Ownode turns a computer you already own into your own private AI, and puts it in your pocket. Install a model server on your Mac (LM Studio, Ollama, or anything that speaks the standard chat API), then pair your iPhone by scanning one code. The model runs on your hardware. What you type never reaches us. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT • No account. There is no email to hand over and no password to forget. • No per-message cost. The computer is yours, so asking it things is free. • End-to-end encrypted. Messages are sealed on your iPhone and opened only by your own computer. • Works away from home. On your Wi-Fi it connects directly. Elsewhere it reaches your computer through a relay that forwards data it holds no key for. FREE, AND STAYING THAT WAY • Unlimited messages • Full conversation history, kept only on your iPhone • Send photos to your model • Standing instructions that go with every message • Remote access • One paired computer OWNODE PLUS Plus raises the limit from one paired computer to ten: a desktop, a laptop, and maybe a machine at work. Everything listed above stays free either way. WHAT YOU NEED • A Mac running Ownode Home, included with this app • A model server on that Mac, such as LM Studio or Ollama • Both devices on the same Wi-Fi for setup Ownode does not provide the AI model and does not run it. You choose it, you install it, and it stays yours, along with everything you ask it.
