to plug into Cursor or Zapier. Free forever.
