Your entire knowledge base,
instantly askable.
A personal, grounded AI assistant for your second brain. Grounded in your own notes, with optional web search for the gaps.
Native integration with every frontier model, plus fully local
Bring your own API key — or run 100% offline with a local model.
Notes are where great ideas
go to hide.
You've spent years building a digital garden in Obsidian or Markdown. But when you actually need an answer, you're stuck digging through folders, chasing broken tags, and losing your flow. Your “Second Brain” has become a digital junk drawer.
You don't need more notes.
You need a way to talk to the ones you already have.
One keypress to remember everything.
QuickAI brings the power of a large language model to your local file system. Your notes aren't used to train anything, and we never store your content. Just instant recall of every thought you've ever recorded.
See it in action
One window.
Fully local, if you want it.
Press ⌃⇧Space, ask your notes, and see the file every answer came from. This demo runs Google's Gemma 4 locally through Ollama.
How it works
Five primitives,
one keypress.
Every answer traces back to a file.
Grounded, not guessed. Every claim ships with a clickable link to the exact markdown file it came from.
Today's chat
is tomorrow's context.
Save any chat back to your notes as a summarized markdown file. Your assistant's memory compounds.
Highlight, then
ask.
Highlight text anywhere on your Mac, press ⌃⇧Space, and it comes along as context.
We never store
your notes.
On-device by default. BYOK for frontier. We never store your content.
Your model,
your key.
Plug in GPT-5.4, Claude 4.7, Gemini 3.1 — whatever you already pay for. Or run fully offline with a local MoE model via Ollama. Your tokens stay in your keychain. We never see them.

Common questions.
Everything you need to know about privacy, licensing, and local AI.
Is my data private?
QuickAI itself has no server — nothing you do routes through us, and we never store your notes or conversations. Two modes: with your own API key, requests go straight to the provider you chose (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) under your account — not us, and not used to train models. Or go fully on-device with a local model, where nothing leaves your Mac at all.
Which AI models do you support?
Bring your own key for frontier models — GPT-5.4, Claude 4.7 Opus, or Gemini 3.1 Pro. That's what most people use, and your key stays in your Mac's keychain. If you'd rather stay fully offline, QuickAI runs Google's Gemma 4 locally through Ollama and suggests the right size for your Mac: 12B on 16 GB, 26B on 32 GB and up. Llama and Qwen work too. It takes a few minutes to set up, and nothing leaves the device.
What does 'Lifetime License' really mean?
You pay once, and the version of QuickAI you buy is yours forever. No monthly 'rent' for your own knowledge. This license includes one full year of feature updates. After that, you can keep using your version forever or renew for another year of updates.
Does it work with my existing notes?
Yes. QuickAI is a 'read-only' layer that sits on top of your existing folders. It works with Obsidian, Apple Notes, and any folder of Markdown or PDF files. No vendor lock-in, ever.
