Description
M1K3 is a comprehensive AI application designed specifically for macOS, focusing on privacy and local processing. Unlike many AI tools that rely on cloud services, M1K3 operates entirely on your Apple Silicon Mac, ensuring that your data remains private and secure. The app includes features such as local inference, live voice interaction, on-device speech recognition, and a knowledge graph that organizes your documents and memories. With its MCP server, M1K3 allows integration with other tools like Claude, enabling them to access your local knowledge base without sending data to the cloud.

M1K3 is free for personal use, with no account or subscription required. It is source-available under the Functional Source License, allowing users to view and build the source code while restricting commercial distribution. The app supports Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, and it is available for download from the Mac App Store, Homebrew, or as a DMG file.
The app's unique architecture includes three local AI models: Mini for instant responses, Lil for conversational tasks, and Big for more complex queries. Users can switch between these models as needed. M1K3 also features a Heartbeat function, which provides ambient updates about your machine and day, though this is off by default.
For organizations, M1K3 offers a Teams version that provides a shared AI brain across multiple devices, with institutional memory and a persona tailored to the organization. This version is licensed separately and runs on the organization's own hardware, ensuring that all data remains within the local network.
M1K3's commitment to privacy and local processing makes it a standout choice for users seeking a secure AI assistant that does not compromise on functionality.
