LocalMode
Run AI entirely in your browser, no servers or API keys
What this is
An open-source toolkit for building AI features — chat, RAG, speech, vision — that runs entirely in the browser with no servers and no data leaving the device. Built for developers.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- An open-source toolkit for running AI entirely in the browser: LLM chat across 76 models, RAG and vector search, Whisper and Kokoro speech, and vision, with no server or API key required. Runs on WebGPU with a WebAssembly fallback.
- What's different
- Data never leaves the device, and it ships a zero-dependency core plus a shadcn UI registry of 107 components and 36 installable blocks for building on top of it.
- Pricing
- Open source (MIT license).
- Best for
- Developers building browser-based AI features without standing up servers or managing API keys.

Quiet for 1 day — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Devhunt with 2 votes. It also showed up on 4 other boards — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

It runs on WebGPU with a WebAssembly fallback and works offline after the initial model download.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
