We are incredibly excited to announce that Mochi 1.0 is officially live and available for download today.
After months of intense engineering, performance profiling on Apple Silicon, and architectural rewrites, we have finally achieved what we set out to build: the fastest, most private, and most integrated AI assistant available for macOS.
A Radically Free Approach
From the start, we believed that basic intelligence should be a fundamental utility of your operating system, not a locked subscription.
That is why 90% of Mochi is completely free, forever. - 100% Local Inference - Sandboxed Code Execution - Web Search - Document Q&A (Reading PDFs, Codebases, CSVs) - Image Vision processing - Unlimited Chat
You can download the .dmg right now, drop it into your Applications folder, and never pay a dime.
Introducing Mochi Pro
For the power users who demand extreme automation, we have introduced an optional tier called Mochi Pro for $5 a month (or $49 a year).
Pro unlocks Project Workspaces for persistent RAG across massive knowledgebases, Screen Awareness allowing the AI to actually see and understand your active UI, and Deep Research Agents that autonomously scour the internet to compile comprehensive reports while you sleep.
It represents the pinnacle of autonomous desktop computing.
Help Us Build the Future
We are launching entirely bootstrapped. We don't have venture capital telling us to lock your data behind a paywall to hit a Q4 revenue target. Our only investors are our users.
If you love Mochi, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with a friend, tell your engineering teams, and join us on our Product Hunt launch page today to leave your feedback and thoughts!
This is just day one. Grab the download, press ⌥Space, and say hello to your Mac's new private brain.
