About

An agent that answers to you. Whelk is private AI on hardware you own. Chat with your own models, then arm a conversation with an agent and let it do the work. The record stays on your device, encrypted. YOUR MODELS, IN THE RIGHT ORDER Whelk connects first to Whelk Server, the free server you run on your own Mac or Linux machine. It can also connect straight to a model server you already run, such as LM Studio or Ollama. On an iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple Intelligence, it can use Apple's on-device model. A cloud provider is used only if you add one, and every answer from it is labeled. CHAT AND WORK, ONE SURFACE - Chat with any model you run. - Arm a conversation with an agent, and it works in place. It asks before anything that reaches past its workspace. - Fork a conversation to try another path. - Dictate on device. Your voice stays on the phone. - On a Mac, open a chat from the menu bar, or send selected text from any app through the Services menu. - Turn on sync to carry your history between your devices, end to end encrypted, through your own Whelk Server. PRIVATE BY WHELK No account. No telemetry. No analytics. Whelk talks only to the servers you choose. Whelk is open core: Whelk Server is Apache-2.0, the apps are source-available, and the source opens at launch. FREE FOR EVERYONE Nothing is metered and nothing is for sale. Enterprise governance is coming.

What's New in Whelk

2026.11.2

November 2, 2026

This release shortens the path from nothing to a working agent. Stand up Whelk Server, scan a code from your app, and you are talking to a model on hardware you own. Work gains branches, background jobs and two sessions side by side. Connectors turn on from the app. Your memory is yours to read and to forget. - Whelk Server finds a reachable address on its own and shows a pairing code and a QR. There is no bind address to hand-edit and no token to read from a file. - Pair a device by scanning that code. There is no address to type. - Whelk Server serves a model on every tier, gives the model the current date, time and time zone, and keeps itself up to date. - Reach the server you run from outside your network, and wake your phone with a push that carries no content. - A Work session runs in its own git worktree, so two sessions never touch the same files. - List, switch and create a branch from any client. Push a branch to your forge behind a permission card. - Run a long command as a background job, and read its output as it runs. - Accept or reject an edit one hunk at a time. - Let the agent update the workspace from upstream, behind a permission card. - Show two sessions side by side on iPad, Mac, Linux, iPhone Duo and Android tablets. - Turn a connector on from the admin page or from any client. Add your own web search, through Cloudflare or your own SearXNG, and add your own MCP servers. - See every fact the agent kept, and forget any one of them. Forgetting a memory also forgets everything derived from it, on every client. - A Work turn no longer stalls when the context fills. It stays inside the model's window and keeps its task through every compaction.
