snug desktop

Private by construction.

The desktop app is Snug at full strength: your .snug file on your own disk, your API keys or a local model via Ollama, no account, no telemetry — and connections a browser tab structurally cannot make.

Universal binary — Apple silicon and Intel. Requires macOS. Windows and Linux are planned after 1.0.

What the desktop unlocks

Everything stays home

Your file lives at ~/Snug, readable with any SQLite tool, optionally sealed with a passphrase only you hold. Sync it to a provider you choose — or don't.

Apps that reach your devices

Philips Hue on your LAN. Your personal WhatsApp as a linked device. Ollama running beside the app. All governed: every grant is one you approved, frozen by the host.

You choose the intelligence

Bring an Anthropic or OpenAI key, point at a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and pin a model per app. Your credentials stay in your own file and are attached by your machine's own executor — never by a server of ours.

Updates are offered, never pushed

The app checks for releases and asks. Update artifacts are cryptographically signed; nothing installs without your click, and "later" is always an answer.
