zanto

A private, local-first AI workspace
for your desktop.

Private, local-first AI for your desktop. Bring your own model — or run fully offline with Ollama. It works your files, runs tools and renders charts, with focused apps like personal finance. Nothing leaves your machine.

macOS · Windows · Linux — unsigned builds, install in seconds.

Works with

Anthropic OpenAI Gemini Groq xAI DeepSeek Together Fireworks Cohere Ollama

You own the stack

Bring your own API key (stored in the OS keychain), or run fully offline against local Ollama. No middleman server, ever.

10+ providers, one app

Switch models live across Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek and more. Tune generation params globally or per provider.

Real tools, with consent

Read, write, search and edit files; run shell commands; fetch the web; parse PDFs and Office docs — every file action is permission-gated.

Artifacts, not just chat

Answers render as charts, tables, metrics and documents — inline or on a side canvas. Pin the ones worth keeping.

Sessions that survive

SQLite-backed, crash-safe and resumable, with automatic context summarization for long conversations.

Apps on the same engine

Focused micro-apps on top of the same private engine — starting with Personal Finance: transactions, budgets, accounts and net worth, all local.

Private by design.

zanto runs on your machine and talks directly to the model provider you choose — or to a model running locally. Your files, keys and conversations stay with you.
