Apps directory
What plugs into your local AI runtime. 39 curated apps across 12 categories — chat UIs, coding agents, RAG pipelines, voice, image, browser extensions, editor plugins, mobile + desktop, agent frameworks, productivity, SDK wrappers.
Each entry carries an honest editorial verdict — pros, cons, the runtime it works against, the minimum VRAM, and the privacy posture. Filter to your stack, jump to the detail page, ship.

PrivateGPT
Air-gappable RAG over your docs. The OG offline-RAG project, now mature and team-friendly.
“Best when air-gap compliance is the requirement. Less polished than AnythingLLM, more configurable.”
Khoj
Self-hosted AI assistant for your notes, emails, docs. Web + mobile + desktop, all local-first.
“Best 'AI second brain' app. Self-hosted, local-first, works against Obsidian.”
Verba
Weaviate's open-source RAG demo turned production. Strong defaults, opinionated stack.
“Best for 'don't make me choose chunking strategy' teams. Opinionated stack works.”

Editorial review applies — same standards as the rest of the site. We won't list apps that don't actually work against a local runtime, regardless of marketing claims.
