What is Linda?
The AI coworker that stays on your Mac.
Linda is a free, private AI coworker for the Mac that runs fully on local AI models on Apple Silicon. You speak or type what you need and Linda does the work — handling tasks, automation, and recurring routines entirely on-device — while asking for approval before anything irreversible. No account, no cloud, no data leaves the Mac.
It runs open models (GLM, Qwen, Gemma, Granite) via MLX and connects to Ollama, LM Studio, or mlx-lm for your own models. Memory is stored on-device (built on Qdrant) and is fully visible and removable. Linda works in its own browser profile without touching your browser or email app, and integrates with Outlook, Teams, Calendar, Notion, Todoist, Linear, and more.
Linda is completely free with no paid tiers. It requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1–M5) running macOS 26.
