SafePulse is a private, local-first browser with a built-in AI agent that runs entirely on your device. Browse the web with the help of a personal AI assistant — and a council of specialised agents — without sending a single query to the cloud. No accounts. No tracking. No subscription. Ever. — FEATURES — • On-device AI Agent Ask questions about any page, get summaries, extract concepts, and have natural conversations about what you're reading. The model runs locally on your iPhone — your prompts never leave your device. • Council of Agents Spin up multiple specialised agents — Researcher, Critic, Coach, Writer, and any custom role you create. Configure each one's name, colour, icon, and behaviour. Switch instantly while you browse. • Highlighter Pens Five colour-coded highlighter pens turn the web into your personal notebook. Highlight anything, then ask the agent about that exact passage with one tap. • Notebook Bookmarks Saved pages aren't dumped in a flat list. They land in a ruled-paper notebook view alongside your colour-coded highlights, so research stays organised the way you actually think. • Inline Agent Sheet Pull up the agent as a bottom sheet over the current page — no tab switching, no losing your place. • Multi-tab Browsing & Speed Dial Familiar tab management with a clean speed-dial home screen for the sites you visit most. — PRIVACY BY DESIGN — Everything stays on your device. SafePulse uses no analytics, no advertising SDKs, no telemetry, and no third-party tracking. Bookmarks, highlights, and chat history live in local storage you control. — FREE FOREVER — No subscription. No in-app purchases. No paywalled features. SafePulse is a free browser — that's the whole product. Built for people who want a smarter web without trading their privacy to get it.

A new way to use AI, visually. Buddy is an AI that answers with interactive visuals, not paragraphs of text. Ask a question and it draws — maps, carousels, charts, plans you can check off. Every answer is made for you uniquely: your language and your aesthetics. Sharing it with friends is a click away. Use the web as your hub of connections The web is yours and any website can be a connection, not just Gmail, Notion or whichever integration is supported. Sign in once, on the site's own page, and Buddy can open and read it for you whenever you ask: your ads dashboard, your inbox, your project tracker, the forum you follow. What can you ask? Anything. But if you want somewhere to start: • Where should we eat tonight? — a map, ranked picks, and the tradeoffs • Compare these three, honestly — scored on what you actually care about • Plan the trip — an itinerary with times, costs, and conflicts • Teach me this — an explainer with quick practice, so it sticks • How are our numbers this week? — read straight from your ads dashboard • The same question every morning — any ask can become a briefing that rebuilds itself Private by nature No account, no email, no password — Buddy works without knowing who you are. Your passwords never leave your phone. Your history, bookmarks, and chats are stored there and nowhere else. Your data should be yours Start free. Buddy Plus raises your limits.
