Why we exist
As consumers, we’re tired of paying monthly fees for tasks that a phone or laptop can do on its own. As business owners, we’ve spent six figures on SaaS—often for a one-time setup wrapped in a forever subscription, with “required” updates that disrupt teams and change workflows on someone else’s schedule.
Clairos takes a different path: build tools that live with you, run on your devices, and respect your time and ownership. No hidden agendas, no captive data—just software you can trust.
A practical stance
- Local-first by default. Your data and computation stay on your machine whenever possible.
- Ownership over rent. Favor one-time pricing or free apps over recurring fees.
- User-controlled updates. Ship improvements thoughtfully—no forced surprises or dark patterns.
- Minimal telemetry. Measure what’s necessary, never sell or broker user data.
Today’s consumer hardware can run efficient, task-focused AI models locally—great for privacy, latency, and reliability. When the cloud is truly required, we’re explicit about why.
