Hob is a free, open-source AI app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It works with your files the way ChatGPT and Claude do, but the AI runs entirely on your own computer. Hob figures out which open model your machine can handle, then sets it up for you. Once installed, Hob can read and edit files in folders you choose, turn spreadsheets into charts, fill in PDFs, look at photos, and search the web. Because everything runs locally, your chats and files never leave your computer, and you can keep using Hob even when you're offline.
