Backyard Desktop is a locally-running, zero-configuration desktop application powered by large language models (LLMs) that run directly on your Mac or PC's hardware. This local processing ensures complete privacy and prevents any form of 3rd party interference; no one can access your data, filter your conversations, or change the behavior of your AI.

It's beginner-friendly and 100% free to use!
