Palapa turns idle compute and unused storage into intelligence and a drive that lives everywhere. Palapa lets you contribute your Mac’s unused computing power to a shared network and access its AI models from your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. HOW IT WORKS Palapa operates in three ways, and you can use any combination that fits your device: • AI Server — Run AI models directly on your Mac and serve requests from other members when you’re not using it. • Companion App — Manage your account, monitor your devices, and access the network from your iPhone or iPad without running inference locally. • Developer Access — Point any OpenAI-compatible tool or app directly at Palapa’s API to integrate large-scale AI inference into your own projects. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse your Drive and sync files across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Run AI models locally on your Mac and contribute spare capacity to the network • Access models larger than your device could run on its own • Choose your privacy level for every request: keep inference entirely on your own devices, route only to trusted friends, or open it to the wider network • Connect with friends and groups and message within the app • Use Palapa as a drop-in replacement for other AI API providers in your own tools and workflows PRIVACY BY DESIGN You control where your requests are processed. Self-only mode keeps everything on your own devices. Friends mode routes only to people you trust. Open mode reaches the full network for the widest model selection. Nodes don’t store your data beyond the life of each request. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Whether you’re an individual developer looking to escape per-request API costs, part of the open-source AI community, or have a Mac with spare capacity, Palapa gives you a way to put spare compute to work and get more out of AI in return.
