Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the solo developer behind FortressDesk — and I wanted to share the real story behind why I built this.
I was helping small businesses adopt AI tools, and the same question kept coming up: "Where does our data actually go?" The honest answer was always uncomfortable. Invoices, meeting notes, internal strategy — all flowing through someone else's cloud.
So I spent 3 months building the answer: a fully offline AI secretary that runs entirely on your Windows machine using a local Ollama engine. No internet after setup. No accounts. No subscriptions. Your data never leaves your device — ever.
What surprised me most during development: packaging a FastAPI + Ollama stack into a single .exe that non-technical users can just double-click was the hardest engineering challenge. PyInstaller + uvicorn + self-signed TLS certs running locally — not trivial. But worth it.
FortressDesk is built for the professionals who need AI the most but can't afford the data risk: lawyers, accountants, healthcare workers, and security-conscious business owners.
I'd love your honest feedback — especially on pricing ($16.88 one-time) and what features matter most to you. 🙏
