Everything you need to know about Aspen, your local-first personal AI companion. Still stuck? Reach out to support.
Yes. Aspen runs on your own device and keeps your files, notes, and conversations there. Cloud services are optional — the app works and keeps your context on your machine by default.
No. Aspen is a normal desktop and mobile app: one download, no terminal or command line. The only setup is adding your AI subscription or keys, then you're ready. It's a general-purpose agent for research, writing, planning, and automation that also happens to be great for coding.
Yes. Aspen is built for desktop and mobile, so your projects and context follow you across your devices.
Yes. Bring the plans you already pay for: Aspen works with your ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok subscriptions. Prefer API keys? Connect your own for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, local models via Ollama, and more. You're never locked into a single provider.
Always. Anything Aspen helps you create is yours to edit, export, and take elsewhere. There's no lock-in.
Privacy is the default, not a setting. Your data stays on-device unless you explicitly choose a cloud feature, and you stay in control of what leaves your machine.
Yes. You can download Aspen and start for free. Paid plans unlock more as your needs grow — no credit card required to begin.
Research and summarize your files and the web, draft and rewrite in your voice, turn ideas into plans, and automate repetitive routines — all from one calm, private workspace.
