Oct 11, 2026
New version 2026.9.0 → 2026.10.0

Your history now follows you between your own devices. - Sync: turn it on to carry chat history, settings and presets between your devices, through the Whelk Server you run. The record is sealed on your devices, and the server cannot read it. - Drag a message out of a conversation into another app, and drop text into the composer. - iPhone Duo: the chat splits at the tabletop fold, and your draft stays where it was. - Work: start child sessions for parallel work, watch a command's output as it runs, read the diff of each edit, and rewind the workspace to a checkpoint. - An answer that drops with the connection resumes where it stopped. - Tuck is an optional app icon. The mark stays the default. - A new look: warm paper, near-black ink and a tide green accent. - First run reads in every language the app speaks. - The licenses and third-party notices are in the app.

About

An agent that answers to you. Whelk is private AI on hardware you own. Chat with your own models, then arm a conversation with an agent and let it do the work. The record stays on your device, encrypted. YOUR MODELS, IN THE RIGHT ORDER Whelk connects first to Whelk Server, the free server you run on your own Mac or Linux machine. It can also connect straight to a model server you already run, such as LM Studio or Ollama. On an iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple Intelligence, it can use Apple's on-device model. A cloud provider is used only if you add one, and every answer from it is labeled. CHAT AND WORK, ONE SURFACE - Chat with any model you run. - Arm a conversation with an agent, and it works in place. It asks before anything that reaches past its workspace. - Fork a conversation to try another path. - Dictate on device. Your voice stays on the phone. - On a Mac, open a chat from the menu bar, or send selected text from any app through the Services menu. - Turn on sync to carry your history between your devices, end to end encrypted, through your own Whelk Server. PRIVATE BY WHELK No account. No telemetry. No analytics. Whelk talks only to the servers you choose. Whelk is open core: Whelk Server is Apache-2.0, the apps are source-available, and the source opens at launch. FREE FOR EVERYONE Nothing is metered and nothing is for sale. Enterprise governance is coming.
