Kynora is an offline-first AI workspace for macOS, iPadOS, and iPhone. Upload documents, build a private knowledge base, and ask anything — all powered by open-source local AI models that never leave your device.
No configuration, no cloud account, no data leaving your device. Just import, ask, and verify.
Add PDF, DOCX, TXT, or Markdown files from your Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Files stay on your device — Kynora never uploads them anywhere.
Kynora chunks, embeds, and indexes your content into a private vector knowledge base using MLX or llama.cpp — no cloud processing involved.
Ask any question about your documents. Kynora retrieves the most relevant passages and generates a grounded answer using a local LLM running entirely on your hardware.
Every response links back to the exact page and passage it came from. You always know what the AI read — no black box, no untraceable hallucinations.
Most cloud AI tools send your documents to a remote server. Kynora runs the entire pipeline — models, embeddings, vector search — on your own hardware.
All inference, embeddings, and vector search run entirely on your device — using MLX framework, or llama.cpp on all other hardware. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Import PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files. Kynora indexes them into a local vector knowledge base — fully searchable, totally private.
Every response links back to the exact passage, page number, and document it came from. No black box — you always see what the model read.
Airplane mode, no Wi-Fi, remote cabin — Kynora never needs a network connection to think. Your knowledge base is always available, wherever you are.
Kynora is designed so your documents, queries, and conversation history never leave your device. No backend server. No accounts. No subscriptions. Model downloads go directly from the model provider to your device, not through Kynora.
Research case files, contracts, and regulatory documents without uploading privileged content to any third-party service.
Build a private library of papers, notes, and datasets. Ask cross-document questions and trace every claim back to its source.
Analyse internal reports, earnings calls, and strategic documents under NDA — with zero risk of data leakage.
Keep your research, interviews, and source material organised. Find any quote or fact in seconds — offline, always.
Agentic AI can plan, use tools, and act on your behalf — but that usually means more of your data leaves your device, not less. Here's how it differs from on-device RAG.
