Controlled autonomous AI ยท on Apple Silicon

A private AI workspace that builds, remembers and reasons — on your Mac.

Cipher is a sovereign AI workspace for Apple Silicon. It routes models locally, keeps your secrets in an encrypted vault, remembers your work across projects, and takes real initiative under your control — all on-device, nothing handed to the cloud.

What Cipher can do

One workspace, the whole stack.

Built end-to-end — the thinking, the memory and the making all run on your own hardware.

Remembers like no chatbot

A layered memory: episodic recall, cross-thread semantic memory, a knowledge graph and a memory palace. Cipher carries the context of your work across sessions and projects — on-device.

Builds working software

App and website builders turn intent into real, runnable projects — this site’s sibling, a live personal portfolio, was generated by Cipher. Plus studios for legal, marketing, R&D and writing.

Reasons, with control

A multi-model council that debates and votes, ReAct and goal-oriented planners, goals and a self-improvement loop — all behind an operator on/off switch and approval gates.

Sees, speaks, creates

On-device vision, video generation and image tools, plus fully offline text-to-speech and voice — no cloud media APIs, no audio leaving the machine.

Codes and operates

A code brain, git, a persistent terminal, build pipelines and on-device model fine-tuning — Cipher works on your machine, as your machine.

Guards your data

An AES-256, machine-locked key vault, guardrails, a judge-and-sandbox safety loop and identity grounding keep it private, governed and in-bounds.

Routes the right model

Automatic local-and-hybrid routing picks a fast on-device model for most work and escalates only when a task genuinely needs it — sovereign by default, hybrid only when you choose.

Cipher Sense — every screen

One assistant across your Mac, iPhone, iPad, HomePod, Apple TV and Watch. The Mac is the brain; Apple’s on-device model is used purely as a multilingual translator in front of it.

The studios

Cipher doesn’t just chat — it produces.

Purpose-built studios turn a request into finished work, each in its own project space.

App Builder
Turns intent into runnable apps and websites, scaffolded and built end-to-end.
Legal
Draft and analyse documents — the deepest studio, for contracts, letters and review.
Marketing
Campaigns and channel content, on-message and ready to ship.
R&D
Research, experiments and structured investigation with reproducible outputs.
Writing
Long-form and structured writing, grounded in your own material.
Innovation
Idea to reality — from concept through to a buildable plan.
Photo
Image generation, upscaling and visual work, on-device.
The principle

Sovereign by default, hybrid only when you choose.

1
Local firstWork runs on your Apple-Silicon hardware. Your code, notes and context never leave the machine unless you explicitly route a task outward.
2
GuardedSecrets stay in the encrypted vault; per-project isolation and a safety loop keep one piece of work — and the AI — in-bounds.
3
RemembersA layered memory and knowledge graph grow with your projects, so the workspace gets more useful over time — entirely on-device.
Built for the billions the cloud forgot. Cipher is designed to run multilingual, offline-first, on a single Mac a whole community can share — sovereign AI for the people the subscription model leaves out. Controlled autonomous, on-device, truthful by design.
