Thinking Partner

For solo founders

When you are building alone, you need somewhere to kick ideas around that already knows your strategy, constraints and current priorities. Thinking Partner keeps a living brief of you and your work, so every conversation starts mid-stream.

For AI power users

If you are tired of LLM amnesia and assistants that agree with everything, this is for you. Set how the partner should behave, keep personal context on your machine, and stop re-explaining yourself every session.

Context stays on your Mac

Your personal context, chats and knowledge live on your machine. Nothing is locked inside a vendor chat history you do not control.

Independent of any one model

Bring your own models through OpenRouter. Switch providers when something better lands, without rebuilding your setup or paying another monthly chat subscription.

Imports from your current LLM of choice

It takes what Claude or ChatGPT already knows about you, and stores it on your machine in a detailed, structured format that can be used with any model, online or locally hosted.

Links to your existing knowledge bases

You can integrate existing Notion or Obsidian vaults so Thinking Partner can reference your detailed plans. Plus you can give it local access to your inbox to keep an active to-do list.

Get the beta

Download the Mac app, drag it into Applications, then clear Gatekeeper once so the unsigned beta can open.

Download for Mac (Apple Silicon) · Download for Mac (Intel)

After dragging the app into Applications, open Terminal and paste:

xattr -cr "/Applications/Thinking Partner.app"

The app isn’t signed yet while a developer account transfer completes. This clears the quarantine flag macOS adds to unsigned downloads.

Requires an OpenRouter account and API key to use the latest cloud-based models.
