Archimedes
Your private AI library. Ask questions across thousands of your own documents — everything stays on your Mac.
A local-first AI reading room for the collection you don't want to hand over. Catalogue thousands of documents, ask a question, and get an answer with citations from every book that matters. The library, the model, and the answers all stay on your machine.
For
For anyone with a research archive, a book collection, or a corpus of sensitive work who wants an AI that can read across all of it in private.
What you get
- 01Ask across the whole shelfPose a question in plain English and get an answer with citations from every document that has something to say.
- 02Private by constructionThe model, the embeddings, and every answer run on your Mac. The library never leaves the machine unless you deliberately send it away.
- 03Bring your own key when you want moreSwap in any hosted provider on a per-question basis. Keys are encrypted in your Mac keychain and only leave when you invoke them.
- 04Imports that clean up after themselvesContent-based identity collapses duplicates. Metadata fills itself in from public catalogues and the model.
- 05Restart-safe by defaultClose the laptop mid-import and nothing is lost. Every long job is durable and resumes cleanly on next launch.
- 06Built to survive real workloadsHard process isolation keeps the app standing when a native model crashes. Background failures never take the interface down.
