Localtalk: A Mac app using local WisprKit, to talk to your computer PRIVATELY

Localtalk is a macOS app that lets you run a large language model (like ChatGPT, but open‑source) entirely on your own computer, without sending data to the cloud. It uses a local backend called WisprKit. - "WisprKit" is a private, offline inference engine — it runs AI models directly on your machine's hardware (e.g., Apple Silicon's Neural Engine or GPU). This is different from using ChatGPT or Claude, where your prompts are sent to remote servers. - The app addresses growing privacy concerns around cloud‑based AI assistants: no data leaves your device, no logs on a third‑party server. - Running models locally usually means smaller or slower models than the biggest cloud ones, but the trade‑off is total privacy and no subscription fees. - Localtalk is one of several "local AI chat" apps for Mac; others include Ollama, LM Studio, and Anything LLM. What makes it notable is its simplicity and focus on a native Mac experience.
