private-ai-app-for-mac
Private AI on Mac should start with a choice.
Cloak is built around an explicit provider switch: keep prompts on-device with Apple Intelligence or local Llama, or use Claude/OpenAI only when you choose a BYOK cloud model.
see cloakWhat “private” means in Cloak
Apple Intelligence
On-device provider, no API key, no Yuzool account.
Local Llama
Runs locally after the model download, useful for offline or network-free prompts.
Claude / OpenAI
Cloud only when selected. You bring the API key, stored in macOS Keychain.
Telemetry
Cloak itself does not add analytics, accounts or usage tracking.
Best fit
Small private prompts
Use local providers for questions where you do not want another service in the loop.
BYOK flexibility
Keep the app simple and pay model providers directly only when you actually use them.
Terminal people
Cloak is intentionally keyboard-first, text-first and visually closer to a terminal than a chat product.
