Wave17 products

Keep work on hardware you control

Some builders make local processing, local storage or self-hosting a defining part of the product.

Different approaches

Small browser utilities process documents, images or identifiers locally. Larger workspaces and agents keep work on a computer or a self-hosted system. These are different promises: local files do not establish local-only model inference, and some products also support hosted models. The shared idea is giving users a concrete choice over where part of their work happens.

What brings them together
Explicit local processing, offline use, local work storage or self-hosting on user-controlled hardware.
Outside this wave
A desktop client or a general security claim without an explicit local or self-hosted workflow.
