Cursor for the air-gapped
Lokal is for the people who can't use a cloud AI IDE — regulated industries, privacy-first teams, and anyone who wants the agent experience without renting a cloud. It's built to feel like it was made by Apple, for the people who can't use Cursor.
What Lokal does
Runs 100% on your Mac
Models run locally via Apple's MLX framework. No Ollama, no LM Studio, no llama.cpp — a fully first-party runtime.
Zero telemetry
There is no analytics hook. The only recorder is a local, user-owned audit log. What happens in Lokal stays in Lokal.
Guided onboarding
A first-run wizard detects your hardware, suggests the right model, downloads it, and verifies it — no YAML, no JSON, no terminal.
Agentic coding
A quiet, trusted agent companion that reads, edits, and diffs your code — with per-hunk accept and reject, and a full audit trail.
Model capability verification
Lokal probes tool-calling before enabling agent mode, so a model that claims to support tools but can't won't silently break your workflow.
Your models, your rules
Bring your own models. Lokal detects what they need to run and tells you plainly — no guesswork.
Models that fit your machine
A curated lineup, from a free tier that runs on 8 GB of RAM to big-iron models for serious workstations.
Privacy is the product
Lokal is sold on trust and on-ramp, not benchmark wins. Your code never leaves your machine. There's no cloud dependency, no account required to use the free tier, and no telemetry to opt out of — because there's nothing to opt out of.
