Three tools · one philosophy

Pick your doorway. Private, local, and well-made — we make the small things we want to use. ↓ Choose one

I · Aricode

A coding agent,
for local models.

CLI + Electron desktop. Persistent knowledge graph, autonomous dreaming, default-deny safety. Works with Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible provider.

v0.5.2 · macOS · Node Enter
II · AriCore

Private AI,
in your pocket.

iPhone app. Run local GGUF models on-device, or pair to Aricode over end-to-end encryption. Free on the App Store — no accounts, no analytics.

v0.5.1 · iOS 17+ Enter
III · Aridesk Preview

A staff of agents,
on your desk.

Approval-gated personal agents on your Mac — research, inbox, calendar, shopper. Each with its own browser, persona, and pinned workspace. Sensitive calls stall on your phone before they fire. You message them from AriCore.

§ Field guide · AriCore

A library of skills
you can hand to Ari.

A curated set of small tools — search the web, send a message, capture a thought. Copy a code, review what it does, add it to your assistant.

§ One philosophy
I

Private by construction.

E2E encryption between devices. Keys in the Keychain or on disk, never in a server. The relay sees ciphertext.

II

Local first.

Your model, your keys, your hardware. If the network's down, the tools still work.

III

Well-made.

No onboarding maze. No upsells. No dark patterns. Small, opinionated, considered.
