An assistant that never leaves your laptop
Burrow runs a capable language model locally. Your notes, files and questions stay on your machine — no account, no cloud, no network required.
Not a policy. A design.
There is no server to trust because there is no server.
Runs offline
Pull the network cable and it keeps working.
No account
Open the app and start. Nothing to sign up for.
Encrypted local index
Your files are indexed into an encrypted store on disk.
Nothing phoned home
No telemetry unless you opt in, and you can read exactly what it sends.
Delete means delete
Remove a folder from the index and its traces go with it.
Open model weights
Swap in any compatible open model you prefer.
