Conduck
Read full descriptionHide 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 your own AI server - OpenClaw, Hermes, or a compatible model server such as Pi or LM Aider - or bring an OpenRouter key for a hosted model and start in about a minute. Your keys, your AI. No Conduck account and no Conduck-operated intermediary server. 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 Work: collect now, brief your AI later ⢠A private desk beside your chats. Save thoughts, voice notes, screenshots, links and files from the app, the share sheet, Shortcuts, the Mac menu bar, Apple Watch or CarPlay. A voice note is saved as words. ⢠Adding to Work sends nothing to your AI. Arrange materials on Home, or file them into projects with their own background notes. ⢠When you're ready, write the task, pick the materials and choose your AI. Review the exact message, then send. ⢠With a self-hosted agent and file exchange set up, files your AI returns join the project. ⢠With content sync on, the desk syncs through your private iCloud. Very large files stay on the device that captured them. Private by architecture, not by promise ⢠Conduck operates no intermediary server. No Conduck account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. ⢠By default, your speech is turned into text by Apple on your own devices. Your voice never leaves them. ⢠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 tokens live in the Keychain, and every connection over the internet is HTTPS. A server on your own network can be reached without it if you choose, and Conduck says so on screen when you do. See what you actually use ⢠Settings shows a private record of request attempts and conversations over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, typed and spoken compared. ⢠Broken down by connection, device and requested model, with the token counts your AI reports, and reliability split into first-try deliveries, retries, cancellations and failures. ⢠Recorded on your devices and synced through your private iCloud. Never sent to us. Free plan and Conduck Pro ⢠Free: three active projects and three configured gateways in total across OpenClaw, Hermes and custom connections. Unconfigured options don't count, and OpenRouter never uses a slot. ⢠Pro: unlimited active projects and configured gateways on iPhone, iPad and Mac. ⢠Archive a project to free a slot. Above the free limits, choose which projects and gateways stay active; your materials, conversations and saved connection settings are kept. Conduck Pro is an optional monthly subscription: USD 29.99 in the US or EUR 29.99 in euro-area storefronts. Other storefront prices are shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless canceled; manage it in your App Store subscription settings. AI and speech provider usage is billed separately by your chosen providers. Pro includes no model or voice credits. Terms: https://conduck.com/terms/ Privacy: https://conduck.com/privacy/ Open source The application source is available under Apache 2.0 at github.com/GigaDuckAI/conduck. Official App Store builds keep the Conduck identity and CarPlay; personal source builds use the Conduck Community identity without CarPlay. What you'll need Conduck is the interface, not the AI. You bring the AI and any key it needs; guided setup helps you connect. Conduck creates no account and hosts no model for you.
