Why VxNewton

Useful AI, without handing your life to the cloud

VxNewton is built for people who want a capable assistant on their Mac — not a subscription, an account, or a company holding their conversations and limiting their access to AI.

Runs on your Mac

The model generates answers directly on Apple Silicon using Apple's MLX framework. Saved chats stay on your Mac instead of in a cloud AI account.

No account. No sign-in.

Download it, open it, start chatting. There is nothing to register for and no login standing between you and an answer.

Your chats stay on your Mac

Your conversations stay on your Mac. You can delete them whenever you like.

Web search, with privacy in mind

For current events and live facts, VxNewton uses a privacy-focused web search tool and shows you exactly which sources it used.

Easy to set up

Install VxNewton like any other Mac app. Open it, follow the guided setup, and start chatting — no Terminal, technical knowledge, or model configuration required.

Built on Gemma

VxNewton is powered by Google's openly available Gemma model, packaged to run locally on your Mac.
