Continue local-model conversation without an internet connection.
Travelers preparing local project work before a flight
No wifi on the plane? The model is already on your Mac.
Before you leave the network, install a local model that fits your Mac and open the project. In the air, the conversation runs on the machine in front of you, and Voice is heard offline on a Mac with macOS 14 or later.
Free for one person on your Mac, no card. Your model provider bills you directly.
Same work, different week
Now
Flight wifi is slow, costs extra, or is not there, and the question you wanted to ask the project waits until you land.
With Bandicot
The picker checks memory and disk before the download, so what you pack is a model that fits. Remote tools still need a network, and local files and the project do not.
A day with it
No depending on in-flight access for local inference.
First thing
The job lands
Flight wifi is slow, costs extra, or is not there, and the question you wanted to ask the project waits until you land.
Mid-morning
You hand it over
The picker checks memory and disk before the download, so what you pack is a model that fits. Remote tools still need a network, and local files and the project do not.
After lunch
A trusted harness around the model
Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
Before you close the lid
You read what changed
Local-model project conversation without the flight network.
How the work gets done
Free Bandicot core
The free plan has every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Projects that hold the work
Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
Durable work sessions
Close the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.
What it takes to begin

Claims we stand behind

Before downloading a model, Bandicot checks memory needs and disk space.
Before a download, Bandicot reads the model's own file header to work out how much memory it will need and checks there is room on the disk.
- Available now
Hosted providers and local models can work in the same project.
- Available now
Voice is heard offline on this Mac and needs macOS 14 or later.
