Mane AI is a native macOS app that lets you search and chat with your documents, code, images, and audio — all using local AI. Unlike cloud-based tools, everything runs on your Mac. No uploads. No accounts. No data harvesting.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Mane AI because I was tired of cloud AI tools asking me to upload my private documents. I wanted something that just works — on my Mac, offline, with no sign-ups or data leaving my machine.
The idea is simple: index your files once, then ask questions in plain English. "Find that contract from last year" or "What code handles authentication?" — Mane AI searches by meaning, not keywords.
It's fully open source, runs on Ollama, and supports documents, code, images, and audio.
I'd love your feedback:
1. What file types would you want supported next?
2. Any features that would make this more useful for your workflow?
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
Does this support an OpenAI API endpoint? I run Ollama and LM Studio on a beefier machine on my LAN/Tailnet.
Congrats on the launch! It sounds really interesting, and this was a pain I had in the past.
Nowadays, I've been keeping most of my files in the cloud, sometimes with a local copy. It would be awesome if ManePaw could also connect with my Google Drive or DropBox for example.
That would be a hell of a tool. Find your files, anywhere!
