A new kind of personal AI. Made from your own work and words, and living on your own machine, Sublunar is the first AI that is truly yours to keep.

FIG 0.1

Made from you

Shaped by your notes, your writing and the way you think. Nobody else's. The more you use it, the more it sounds like you, and that shape never leaves your Mac.

FIG 0.2

Kept on your machine

It runs on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and it still works offline. Pull the Wi-Fi and it answers the same, because nothing was ever on the other side of the wire.

FIG 0.3

Yours to keep

The model is a file you own. Keep it, move it, hand it on. If you ever stop paying, you keep every version you have.

FIG 0.4

Only the question leaves

When it needs the web, it shows you the exact question first, with names and numbers removed, and waits for your yes. Everything else stays behind the door, on your Mac.

Glim Fast and Glim Deep are built on open models from Qwen (Apache-2.0), served through open tooling from Hugging Face and Ollama. MacBook Air speeds are measured on an M5 MacBook Air with 16 GB; other Macs are estimates. Glim Deep's 96% is its average score across 9 public benchmarks against the full-size 27B model.

Search,
with permission

A local model doesn't know today's rules or prices, so Glim can look things up. Before anything goes online, it strips out names and numbers, shows you the exact question, and waits for your yes.

  1. 1
    Stays here

    Your files, chats and memory never leave your Mac. Glim read the bill locally and answered the first half from it.

  2. 2
    Cleaned

    A tiny on-device model removes names, numbers and anything that points at you from the question before it is even shown to you.

  3. 3
    Your call

    You see the exact search and choose: once, always for this chat, or not at all. Nothing goes out until you tap Allow.

  4. 4
    Sourced

    Answers from the web always show where they came from, so you can check the page yourself.

  5. 5
    Counted

    Every chat ends with the receipt: how many questions were sent and how many personal details. Usually one and none.

FIG 0.5

Offline, it still answers

Flip the switch and Glim never goes online. No search, no tools, nothing leaves. It keeps working from what is already on your Mac: your notes, your files, and the memory it built with you.

Offline modeOne switch turns every tool off. 100% local.
