M1K3 is a native AI companion that runs entirely on your Mac. Local models, live voice, a knowledge graph that remembers everything — and a network cable it never asks for.
Everything below runs inside one sandboxed app on Apple Silicon. Pull the ethernet cable — M1K3 doesn't notice.

No. M1K3 runs entirely on your Mac — inference, voice, embeddings, and storage are all on-device. Zero bytes of your conversations, documents, or calls go to any server. The optional web-search tool is off by default and clearly toggled.
