Private AI that answers from your own documents, on Mac and Windows
Files, folders, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, slides and scans are read and indexed on your own computer rather than uploaded to a third-party service.
Every response cites the underlying file plus the page, slide or sheet it came from, so you can open and verify the passage yourself.
Names, email addresses and phone numbers are hidden before a question leaves your device, and you can view exactly what was masked under each answer.
Use the default Elephas gateway, plug in your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini API key, or download a local model so answers are generated on your computer with nothing sent.
A paid, ad-free search engine that answers to its users
Subscriptions replace advertising, so there are no sponsored results, affiliate links, or data sales influencing what you see.
Rank any website up or down, pin favorites, or block domains entirely so your results match your own standards.
Append a question mark to get an AI answer above the results, or chat with the Assistant for deeper tasks with sources included.
Restrict searches to categories like forums or news, or jump straight into a specific site's own search with shortcuts.
