Brae – Private AI Assistant
Private local AI assistant
Free
Brae is a local-first AI assistant for daily work and personal notes. It gives you a calm place to chat, capture ideas, review meetings, and keep useful context on your device.
Use Brae to:
- Chat with an on-device assistant for everyday questions and drafts.
- Talk in Live mode, with typed fallback when speech is unavailable.
- Use See World to ask about what the camera sees, powered by an on-device vision model when available.
- Capture Meeting Notes, edit the transcript, and save it to your Library.
- Review saved notes, call records, imported files, and generated artifacts in Library.
- Keep Today focused on local follow-ups from your own notes and calls.
- Manage local models in Model Setup, including downloads you explicitly choose.
- Control privacy-sensitive features from Settings.
Brae is built around local-first behavior. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Your chats, transcripts, notes, files, memory, and settings stay on your device by default. Brae does not operate a Bubustudio backend that stores your content.
Network use is explicit and user-initiated:
- Model downloads happen only when you choose to download a local model from Hugging Face.
- Location, nearby-place, destination, and route lookups use Apple MapKit and Core Location only when you ask.
- Optional iCloud sync is off by default and, when enabled, uses your private CloudKit database.
- Optional web search is off by default. When enabled, Brae sends the search query to DuckDuckGo’s keyless Instant Answer API so results can be returned.
