Voical FULLY OFFLINE · MAC · ONE-TIME PURCHASE

Local Voice Cloning AI
that speaks to Privacy.

Chat, write code, and clone any voice from a 45-second sample. Point it at a folder and it reads, writes, edits files and runs commands there — asking before every change — creates real Word, Excel and slide documents, produces multi-speaker podcasts, and keeps a memory that persists. All on your machine. No API keys. No cloud. Nothing leaves.

Install once. Own it forever.
Air-gap by default. Nothing leaves the machine.
Your voice. Your model. Your AI.
The Suite
Six tools. One machine. Zero cloud.
Every capability runs locally on Apple Silicon. Voical is air-gapped by default — you explicitly choose if anything ever syncs.
Voical Voice Studio

Clone & speak in your own voice

Zero-shot cloning from a 45-second recording — no training run, no upload, no subscription. Noise isolation, EQ presets, and an AI tuner that takes plain English. Your voice, on your machine, forever.

Voical Local Chat and Code

Local Chat & Code

Chat and write code with a private assistant that runs on your Mac. Give it a workspace folder and it reads, writes, edits your files and runs commands inside it — asking before each change, never outside that folder — and creates real Word, Excel, and slide documents. It picks the right depth of thinking automatically.

Voical Podcast Studio

Podcast Studio

Multi-speaker scripts, a voice per speaker, rendered and exported as a tagged MP3 — produced entirely offline.

Voical Thalamus Mesh

Thalamus Mesh

Coordinate work between your machines — and with any AI assistant. An open standard, not a walled garden.

Benchmarks
Measured on an entry level Mac, not a server farm.
We ran published coding benchmarks locally on an M4 MacBook Air with the internet physically off. DeepSeek-R1:14b reasons through the problem; Qwen2.5-Coder:7b drives the tools and writes the fix.

Documents
Reads and writes your Office files — offline.
Open a Word document and ask about it. Generate a spreadsheet from a description. Build a slide deck from an outline. It works with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files directly on your Mac — created and read locally, never uploaded, no Microsoft account.

Word

Read and draft .docx — reports, letters, memos — with headings and structure, on-device.

Excel

Generate and read .xlsx — multi-sheet workbooks, tables, computed data — fully local.

PowerPoint

Build .pptx decks from an outline — titled slides with bullets — entirely offline.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint are Microsoft trademarks, named here only to describe file compatibility. Voical is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft, uses none of its logos, and never touches Microsoft 365 or any cloud — local document files only.

Concept & cover art

Generate episode covers, thumbnails, and marketing imagery on-device alongside the audio.

Under the hood
No black box. Judge it yourself.
Voical runs published, open models locally — we don't hide what's inside. The base-model benchmarks below are the model authors' own published figures. Voical's value is everything we built around them.
Reasoning & chat: DeepSeek-R1 (14B distill) · Code: Qwen2.5-Coder 7B · Speech: whisper.cpp · Images: FLUX.1-schnell. All on-device, intent-routed automatically. Measured on an M4 / 24 GB: the quick model answers in well under a second at ~20–27 tokens/sec; the deep-reasoning model runs ~10 tokens/sec while it thinks through hard problems.

Honest comparison
What Voical does that they can't.
Claude (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) and Gemini are brilliant cloud models. But they live in someone else's data center. These are the things that matters to you that they structurally cannot do — not a knock on them, a difference in kind.

We won't pretend otherwise: for sheer frontier reasoning, Opus and Gemini lead. Voical trades peak IQ for privacy, ownership, offline operation, and a voice that's literally yours. If your work can go to the cloud, use them. If it can't — or you're done renting — that's Voical.

Same rule as before: the cloud models are stronger pure reasoners, and "cloud sandbox" code execution is real and capable. The line that matters here is your machine, your files, your voice, offline — that column is the one only Voical can fill.
For research teams
A research network, not just an assistant.
In development · updates ship via mesh (optional)
On its own, a node is grounded in sources you supply — it answers only from them and cites every claim. When the stakes are high and you want more confidence, you temporarily connect that node to a trusted mesh — a vetted private team, or a curated public channel of like-minded models and people — and let independent nodes cross-check the finding against its sources before you rely on it. Then you disconnect. It's not a smarter model; it's research that's far harder to be quietly wrong about, with an auditable trail of who verified what.

Grounded & cited

Link your own sources. Answers come only from them, with citations — and an honest "not in the source" when it isn't.

On-demand peer review

Invoke it when confidence matters. Independent nodes — a different model or machine — verify a claim against its cited source and return pass/revise/fail. Time-boxed, not always-on.

Mixed teams

Built for a team's spread of Apple-Silicon Macs. The protocol is open, so other capable assistants — including cloud models via a connector — can join the same review channel.

Private answers grounded in your sources, with citationsYes
A memory that persists across sessionsYes
Multi-node peer review with pass/revise/fail verdictsDesigned
Quorum + signed, auditable review ledgerDesigned
Mixed Apple-Silicon + cloud-model participantsOpen protocol
Straight about where the line is: the grounded, citing single node is real today. The peer-review mesh — user-invoked, time-boxed, then disconnected — is the architecture we're building toward on an open (MIT) protocol; not a shipped feature, and we won't pretend it is. And the load-bearing word is trusted: a vetted private team or a curated public channel raises confidence; an open mesh of strangers is an attack surface, not a second opinion. It improves reliability and auditability, not raw intelligence — reviewer independence is what gives it teeth.

Q&A
The honest answers.
Why not just download the models myself?

You can — they're open. But the model is the easy part. Voical is everything around it: a memory that persists across sessions, automatic model routing, a full voice-cloning studio with noise cleanup and an EQ tuner, hands-free conversation you can interrupt, multi-speaker podcast rendering, and air-gap-by-default security — all installed and working in one step instead of a weekend of wiring. We built all of that. That's what you're buying.

Is it as smart as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?

Straight answer: the raw models are strong but not at today's frontier cloud tier — they're the best you can run privately and offline on a Mac. If your work can't go to the cloud, or you're done paying monthly forever, that tradeoff is the entire point. The models are published and named — judge them yourself.

Can I clone anyone's voice?

Only voices you have the legal right and consent to use — your own, or voices you're authorized to reproduce. Voical requires you to confirm this before saving a cloned voice, and logs that confirmation locally. Impersonation and deception are off-limits.

Does any of my data leave the machine?

No. Voical is air-gapped by default. Chat, voice, images, and memory all run on-device. Network features (optional mesh sync) are off until you explicitly enable them, with a persistent indicator showing which mode you're in.

Really one-time? No subscription?

One payment. No subscription, no per-minute voice fees, no API bills. Compared to a $99/month cloud voice plan, Personal pays for itself in about five months — then it's free, forever.

What hardware do I need?

An Apple-Silicon Mac. Voical is tuned for M-series with around 24 GB of unified memory, which comfortably runs the local models with room to spare.
