Local AI

What is Jan?

Jan is a free, open-source AI chat application that runs entirely on your local machine. Unlike cloud-based tools like ChatGPT, Jan sends no data to external servers — all inference happens on-device using local language models including LLaMA, Mistral, and other GGUF-format models. It supports Mac, Windows, and Linux and works fully offline. Jan is the go-to choice for developers and privacy-conscious users who want a self-hosted AI assistant with complete data sovereignty.
