About Local
Local is a macOS app that runs AI on your own machine. It tunes itself to your chip with BaseRT, so chat, coding and meeting notes run faster on the same hardware, without your work leaving the device. Point it at a project and it reads, edits and runs code in place. Local reads your chip and memory, then recommends what to run. Tokens, speed per model, and what the same work would have cost through a cloud API.
About Skillful
Skillful is a local-first desktop app for building reusable AI skills and agents as real folders, then installing them into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Junie, and opencode. Skillful turns prompts, agents, screenshots, scripts, and notes into a filesystem library you can inspect and maintain. Prompts, screenshots, scripts, and supporting notes live next to the skill that uses them. Keep `SKILL.md` and `AGENT.md` workflows in one library, with filters and badges that make the difference clear without splitting your workspace.
