modalis

The context layer for your AI, your team and your company.

modalis turns everything you and your team work on into one private, cited context, built on your own Macs and shared with every AI and teammate you choose.

Your work is everywhere.

Every new chat starts from none of it.modalis reads and organizes it, on your Mac, so every AI you use can build on it.

How it works

Point it at your folders.

PDFs, Word files, slides, meeting notes, email, and your Codex and Claude Code sessions, read locally.

Shown with a fictional sample project.

Private by design

Your context lives on your Mac.
Not in someone’s cloud.

  • Runs on your MacReading, the brain and every answer are built on your own machine.
  • Works offlineNo account to sync, no server to reach. It keeps working on a plane.
  • Nothing leaves unless you chooseAn assistant sees only the projects you allow it.

Our model

A big model’s understanding, sized for your Mac.

We start from a strong open-source model and train small adapters for the jobs modalis does: reading your files, citing sources, writing your brief. Each update ships better adapters. Your files are never used to train them.

One orb, the model, with data flowing in and a loop of learn, check and ship around it, once per weekly update.

For your whole company

The compute is already
on your desk.

Most of what your company knows is never read, because there was no affordable, private place to read it. The Macs your team already uses can do it, locally.

Of a company’s knowledge, only about a tenth is read today. With modalis, all of it can be read, on the Macs the company already owns.

Your company’s context,
kept inside your company.

Every brain lives on its own Mac. Share with a tag, and your team and company build one shared picture, computed on the Macs you already own, never on someone else’s servers.

Everyone has a brain.

Each person’s context is built and kept on their own Mac.

Today: share a project with a teammate (beta). Team layers and the company hive are what we’re building next.
