Per-Calendar Permissions: Grant AI access calendar by calendar, with optional write access and an access log.
Calendar Sharing: Share a calendar with another person without exposing the underlying account.
Credit-Based AI Usage: Monthly AI credits cover event searches, availability checks and event edits, with optional top-ups.
GDPR Compliance: Hosted in Germany with data-protection-focused design.

A freelancer mirrors client calendars into one personal calendar while hiding event details behind busy blocks.
A manager with several roles keeps Outlook, Google and iCloud calendars synchronized to avoid double bookings.

Base Compute

Free

A macOS app that runs chat, coding and meeting AI entirely on your own Mac, with no cloud, no account and no per-token cost.

BaseRT Chip-Tuned Engine: Base Compute's inference runtime compiles for your specific Apple silicon on first launch, claiming up to 5.4x more tokens per second than engines other local apps ship.
Privacy Mode: Every request runs on the Mac and no data leaves the device — memories are stored locally, and facts marked sensitive are pinned to the machine permanently.
In-Folder Agentic Coding: Point Local at a project and it reads, edits and runs code in place without ever uploading the codebase.
On-Device Meeting Transcription: Meetings are transcribed locally with speakers labelled, so recordings and transcripts never reach a third-party service.
Memory You Can Edit: A short, fully visible list of lasting facts about you that you can review, edit or delete, rather than an opaque profile.
Memory-Aware Model Recommendations: Local reads your chip and RAM (8-16 GB, 24 GB, or 32-128 GB tiers) and suggests which open models will actually run well.
Office Mode: Serve the largest model from your fastest machine — Mac Studio, AMD Strix Halo, NVIDIA DGX Spark or an on-prem server — and reach it from Local on every laptop in the office.
Cost and Speed Analytics: A dashboard showing tokens processed, per-model throughput, and the equivalent cloud API cost you avoided.

Confidential Document Review: Drop a contract or PDF into chat and get a summary without the file ever touching a cloud provider.
Regulated-Industry Coding: Work agentically inside a proprietary codebase at a firm whose policy forbids uploading source to external AI services.
Private Meeting Notes: Transcribe internal calls with speaker attribution while keeping the audio on the laptop.
Zero-Marginal-Cost Experimentation: Run heavy prompt iteration without watching a per-token meter, since inference happens on hardware you already own.
Small-Office AI Server: Host a large open model on the one powerful Mac in the office and let the whole team query it from their own laptops.
Offline Fieldwork: Keep a full chat and coding assistant available on a flight or at a site with no reliable connectivity.
Hybrid Frontier Access: Keep everyday work local and connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic key only for the rare job that needs a frontier model.
