Run AI locally without learning how local AI works.
opnlocal checks your device, finds AI models that actually fit, downloads one, benchmarks it, and lets you chat privately on your own hardware.
Free and open source. No account. No telemetry.
Your hardware. Your model. Your AI.
There are hundreds of models and dozens of ways to shrink each one. opnlocal reads what your device has and offers only what fits, so you pick between a few plain choices instead of a spreadsheet.
How it works
-
Check your device
opnlocal checks memory, graphics, processor and free storage.
-
Tell it what you need
Everyday help, coding, writing, or private documents.
-
Pick from a few recommendations
Not hundreds of model names and quantization options. Just Recommended, Lighter & faster, or Stronger, but tight.
-
Chat locally
The model runs on your own device. It's measured there first, so you know how fast it really replies.
Why opnlocal
Tools like Ollama and LM Studio are great when you already know which model and settings you want. opnlocal is for everyone else: it removes the technical choices instead of exposing them.
