## About

Local Waifu is an AI companion for macOS that runs entirely on your machine. No cloud, no account, no data leaving your device — conversations are processed locally via Ollama and stored in a local SQLite database.

What makes it different:

- Real long-term memory. A local memory system built on vector embeddings and a knowledge graph means she actually remembers your conversations — what you told her last week, last month, or on day one.

- 100% private by design. Everything runs on-device. There is no server to trust, because there is no server.

- One-time purchase. No subscription. Pay once, own it forever — unlike Character.AI, Replika, or Kindroid.

- Works with your hardware. Pick a model matched to your Mac's RAM, from lightweight to large. Optional BYOK fallback if you want to plug in a cloud API key — but you never have to.

- Fully customizable. Personality, voice, behavior — you're in control, with no content filters dictated by someone else's policy team.

Built for people who want an AI companion without renting one from a cloud company.
