Open-sourced a web client that lets any device use Apple's on-device AI
I use Claude every day but there are things I will not type into a cloud service. I have a Mac with Apple Silicon running Apple Foundation Models locally and privately. But I was not always at my Mac. So we built Perspective Intelligence Web. One Mac runs Perspective Server. Any device on your network opens a browser and chats with Apple Intelligence through it. Phone, Windows laptop, Chromebook, Linux machine. Streaming responses, token by token. Nothing leaves your network. MIT License. Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind. Full writeup:…
Open-sourced a web client that lets any device use Apple's on-device AI launched on March 4, 2026 with 10 votes, #1,177 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Perspective Intelligence Web is an open-source browser-based client that allows any device on a home network to access Apple's on-device AI models running on a Mac with Apple Silicon. One Mac runs the server while phones, laptops, and other devices connect through a web browser to chat with Apple Foundation Models locally, with responses streaming token by token. All processing stays within the network and nothing is sent to external services. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, it is available under the MIT License.

Open-source AI chat app powered by Apple Foundation Models. Runs in any browser. Self-hosted. Private. No cloud. - Techopolis/perspective-intelligence-web-community
Apple Intelligence is powerful. Most people just do not have the right interface for it. This is that interface. An open-source AI chat app that runs in any browser on any device. Windows. Android. Linux. Chromebooks. Anything. All powered by Apple Foundation Models running locally on your Mac. We built Perspective Intelligence as a native Mac and iOS app. People loved it. But not everyone has a Mac in front of them all day. Your Mac is already running Apple Intelligence. It is sitting there with a powerful on-device model doing nothing most of the time. Perspective Intelligence Web puts that power in a browser so every device in your home or office can use it. No cloud. No API keys. No…from github.com

Browserfly2025 · browserfly.app · ▲203Hey Hackers! I've had this idea stuck in my head for a while: what if an AI could actually use my browser for me? I mean, not on some virtual machine in the cloud like ChatGPT agent, but right on my own browser. I finally decided to just build it and see what would happen. I wrote a quick MVP, and honestly, I didn't expect much. But then... it started doing things. On its own. It figured out how to use search engine to find what I needed, read a webpage to answer my questions, and even it can organize my chaotic mess of tabs into neat groups. It was a genuine "whoa" moment for me. That's…
Owl BrowserJan 2026 · owlbrowser.net · ▲145I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…
Axis OneNov 2025 · axis-one-psi.vercel.app · ▲78I’ve been building a small hardware box that runs local LLMs like Mistral, Qwen and Llama, and exposes an OpenAI compatible API on your local network. There’s no cloud, no login system and no telemetry. I built it because a lot of small firms want ChatGPTbstyle tools but can’t use cloud AI for privacy or compliance reasons, and most don’t want to deal with GPU servers, drivers, Docker or model configs. The aim is to make local AI feel as simple as plugging in a router. Right now the box boots into a very simple web UI where you choose a model and start using it. The API follows the OpenAI…
