Fluid

Fluid is a private Mac assistant powered by Meta Llama 3, providing AI capabilities similar to ChatGPT while prioritizing offline use and strong privacy.

Primarily designed for Macs with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later, the Fluid AI assistant runs locally on users' Macs. This ensures that all interactions and communications remain on the device, without needing connections to external servers or third parties.

This local operation enhances user data privacy. Fluid’s voice control lets users dictate inputs, guaranteeing that voice data stays on the device.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special skills. Once installed, the assistant can be launched by pressing Ctrl+Space.

Fluid emphasizes its security, having been validated by Apple. It runs in a secure app sandbox without needing an admin password and provides automatic updates.

Users have full control and can easily interrupt or stop Fluid’s operations. Future development plans include integrating web search, context awareness, and data memorization for a more tailored user experience.
