Sovernity Chat · for macOS

A local AI with hands on your files — and it never phones home.

Runs open-weights Qwen models locally on Apple Silicon — no account, no cloud, no API key.

No automatic network activity, ever, in the default configuration — and nothing about your files or conversations is transmitted in any configuration. The only connections are ones you start or switch on: the first-run model download and optional update checks.

Download for Mac Free during beta.

See the app

The chat view. A pending change to a Markdown file is shown as a line-by-line diff, with Deny and Approve buttons beneath it.
Every change is previewed, approved by you, logged, and undoable — and deletes go to a recoverable trash.
The Folders pane, listing granted folders with their access setting, indexing status, and a control to revoke access.
You choose which folders the app can see, using the standard macOS folder picker. Folder access is enforced by macOS itself — the App Sandbox — not just by our code.
The Activity pane, listing file actions by date with the file changed and links to view the diff or undo it.
The Activity pane: a record of every file action.
A confirmation dialog asking whether to delete a chat, describing what deleting it removes.

How it works

  1. Set up once

    On first run the app downloads one AI model, matched to your Mac's memory — about 3 GB on an 8 GB Mac, about 6 GB at 16–24 GB, and about 20.5 GB on 32 GB or more. After that everything runs on-device — no further downloads needed.

  2. Grant a folder

    You choose which folders the app can see, using the standard macOS folder picker.

    Folder access is enforced by macOS itself — the App Sandbox — not just by our code.

  3. Approve every change

    Every change is previewed, approved by you, logged, and undoable — and deletes go to a recoverable trash.

Privacy

Your files and conversations never leave your Mac. Sovernity never receives your data — there is no third party to trust, and nothing for us to breach.

Verifiably local: after setup, zero network egress in default use — capture the packets yourself.

Delete means gone from the app — messages, files, traces, immediately and permanently. There's no cloud copy because there is no cloud. (Your own backups, like Time Machine, are yours and stay yours.)
