Where Your Notes, Documents, and Knowledge Stay Yours Stop sharing your data with BigTech

Join the Waitlist

A local-first, data-sovereignty-first AI for your personal knowledge. Your documents, your notes, your knowledge, your machine. No cloud harvesters invited.

No spam. No data collection. We're building this because we hate that stuff.

Why qal3a | Our Mission

Remember the pre‑cloud, pre-AI era when your data, your knowledge was really yours? Before we handed our data to Big Tech's clouds for convenience. There was a time when our data actually lived on our own devices, physically, and stayed under our control. Today's “new default” is broken. Every click, document, and conversation is quietly harvested in the name of convenience and “smarter AI.” We push back.

On-device intelligent librarian, that understands you

The qal3a app offers dedicated on-device AI technology focused purely on understanding your personal notes, your documents, your data, not general web knowledge. Easily search and talk about your data and knowledge with qal3a, all locally: on your hardware, with your files.

Local-first, data-sovereignty-first

“Local-first” or “data sovereignty” nowadays often means “syncs to some overseas cloud first chance it gets.” At qal3a data sovereignty is real. Like in the good old days. qal3a is designed around keeping your data under your control. It only syncs your data whereever you want, whenever you want. Your rules. Your benefits.

Instead of bringing your data to AI, qal3a brings AI to your data

A dedicated GenAI stack with local vector store and sophisticated, agentic RAG pipeline on your device. All in the background. You don't manage it. You don't even see it. It just works. A dedicated GenAI stack focused purely on understanding your personal data corpus, not general web knowledge. Your notes, your papers, your history. Semantic search and conversation, all locally.
