Read full descriptionHide full description
Privateer is a private AI platform: hundreds of models, real working agents and hands-free voice, built so your data stays yours. Every top model, one private app Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek and hundreds more. Filter the list down to zero-retention or confidential-compute models before you type, and switch models mid-conversation without losing the thread. Attach images, documents and files so every reply has the full context. Create, then build One sentence becomes up to eight image variations in 35 styles, or a video, and you refine it just by asking. Ask for a game, a web page, a slide deck or a report and it runs live in the chat then save it to your Cargo hold, encrypted and ready to reload. Everything you make is stowed in your encrypted Library. Think in branches Fork any answer onto a living board, drop images beside it, and pinch and pan to see how your ideas connect or stay in a classic scrolling thread and switch between the two whenever you like. Talk, don't type Tap the mic and have an actual conversation. Privateer hears where your sentence ends, no push-to-talk, no wake word, and starts speaking while the rest of the answer is still being written. Talk over it, or tap, to cut in. Your coding agent, in your pocket Link a terminal, your laptop, a server, or the desktop app and drive it from your iPhone, by thumb or by voice. Watch it read, edit and test your code, and allow or deny each command before it runs. Or let it work unattended and collect the finished files; work it finishes while you are away lands in your inbox. Plug in your tools GitHub, Notion, Linear, databases and a real browser, through MCP connectors that run on your own machine, set up from your phone. Credentials are write-only from your phone and sealed to that machine: neither our relay nor our servers ever see the value. Everywhere you go iPhone, iPad, browser and desktop, plus a coding agent for your own terminal. Chats, projects and boards, encrypted and in sync. Your data, your rules Your chats, files and media are encrypted on your device with a key derived from your password. Keep them entirely on your device, or sync them encrypted to our cloud, your choice, and you can change it. Emails, phone numbers and other personal details can be redacted before the AI ever sees them. To answer you, the AI has to read your message once. That is why every request is pinned by default to zero-data-retention (Zero-Data-Retention) providers, contractually barred from storing your prompts or training on them. Confidential models go further: they run inside hardware secure enclaves, and you can pull up the attestation report yourself, in the app. There is no password reset. The key that decrypts your data is derived from your password and never leaves your device, so we cannot recover your account for you, and neither can anyone else. Sign in with an email and password.
