Nothing leaves your machine. Full stop.

Privacy built in, not bolted on

All data at ~/.skales-data

Every conversation, memory, and setting is stored at ~/.skales-data on your own machine. Nobody else can access it. Ever.

API keys encrypted locally

Your API keys are encrypted using your OS keychain. They are never transmitted to any server - not ours, not anyone's.

Ollama for fully offline operation

Connect Ollama and run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi locally. Zero internet traffic. Zero data exposure. Fully air-gapped if needed.

No account, no login, no registration

Download and run. No email address, no account creation, no subscription portal, no profile to create. Just install and use.

No telemetry by default

Analytics are strictly opt-in. If you choose to enable them, only app version and OS type are reported - never conversation content.

BSL-1.1 - read every line

Skales is source-available under BSL-1.1. You can read the entire codebase on GitHub and verify exactly what it does and does not do.

For businesses in the EU

Your DPO will love it.

Skales processes no personal data on external servers. Conversations stay on the user's device. There is no data processing agreement to negotiate, no GDPR Article 28 controller-processor relationship, no data transfer outside the EU. When using Ollama, the product is fully compliant without any additional configuration.
