PearPie

PearPie is a private AI chat application designed so conversations remain under the user's control. The app runs local models on-device (free and offline) and offers premium models hosted in European regions under data processing agreements, allowing users to pick the model per conversation. PearPie uses a peer-to-peer encrypted sync architecture and an identity model based on a device-generated key so there is no account, no email, and no central conversation history stored on PearPie servers.

PearPie is out on Mac, Windows, Linux and mobile. No account, no setup, nothing to learn: your conversations stay on your own devices, and premium models run in Europe.

Key Features

No account / Device key identity

Your device generates a key the first time you open PearPie; there is no email, password, or account form and PearPie does not use cookies or analytics.

Local models and offline use

Local models run on-device, are free, work offline, and never leave your device.

Choose model per conversation

Pick between frontier models, hosted open-source models, or on-device open-source models per conversation and switch mid-chat.

Peer-to-peer encrypted sync

Conversations sync between your devices peer-to-peer and encrypted with no server copy.

European-hosted premium models

Premium models run in EU regions under data processing agreements on listed providers.

Drop-in documents and images

You can drop in documents and images where the chosen model supports it; these are handled either locally or by the selected hosted model.

Cross-platform apps

Free 100 credits per install is capped at the first 1,000 installs (as stated on the site).
Linux builds: auto-update isn't wired up on Linux yet; users must manually return for new builds.
