Klee for Web

Snapshot

Klee is a desktop-focused AI assistant for managing files and tasks that keeps all processing on your machine. It’s built to preserve privacy by avoiding cloud transfers and running everything locally, while providing advanced language-model capabilities to help organize and interact with your documents.

Platform, architecture, and models

• Runs as a native macOS application implemented with Swift and SwiftUI for a smooth, integrated user experience.
• Relies on open-source large language models such as Llama 3 and Mistral to power its intelligent features.
• Designed for offline operation so user files and queries never leave the device.
• Desktop-first design targeted at efficient file and task handling without needing external services.

Key capabilities

• Converts ordinary notes into brainstorming workspaces, making idea development and quick iteration easier.
• Employs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methods to pull up relevant local content when you query.
• Segments longer documents into manageable chunks and organizes them into a private local knowledge base for fast lookup.
• Presents advanced AI-driven tools for organizing, searching, and displaying files stored on the computer.

Privacy and data handling

Klee’s local-only approach means data remains on your machine: documents are indexed and processed locally, the knowledge base is stored privately, and nothing is transmitted to third-party cloud servers. This setup reduces exposure of sensitive information while keeping AI features available.

Paid alternative

• Lotlinx (commercial) — a paid alternative worth considering for teams or users who prefer an externally supported, subscription-based solution.
