Inferencer lets you run, host and deeply control the latest SOTA AI models (OSS, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax and more) from your own computer or phone. No data is sent to the cloud for processing - maintaining your complete privacy. Advanced inferencing controls give you complete control on their accuracy and outputs. Models Start in the models section where you can download the latest models directly from Hugging Face. Server Use the server feature to connect to an Inferencer running on your Mac to run even larger models over the network. Chats Select the model to interact with on the top menu bar and write a prompt to begin. At any point you can switch between models and continue the chat to see what else they can uncover. You can also selectively delete past messages to keep the model focused and less scatterbrain. Chat Controls Control the inferencing parameters including a system prompt to control how the model responds, temperature to control the accuracy of the response and more. Token Entropy and Inspection Select the inspectors to peek into the inner-workings of each word outputted and see the model's confidence levels and alternative choices. Response Control Utilise the control response feature to control the output the model generates. For example, skipping the preamble or directing the model to output in structured html. Settings Includes parental controls, an automatic deletion policy and more. Privacy For maximum privacy, all AI processing happens offline and on your device, by default. Subscriptions Basic (Free): Most features unlocked for free including unlimited chats and connecting to your Mac. Professional: Upgrade for more advanced token inspection and response control.

DOCREADER — READ PDFS & EPUBS, LISTEN OFFLINE, KEEP YOUR LIBRARY LOCAL DocReader is a full-featured reader for study, work, and leisure: open PDFs and EPUBs from your device, resume where you stopped, and switch to read-aloud with highlighting when your eyes need a rest. Reading and listening with system or offline voices is free—no account needed. READ-ALOUD & VOICES Start, pause, or stop from the toolbar; highlighting follows speech where content supports it. Skip chosen headings or lines in manuals and reference EPUBs. • System TTS: built-in voices, no download. • Kokoro offline voices (Sherpa ONNX): natural speech from an optional pack, synthesized on-device. • Supertonic: an optional pack for very fast on-device speech—great for long documents and cooler phones. Adjust rate and speaker, or keep the screen awake during playback. READING COMFORT Light, dark, or system theme, with a PDF dark mode tuned for legibility. Set default PDF and EPUB scale (fit page, fit width, and more) and scroll speed. In-document panels keep theme, fonts, and voice settings a tap away. LIBRARY & FORMATS Recent documents with timestamps on the home screen. Open files through the system picker, and DocReader remembers your last page or section. Beyond PDF and EPUB, open Markdown, text, logs, subtitles, JSON, CSV, source code, HTML, and common images. SCANNED PDFS / OCR When a PDF has no text layer, on-device OCR recovers text for reading and read-aloud, without sending page images to a cloud OCR service.
