How to choose
Match the platform first: Windows for adris.tech, Mac for threadfork, browser for Lumist or the extension. Prioritize model format support (GGUF/llamafile) if you need coding or heavy inference. Test data boundaries—agents like LakeMind and Fato AI explicitly avoid uploads, while others assume local storage. Avoid tools with hidden sync features that could leak data despite offline claims.
