Local AI for document search — Informity AI, runs entirely on-device

Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial] May 9, 2026

Wanted to share something I built that might be useful here.

Informity AI is a free, open source Mac app that indexes your local documents and answers questions from them — entirely on-device. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. After initial setup it works with no internet connection at all.

Full stack runs locally: model inference, embeddings, vector search, chat history. Web search is opt-in (off by default, requires your own API key, documents never involved even then).

MIT licensed, source is on GitHub if anyone wants to verify the privacy claims.

Happy to answer questions about the implementation or how to verify what network calls it makes (short answer: none, except optional web search with your key).
