Your AI Companion,
Under your Control
Compass is an open-source AI chat application that gives you control of privacy and speed. Run entirely offline when privacy is a priority or connect to one of many providers, such as ChatGPT, when you need the latest models.
Choose between many AI providers
Avoid getting trapped in a single eco-system - switch between providers with your chat history and documents intact

Why Choose Compass?
Built with core values of sovereignty, privacy, and control
Privacy Oriented
Compass scans for sensitive content and warns you before you send it. No data ever needs to be sent to external servers without your explicit permission.
Best of Both Worlds
Connect to providers like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for cutting-edge models, or stay offline for sensitive tasks.
Ownership and Portability
You own your data and conversations, allowing you to use them across different providers and models. Export, delete, or manage them as you please.
Open Source
Fully transparent codebase. Verify the security and privacy claims yourself.
Offline Capable
Works without an internet connection. Perfect for travel or when privacy is a priority.
Choose how you authenticate
Polaris can be used with both Microsoft and Google accounts, as well as with a custom email and password or simply an API key.
Documents
Compass can be used with documents, such as PDFs. This allows you to use Compass to chat with your documents, as well as with the internet.
Chat with characters
Promote diversity of thought and expression by defining different characters for different tasks. Comes with 5 pre-defined characters.
Customizable
Adapt Compass to your specific needs with providers, themes, character profiles, and more.
How does it Work?
Compass exists within your own local network, however it can also connect to the internet to access the latest models from providers like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. This allows you to use Compass offline when privacy is a priority, or connect to the internet when you need the latest models.
Polaris allows you to bundle up different providers, including your local AI, in one place and share it amongst multiple compass users. This both simplifies the setup process and allows you to control usage in one place.
