About

Conduck

Features
Read full description

Conduck is the native Apple client for your self-hosted or BYO-key AI - in your pocket, in the car, and on your wrist. Connect an OpenAI-compatible gateway like OpenClaw, Hermes, Ollama, or LM Studio, or bring an OpenRouter key for a hosted model in about a minute. Your keys, your AI. No Conduck account, no intermediary servers, no relay. Conduck isn't another AI service. There's no model inside it and no intermediary server in the middle. You connect it to an AI you control, then talk or type to it from all your Apple devices. Ask from anywhere • iPhone & iPad: start a chat and type, or hold to talk • Action Button, Shortcuts & Control Center: fire off a quick question without opening the app • Apple Watch: ask straight from your wrist • CarPlay: a hands-free voice conversation on the road • Mac: a full desktop app and menu-bar companion, with a global hotkey and Screenshot & Ask Private by architecture, not by promise • Conduck has no intermediary servers. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • By default, your speech is turned into text right on your device by Apple. Your voice never leaves your device. • Prefer a cloud transcription service? Your audio goes straight from your device to that provider with your own key. We're never in the middle. • Your conversations stay on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. We can't read them. • Your keys and access tokens live in the Keychain, and every connection over the internet is HTTPS. A server on your own network can also be reached without it, if you choose that - and Conduck says so on screen when you do. See what you actually use • Settings keeps a private count of your turns and conversations over time, typed against spoken, for the last week, month, or 90 days. • Broken down by gateway, by device, and by the model each request asked for, with token totals exactly as your gateway reports them. • How often a request lands on the first try, plus the failures that did not, each with the reason it gave. • Measured on your device from your own conversations. Visible only to you, reported to no one. Free to download and use Conduck is free to download and use. No ads, no tracking, no Conduck account. Your AI provider or hosted model may charge separately. What you'll need Conduck is the voice and the interface, not the AI itself. You bring the AI, whichever way suits you: • Start in about a minute: connect a hosted model like OpenRouter with your own API key. Nothing to install, no server to run. • Run your own: point Conduck at a personal AI server you host (such as OpenClaw or Hermes) or any OpenAI-compatible service (Ollama, LM Studio, and the like). It's your server to run and maintain. Conduck simply talks to it. Either way, Conduck walks you through connecting, but it won't create an account or host a model for you. Conduck is for people who want AI on their own terms: their model, their keys, their data, in a fast, native app built to stay out of the middle.
