Most assistants run in someone else's cloud.
Adam works for you — not on you.
Private by architecture, not by promise.
Privacy policies can change. Architecture can't be walked back — Adam is built so there is simply no server of ours in the loop.
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 — no relay, no maintainer server to trust.
Safe by design
Adam proposes; you approve. File changes go through a review flow with automatic backups and an audit log. Zero telemetry, zero crash reporting — diagnostics only leave your machine if you copy them 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.
Nothing to collect, nothing to leak.

adam-local-… .zip under Assets — not "Source code".SETUP in the extracted folder — the wizard installs everything for you.
Three things. Two of them are free.
A Windows 10/11 PC
This is where Adam lives. The setup wizard installs Python and Claude Code automatically if they're missing.
Your own Claude
A Claude Pro/Max subscription, or an Anthropic API key with a monthly budget Adam will not exceed.
Optional: Tailscale
Free for personal use — install it on your PC and phone for private remote access from anywhere.
