How to choose
Match platform first: Mac users should prioritize Osaurus or Dictro, Windows users adris.tech, browser users peerd or the Orbit fork. Check autonomy level—anything-llm and Osaurus give the most control over models and agents. Watch for hardware traps: several tools require Apple Silicon or specific GPUs, and open-source options need setup time. Pricing is mostly free or one-time, but verify offline capability before committing to any agent.
