⛓️‍💥

No cloud dependency

Cloud AI disappears when the signal does. PortableMind runs on the machine in front of you — not a datacenter you can't reach.

🛡️

Private by default

Your conversations, documents, and voice stay on your machine. No telemetry, no uploads, no accounts — just local AI that respects your data.

💾

Two editions, two platforms

Ships as separate USBs for Windows 10/11 and macOS. Pick the edition that matches your machine and you're ready to go.

// Who it's for

Built for people who need AI they can count on

Travelers

Use AI on flights, in remote areas, or anywhere Wi-Fi is unreliable.

Privacy-focused users

Keep conversations and documents off corporate servers entirely.

Outage preparedness

Have AI available when the internet goes down — storms, outages, or infrastructure failures.

Field workers

Use voice and vision in areas with zero cell signal.

Writers & researchers

Draft, brainstorm, and organize without cloud distractions or data concerns.

Prepared households

Keep a backup AI tool alongside your other emergency supplies.

// Cloud vs offline

The same question. Two very different nights.

On the left: a cloud AI app stuck on “reconnecting”. On the right: PortableMind answering locally on your own hardware, even when the signal is gone.

Cloud AI appNeeds internet

Reconnecting…

Waiting for network. Your prompt and response history are temporarily unavailable.

Last prompt

Where's the nearest river and how far can I walk in two hours?

// FAQ

Common questions

Does it work offline?+

Yes. The AI runs locally on your Windows 10/11 or macOS machine. No account, no cloud API key. Internet is only needed if you choose to download updates later.

What do I need to run it?+

A reasonably modern Windows 10/11 PC or Mac with at least 8 GB RAM and a USB port (USB-C with an adapter works fine).

Do I need a subscription or API key?+
No. You pay once for the PortableMind USB. The models run on your hardware with no recurring fees and no cloud API keys.
What can it do?+
Chat, voice conversations, image/document recognition (SCOUT Vision), and phone access — all running locally on your machine with no internet required.
Can I update the models later?+
You can optionally apply update packs yourself. The core tools keep working even if you never update again.
What is PortableMind CORE?+
CORE is the entry-level offline AI USB — $49, Windows only, 4 models, chat mode, AES 256 encryption. The simplest way to start with private, offline AI. Upgrade to v1.5 anytime for voice, vision, and macOS support.
