Hob: an open-source, offline desktop AI that works on your files
Veiovis@veiovis
Hob is an MIT-licensed desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux that runs open-weight models on your own machine, so chats and files never leave the system. It picks a model that fits your hardware on first launch, then reads and edits files in a folder, runs sandboxed Python for charts and conversions, and recognizes images. Web search and MCP connectors are the only parts that go online.
