Why local

Your data stays where you do.

AskQP runs its models on your own Mac by default. That one choice is what makes everything else on this page possible.

Private by physics

Set a Space to Local only and every copy of that work stays on the Mac you own. Search across your files runs there too, always.

Works on a plane

Local models answer from your Mac with the Wi-Fi off. Your files, your drafts, and your answers travel with you.

Your hardware, your rules

A local answer costs nothing per question. Your Mac sets the pace, and each Space follows the rules you give it.

Provable, because you hold it

Every AI answer and significant action seals into a tamper-evident record on your Mac. Verify it yourself in Settings.

The safest place for your work is the one you already control.

See exactly where your data lives

Start here

Tell QP what you’re building. It sets up the Space.

Your files on the left. The draft in the middle. QP on the right, naming the file behind each answer. Click around: this is a proposal due Friday, and QP has done the reading.

Operations review proposal

Our response to the request for proposal, due Friday.

Approach

We start with two weeks of listening: interviews with sales, fulfillment, and finance, and a walk through twenty recent orders from sale to delivery. Cites request §2

Weeks three to six map the delays, put a dollar figure on each one, and rank the fixes by how fast they pay for themselves.

In one private companion

Your files · Drafts · Answers with sources · Tasks · Approvals · and a signed record of all of it.

The companion in your pocket

Catch it anywhere. Hear it on the drive home.

Scan the signed page, dictate the thought, paste the link. Then ask your notes a question, or have them read to you while you drive. The work happens on the phone, in airplane mode too.

  1. Capture it the moment it lands

    Note, Scan, Voice, or paste. The phone reads the scan and transcribes the voice note itself, so the words are searchable right away.

  2. Listen to your own notes

    Read-Along reads any note aloud in one of four natural voices, made on the phone. It starts in about two seconds.

  3. Ask your notes, anywhere

    AskQP on the phone answers from your notes and shows its sources. When your notes lack the answer, it says so.

What did I tell the client about fees?

A fixed fee, billed in two parts, with your 2026 rate card attached. From 2 of your notes.

Read aloudSources
Answered on the phone. Receipt sealed 14:20.

Capture, Ask, search, and Read-Along all run on the phone itself. Face ID guards the app, and what you keep there is sealed to that device.

Intelligence

Local models first.
Cloud when you choose.

Every Space starts on your Mac. When a job calls for a frontier model, you allow it for that Space, with your own key. Three policies: Local only, Local preferred, Frontier allowed.

The Vault

Your knowledge. Indexed.

Drop in contracts, proposals, spreadsheets, and slide decks. QP reads them into a private, searchable library for that one project. File search runs on your Mac, always.

PDF and Office files · PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, read by a built-in reader on every Mac

Search by meaning · Finds the passage you mean as well as the words you typed

Cited answers · Answers name the file they came from, and one tap opens the passage

Explains itself · If search needs attention, the Vault says why and offers a one-click fix

Sealed by math

Tamper-evident by math. Not by policy.

Every AI answer and significant action seals into a signed, hash-chained record. Each entry locks the one before it. Change a single entry and the chain visibly breaks. Check it yourself any time: Settings, Governance, Audit trail, Verify now.

  2. #14219Draft · proposal.md
  3. #14220Approved · task completed
  4. #14221Entry altered after seal✗ hash mismatch

Alter one sealed entry and its hash stops matching the next. The break is impossible to hide.

Signed twice

Every entry carries two independent signatures. Ed25519 is the classical one, proven by years of use. ML-DSA-65 is the post-quantum one, built for the computers coming next. A forger has to break both at once.

Sealed today. Checkable in 2050.

A record matters most years later, when someone asks. The post-quantum signature is there for that day, so the record you keep now is one you can still stand behind.

Who it’s for

Built for people whose work has to hold up.

Founders & operators

Give the proposal, the pricing, and the board update a Space each. Your plans stay on the Mac you own.

Independent professionals

Keep each client in a separate Space. Answers cite that client's files, and every draft waits for your yes.

Consultants & advisors

Turn a folder of scattered files into analysis you can defend line by line, in the room with the client.

Owners in careful industries

When a client or an auditor asks what the AI did, open the record and show them. Each entry is signed and chained.

Before you start

The things people ask before they start.

What is AskQP?

AskQP is a private AI companion that lives on your own computer and phone: a Mac app for Apple silicon and an iPhone app. Give each project a Space, drop in your files, and ask. QP reads, drafts, and prepares, and you approve what goes out.

How is AskQP different from a chat assistant?

A chat assistant waits for your next message. QP keeps working between your instructions, reading your files, drafting, and turning your day into decisions, and whatever goes out waits for your yes. Every answer and significant action is written to a tamper-evident record you can verify.

Does AskQP run on my machine?

Yes. Your Spaces, files, and record stay on your Mac, and file search always runs there. Each Space chooses its model policy: Local only, Local preferred (the default), or Frontier allowed with your own provider key.

How much does AskQP cost?

AskQP is no charge for personal and entrepreneurial use, including work for your own business and your clients. Both apps and every feature are included. Enterprise (BAA, SLA, managed deployment) is available by agreement.

Which devices does AskQP support?

A Mac with Apple silicon, and an iPhone. Local models run through a model runtime you install on the Mac, and a Mac with more memory runs the larger ones. Any Space can also use your own provider key.
