Off Grid AI answers a simple frustration: every AI app seemed to want your data on someone else’s computer. This new tool runs AI models on the phone and computer you already own — private, free and open source, with no account required and no server in between.

On your phone, Off Grid AI lets you chat, read documents, ask about photos, talk out loud and make images — with the Wi-Fi off. On your computer, it adds a memory of your day: meetings are transcribed on your own machine, with no bot joining the call, and you can ask what you promised someone and get an answer that cites its source.
Off Grid AI: Private AI That Runs on Your Own Devices
The maker’s pitch is blunt: phones and laptops are now fast enough that sending your notes, meetings and inbox to a cloud server is optional. Off Grid AI keeps everything local. Actions are also kept under your control — it drafts the email, ticket or invite, but nothing goes out until you approve it.
Sync works device to device: your phone can use your Mac’s bigger models, with no company server in between. For developers, there is one OpenAI-compatible API on your own machine for every model you download.
Off Grid AI Price and Availability: Free, Open Source, Pro Lifetime Deal
The free app is open source, available on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux, and the maker reports 250,000+ downloads and 3,300+ stars so far. Pro adds memory, approved actions, Sync, Vault and Clipboard across 5 devices. For launch day only, Product Hunt lists Pro lifetime at $79.99 instead of $119 — a launch-day price as stated by the maker, not a permanent price.
If you want AI help without handing your data to a cloud service, Off Grid AI is built for exactly that trade-off: local models, local memory, and approval before anything leaves your device.
