Private, offline AI assistant for Mac. - Sal by HelloPartner.ai

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Sal because I was incredibly frustrated by the current state of AI. Every major assistant felt like a faceless corporate utility that demanded a monthly subscription, logged my conversations on a remote server, and used my data to train future models. I wanted a true partner, not a website. So, I built HelloPartner.ai. Sal is a completely private, offline-only AI assistant that runs natively on your Mac's Apple Silicon. Because the model actually lives on your hard drive, your data never leaves your machine. No telemetry, no cloud inference, no subscriptions. You buy it once, and you own the intelligence forever. 💻 Runs 100% locally on Apple M-Series Macs 🔒 Absolute privacy (works on an airplane without Wi-Fi) 🖼️ Native vision capabilities (both image understanding and generation) 📅 Syncs seamlessly with Apple Calendar and Reminders locally I'd love to know what features you all consider "mandatory" for an offline, local assistant! Drop your thoughts below—we are actively building the Beta right now.
