A voice assistant that lives on your PC and works with your own files.

Talk to it from your desk or your phone. Powered by your own Claude — your subscription or your API key. Nothing collected, no accounts, no telemetry: there is no server to send anything to.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Local first, actually

Your notes, chat history, and settings never leave your PC. The one thing that goes to the internet is your question to Claude — under your own account, exactly as if you'd typed it there yourself.

No middleman servers

Phone access rides your own private Tailscale network: your phone talks directly to your PC over an encrypted tunnel. Nothing transits anyone else's infrastructure — there is no relay, and no maintainer server to trust.

Safe by architecture

Adam proposes; you approve. File changes go through a review flow with automatic backups and an audit log. Zero telemetry and zero crash reporting — if you want to share diagnostics, you copy a redacted bundle yourself.

A real voice

An optional one-time download adds a natural on-device voice (the open-source Kokoro model) — speech is generated on your own hardware, not in the cloud.

QUICK START

  1. Download the ZIP and right-click → Extract All.
    Grab the file named adam-local-… .zip under Assets — not "Source code".
  2. Double-click SETUP in the extracted folder and follow the wizard — it installs everything for you.
    If Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" box, click More info → Run anyway. That's Windows being cautious about new apps; a signed installer arrives with v1.0.
  3. Sign in to Claude when the wizard asks (or paste your own Anthropic API key — both are first-class).
  4. Open Adam from the desktop icon and start talking.
  5. Optional: put it on your phone — the in-app wizard walks you through connecting over your own Tailscale network, and the app installs to your home screen like any other.
