Private, offline Claude & ChatGPT alternative for your Mac
1 follower
A private, offline alternative to Claude and ChatGPT for Apple silicon Macs. The paged MoE engine runs models bigger than your RAM — the 397B Plus tier on a 64 GB Mac. Chat plus a coding agent that reads your codebase, edits files and runs your tests, with Wi-Fi off. Free tiers stay free, no caps. Founders Lifetime is $249 once: no subscription, no renewal, 30-day money-back. macOS 26+, M1–M4.

Hi Product Hunt — Matthew, solo founder.
The problem: cloud AI meters you, caps you, and reads everything you type. I wanted the Mac on my desk to do the work instead.
Outlier runs chat and a coding agent on local models, entirely on Apple silicon. Turn Wi-Fi off and it still works. No account, no API key, nothing leaves the machine.
What it is not: GPT-5 in a box. On our bench it built a real engineering task unaided twice and wrote a doc page from a source without inventing a fact; it is worse than a frontier model at long prose. Ask and I will post the bench notes here, failures included.
Free tiers stay free. Founders Lifetime is $249 once, no subscription, 14-day money-back. There are 25 founding seats at that price, then it goes up — the site shows how many are left.
One question for you: what is the one task you would never send to a cloud model? That is the benchmark I will run next.
