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.
Built end-to-end — the thinking, the memory and the making all run on your own hardware.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A code brain, git, a persistent terminal, build pipelines and on-device model fine-tuning — Cipher works on your machine, as your machine.
An AES-256, machine-locked key vault, guardrails, a judge-and-sandbox safety loop and identity grounding keep it private, governed and in-bounds.
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.
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.
Purpose-built studios turn a request into finished work, each in its own project space.
