How to choose
Start with platform: Mac users should pick Osaurus, Artelligence OS or LocalClip; browser-only needs point to PDFCraft, MediaDit or The Tool Deck. Check required autonomy—Fossick and the embedding toolkit give fine-grained control for developers while Savva and HushBook target narrow consumer tasks. Verify offline claims in the current release notes; some tools still phone home for model updates. Avoid any agent whose metrics show cloud fallbacks when strict isolation is mandatory.
