About

NativeMind is a browser assistant that runs AI models entirely on the user's own device. It connects to a local Ollama installation to serve open models such as DeepSeek, Qwen, and Llama, so prompts, page content, and answers never leave the machine.

It adds the common assistant features, summarising pages, answering questions, drafting text, translating, directly in the browser, but with no cloud service in the loop and no account required. It is open source.

It is aimed at people who want a private, offline-capable browser assistant for reasons of confidentiality, cost, or independence from a provider, and who are comfortable running a local model.

Why we picked it

NativeMind earns its spot as the privacy-first pick in a category dominated by cloud assistants — running open models locally through Ollama means prompts and page content genuinely never leave the machine, worth it for anyone who's never trusted a browser assistant with sensitive tabs.
