# Thuki

> A floating, fully-local AI secretary for macOS. Double-tap Control to summon a system-wide overlay. Ask anything. Powered by local language models via Ollama. Zero cloud, zero API keys, zero telemetry. Open source, free, Apache 2.0.

Thuki is built for the moments between work, not the work itself: quick throwaway questions, fast summaries, slash-command actions on selected text. Long-term direction is a fully agentic assistant that handles Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and other apps via MCP integrations.
