Meet Vokter

Your assistant. On your machine. Answering to you alone.

Vokter is a private AI that lives on your computer — it knows you, works with your documents, and keeps your reminders, fully offline. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. What it does today is real and shipping in the app. Where it's going is on the roadmap below — clearly marked, and never oversold.

On the roadmap · Coming

Where Vokter is going.

Not yet — and we won't pretend otherwise. These are in the works, built in the open. None of it is live today.

Acts on the web for youComing

Bookings and purchases it carries out — only with your approval, step by step.

Bills & price-scanningComing

Manages your bills and scans overnight for a better price, so you don't have to.

Delegates to specialist agentsComing

Hands sub-tasks to focused agents and brings the result back to you.

Telegram & messagingComing

Reach it from the apps you already use, not just the desktop window.

MobileComing

Vokter in your pocket, paired to the machine back home.

Safe web actionsComing

How it will act without exposing you: single-use cards per purchase, emails from its own address (never as you), sign-ins that never see your password.

This is the plan, not the product. Everything above is on the roadmap — follow the work in the open on GitHub.
How it works

Ask. It works on your machine. You get a cited answer.

The whole loop happens on your computer — your question, your documents, your answer. Nothing is sent anywhere.

  1. You ask
    Ask in plain language — about your files, your dates, your admin.
  2. It works on your machine
    Vokter reads your local memory and your documents, right there on your computer. No server, no network call.
  3. You get a cited answer
    It replies and shows exactly where the answer came from — a page in your own document.

How it's protected

A vault, not a pipe.

Most assistants are pipes to a distant server. Vokter is a vault on your desk — sealed, sandboxed, and opened only by you.

ODEL · SEALED
CONCERN
HOW VOKTER HANDLES IT
Data at rest
Encrypted on disk; key held in your OS keyring, never transmitted.
Execution
Sandboxed processes with no outbound network unless you allow it.
Memory
Stored locally. Nothing is synced, pooled, or used for training.
Actions
Anything with consequence — sending, browsing, acting — is human-confirmed.
Architecture

Everything stays on one machine.

No cloud arrows. No round trips. The boundary is your device.

Why Vokter

Three reasons it holds up.

01 · Yours

It's yours

Runs on your own machine. Your data is never pooled, synced, or used to train anyone's model — there's no server to pool it on.

no server · no pool
02 · Free

Free forever

No subscription, no per-token bill, no seats. There's no cloud cost to pass on, so there's nothing to charge — the one thing a cloud product can't match.

€0 · forever
03 · Open

Open & verifiable

Fully open source under AGPL-3.0. Anyone can read what it does and prove it. You don't have to trust us — you can check.

Why not the cloud

What only a local assistant can promise.

Cloud assistants can be excellent. But some promises depend on where the software runs — and only a local, open app can make these.

Encrypted-cloud assistants protect your data well — but they still run on someone else's servers, need an account, and depend on a business that can change its price or shut down. A local, open app has none of those dependencies.
Pricing
Free. Forever.

No account, no subscription, no per-token. The full assistant, free — and it stays that way.

No subscription No per-token No account

Because Vokter runs on your own machine, there's no server bill to pass on — so there's nothing to charge. Local means no cloud cost. That's the whole reason it can be free, and the one thing a cloud product can't copy.

Runs on hardware you already own. That's the whole price.
If we ever offer an optional confidential-compute bridge for very weak hardware, it'll be exactly that — optional and separate. Vokter itself stays free.

From the manifesto
“In old Norse law, odel was the right that bound a family to its land — a right no lord could sever and no debt could seize. What was yours stayed yours, across generations. Vokter carries that right into the digital age: your data, your memory, held by you alone.”

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Is it really free?
Yes — genuinely. Vokter is open source and runs on your own computer, so there's no server for us to pay for and nothing to meter. No account, no subscription, no per-token bill.
Does my data leave my computer?
No. Everything runs locally — there's no telemetry and nothing is synced to a cloud. Your files and memory are encrypted on disk, and the key lives in your OS keyring.
What can it do today, and what's coming later?
Today it's a local assistant: chat that remembers you, chat with your documents (with citations), reminders, and voice — all offline. Acting on the web, bills, delegation and mobile are on the roadmap, clearly marked above under “What it does today” and “On the roadmap”.
What hardware do I need?
Everyday laptops are fine. Vokter automatically picks a model sized to your machine — a light one on modest hardware, a more capable one if you have a stronger CPU or GPU. More power means faster, sharper answers, but you don't need a gaming rig to start.
Is it really open source?
Yes — AGPL-3.0. You can read every line, verify what it does, and build it yourself. View the source on GitHub.
