Reporticus is the private home for everything your AI agents produce. Reports, analyses, dashboards and interactive artifacts arrive, stay, and stay usable — fully offline, on your device. Chats are fleeting. Results shouldn't be. Reporticus turns the valuable output of a conversation into a permanent, searchable, version-tracked document you actually own. WHY REPORTICUS • Truly private: your library, search and metrics live entirely on-device and encrypted. No telemetry. Nobody trains on your content. • Verified, not just pretty: published versions are Ed25519-signed and re-checked before every view. Imported content is never altered. • Artifacts without a network: reports and mini-apps run in a hardened sandbox with zero network access. A RICH, INTERACTIVE READER • Renders HTML, Markdown, KaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams. • Runs React mini-apps and D3 / Three.js visualizations — offline. • Native QuickLook for PDF, Office and iWork files. FIND & ORGANIZE • Instant full-text search across your whole library, offline. • Collections, inbox triage, versions and a provenance panel for every report. • Spotlight integration. AI ASSISTANT (Reporticus Pro) • Connect your own model — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or OpenRouter. • Summarize your inbox, create and revise documents, and export as PDF, DOCX, XLSX or CSV. • Your key stays in the device Keychain and is only sent to the provider you choose. FREE & PRO Import, library, search and the reader are free. Reporticus Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — and unlocks the AI assistant, React mini-apps, publication-quality PDF export and unlimited collections. Your agents deliver. Reporticus keeps, proves and makes it usable.
