// why "faraday"

A cage for your data.

In 1836, Michael Faraday showed that a conductive enclosure blocks electromagnetic fields. Stand inside a Faraday cage and no signal reaches in — and nothing leaks out. It's why your car shrugs off lightning and why sensitive labs wrap their walls in mesh.

That's the promise we build to: whatever you say, type, or process inside our tools doesn't escape to someone else's server.

Most "AI" software quietly ships your words to the cloud to be transcribed, logged, and mined. We do the opposite. The models run on your own hardware, the data stays local, and the source is open so you can verify every claim on this page.

// principles

Non-negotiables.

Every Faraday Soft tool is held to the same three rules.

⬡

Local by default

Processing happens on your device. The only network calls are ones you can point to — model downloads and update checks.

◇

Open source

The code is public and GPL-licensed. Privacy claims you can't inspect are just marketing.

∅

No accounts, no tracking

No sign-up, no analytics, no telemetry. Nothing to harvest, nothing to leak.

// apps

Built in the cage.

Tools that do their job without phoning home.
