Questions

Which Macs does it run on?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 26 Tahoe or later. 8 GB of memory is enough for chat. Photo needs 16 GB and Video needs 24 GB. Intel Macs are not supported.

How much disk space does it need?

The app is under 300 MB. Models are downloaded separately, and Chat, Voice, Photo and Video each take several gigabytes. Setup shows each size before anything downloads, and AntiChat always keeps 10 GB free. Settings › Storage shows what each one uses and frees space.

Which models does it use?

Open-weight models at pinned versions, picked to fit your Mac: Qwen and Gemma for chat, Parakeet, Whisper and Kokoro for voice, FLUX.2 klein, Z-Image and Qwen-Image-Edit for pictures, and Wan 2.2 or LTX for video.

Settings › Capabilities lists every model with its licence. See model licences.

Is it safe? What does Evil Mode allow?

Normal mode behaves like the chat apps you know. Evil Mode is off by default, for adults only, and swaps in uncensored models with near-zero refusals.

One thing is blocked in every mode: sexual images or video involving minors. The terms also forbid sexual imagery of real people without their consent. Read the Evil Mode terms.

Does it really work offline?

Yes, once the models are downloaded. Turn on Offline only in Settings › Privacy & Data and web search, connections, updates and downloads pause.

How do updates work?

AntiChat checks once a day, downloads signed updates in the background and installs them when you restart. Your chats and models are never touched by an update. See the changelog.

How do I uninstall it?

Choose AntiChat › Uninstall AntiChat… It lists what it will remove and how much space that frees, offers to export your data first, then removes everything and moves itself to the Trash. Remove it by hand if you prefer.

Is it really free? Is it open source?

Free, with no account and no subscription. The source code isn't public yet. It's coming.

More answers in Help.

Free. Yours.

No account, no subscription, no cloud. Just your Mac.
