Jan

Jan is a (minimalist) AI Assistant that can run 100% offline.

• 1mn+ downloads and 20k+ Github Stars
• Available on Desktop (and soon Mobile)
• Fully open-source 

We built Jan to showcase the potential to run AI models locally on normal desktops and mobile phones. Jan has since taken a life of its own, as a minimalist AI assistant with strong privacy and offline capabilities.

Why Jan?

• 100% offline: Jan gives you an AI assistant on flights, oil rigs, or while hiking in the mountains
• Privacy: Jan runs offline, so your data never leaves your device
• Customizable: Choose from popular LLM models like Deepseek and Llama
• Open-Source: Built with transparency and community involvement.

We have also added features to Jan to let you optionally connect to Cloud AIs like OpenAI, Claude and Grok, so you can get the best of both worlds.

Jan’s Philosophy

Jan is an expression of Menlo’s philosophy:

• User ownership
• Local data storage
• Freedom from vendor lock-in

We work towards a world where humanity is able to harness AI without compormising privacy or data security, and where AI is not only in the hands of a few Tech Megacorps, but open to anyone to tinker with.
