SearchQ

Live

Routes your question to the best of 100+ AI models and fact-checks the answer with a second model, letting you choose how private each chat stays.

FreeWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
A best-model router picks the top AI model for each question across 100+ models; a second model fact-checks the answer and flags unsupported claims, and answers cite sources via always-on web search.
What's different
Lets you choose how private each chat is: a Cloud encrypted enclave that can't read your prompts, fully local/offline in your browser, or an incognito mode with zero data retention that never trains on your data.
Pricing
The fully local, offline browser mode is free.
Best for
People who want control over how private their AI chats are, without giving up answer quality.

Use Less AI

Live

A macOS app to help you notice and resist reflexively reaching for AI tools before trying to solve a problem yourself, a habit and focus tool, not an AI blocker.

Free
What to know▼
How it works
A macOS app that inserts a moment of reflection before you open an AI tool like ChatGPT or Claude, prompting you to think about what you've already tried, and locally tracks how often you reach for AI versus solve things yourself.
What's different
Encourages more deliberate AI use rather than blocking AI apps outright.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
People who notice themselves reflexively reaching for AI before attempting a problem and want to rebuild the habit of trying first.
