DeepWell runs entirely on your Mac. No internet, no cloud, no sign-up. Download it, open it, ask. It is also the simplest way to run AI locally on almost any Mac, including aging Intel machines.
RAM is the deciding factor, and browsers can't read it reliably. So we detect what we can, then ask you to confirm one number. The minimum is 4 GB.
Storms, outages, off-grid stretches, a boat far from shore. DeepWell keeps answering when search engines can't load. It ships with searchable reference packs, and every answer cites the source it drew from.
How do I keep food cold, run on a generator safely, and ration a battery through a multi-day cut?
What do I do for a burn, a deep cut, or a sprain when help is hours away?
How do I purify water, store food without refrigeration, and stay warm through the night?
Most local-AI setups mean a terminal, Python, and hours of model wrangling. DeepWell is purpose-built for aging Intel hardware from 4 GB of RAM up. The hard parts, the engine, the model, the setup, are already handled.
One file, around 1.1 GB with the model included. There is no terminal, no Python, no model files to find or convert. It works the moment it opens.
Give an aging Intel Mac a real second life. Answers are slower than cloud AI, but they are yours and they work with no connection at all.
Get the signed, notarized DMG and drag DeepWell into Applications.
It opens like any Mac app. The model is already inside, ready to load.
Ask anything, or pick a knowledge pack. From here on, you can pull the plug on the internet.
The app comes with the Qwen2.5 1.5B model built in (Apache-2.0, about 1 GB). It loads automatically on first launch and runs on any Mac with 4 GB of RAM. Nothing to download, nothing to set up.
Want stronger answers? Install a larger model like Llama 3.2 3B from inside the app with one click (a one-time download, best on 8 GB+ Macs). Switch between models any time.
Built-in packs for camping & van life, homestead, marine & sailing, and preparedness. Answers cite the pack and passage they came from.
Import any GGUF model you like, and add your own reference documents so DeepWell can search and answer over the material you care about.
DeepWell is a calm, useful field tool. It is not magic, and we would rather you trust it than be surprised by it.
It is slower than cloud AI. A small model on modest, offline hardware takes its time. The trade is that it always works, with no connection and no account.
It is not a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. Treat it as a knowledgeable starting point, not professional advice.
Check anything safety-critical. For medical, electrical, structural or marine decisions, confirm with the cited source and a qualified human where you can.
