Your AI should belong to you.
Sovernity makes private AI apps that run on your own Mac.

Why Sovernity
AI is becoming the place where people think out loud. They ask it about their work, their health, their families, their worries. What you tell it is some of the most personal information you have.
Most AI today lives on someone else's computer. Your words travel to a company's servers, and what the AI learns about you stays there. You rent access to it, on their terms, at their price.
Sovernity is built on a different idea.
Yours.
What you say, and what your AI learns from it, should belong to you. It should live on hardware you own, be readable by you, and be deletable by you. Privacy should be the default, not a setting.
Open to everyone.
A capable, private AI shouldn't depend on a subscription or an account. Open models now run well on a recent Mac. That makes it possible to give people good AI that is free to use and free from tracking, with nothing to sign up for.

The name
Sovernity comes from sovereignty: the right to govern yourself. For AI, that means the model, your words and what it learns all sit on hardware you own, under your control.
04
How Sovernity builds
Small and careful.
A few apps, each built to do one thing well.
On your devices.
Every app runs its model on your Mac. None of them talks to a company server.
Nothing collected.
No accounts, no analytics, and no crash reporting built in. (If you choose to share data with app developers in your Apple settings, Apple may pass crash reports on to us.)
Honest about limits.
Each app says plainly what it does, what it can't do, and what leaves your computer.

Who is Sovernity
Sovernity is me, Milo Shieber. I studied computer science and psychology at Harvard, and I build Sovernity on my own. Ursa sits where those two fields meet: software that remembers what matters to you and keeps it private.
