Short description

Approved for directory listings, app store descriptions, and review summaries.

SilicaAI is a local-first AI workspace for Mac. Chat, voice transcription, image generation, and agents — running privately on your device, powered by Apple Silicon. No cloud required for core workflows. Free public beta.

Long description

Approved for reviews, articles, and directory submissions.

SilicaAI brings together the workflows most people rely on cloud AI for — chat, transcription, image generation, presentations, and autonomous agents — and runs them entirely on-device on Apple Silicon Macs. Because inference happens locally, your prompts, transcripts, and generated content never leave your machine unless you explicitly choose to use an optional cloud integration.

The app is designed as a unified workspace rather than a collection of separate tools. A single Model Library manages chat models (GGUF format), Whisper transcription models, and Stable Diffusion and Flux image models in one place, with automatic hardware compatibility filtering based on your Mac's chip and RAM. Users can assign different models to different features — a fast small model for rewrites, a larger reasoning model for analysis — without technical setup.

SilicaAI is currently available as a free public beta for macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Apple Silicon is recommended. No account is required to use local workflows.
