AI tools built for real work.

SAM, CLIO, and ALICE form a complete AI ecosystem for macOS and Linux. Native apps, terminal tools, and image generation - all open source, private, and designed to work the way you do.

SAM

Your Mac's AI assistant.

SAM is a native macOS app that understands your entire workflow. Point it at your codebase and it reads across thousands of files. Import documents and search semantically. Launch autonomous agents that work independently on complex tasks.

Run completely offline with local MLX/GGUF models, or connect to a major cloud provider like OpenAI, Anthropic, or GitHub Copilot. Access SAM from any device on your network with SAM Web - perfect for iPad, iPhone, or any browser.

CLIO

AI in your terminal.

CLIO brings AI directly to your command line. Built for portability - lightweight enough for a ClockworkPi uConsole, powerful enough for your daily driver. Runs on macOS and Linux with zero external dependencies.

Run it locally, over SSH, or embed it in your workflow. CLIO remembers what you've worked on and picks up where you left off. Give it a task, get back a solution. CLIO reads, writes, tests, and commits - so you can focus on the bigger picture.

ALICE

A complete AI art platform.

ALICE is a full creative studio for AI image generation. Text-to-image, image-to-image with LoRA support, a private gallery with sharing controls, and a built-in model marketplace for CivitAI and HuggingFace - all running on your own hardware.

Real-time GPU dashboard, admin panel, authentication, and a prompting guide to help you get the best results. Runs on NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon. Integrates with SAM, or use standalone.

Methodology

The Unbroken Method.

More than just software - SAM embodies a complete framework for human-AI collaboration. The Unbroken Method is a systematic approach that maintains continuous context, demands complete ownership, and learns from documented failures.

This methodology enabled the rapid development of SAM itself: a fully-functional native macOS AI assistant with multi-provider support, voice I/O, image generation, document processing, and a comprehensive tool system.

The secret to successful AI collaboration isn't waiting for smarter models. It's implementing better methodology.

Learn the method ->

The Seven Pillars
1. Continuous Context
Never break the conversation. Maintain momentum through checkpoints.
2. Complete Ownership
If you find a bug, fix it. No "out of scope."
3. Investigation First
Read code before changing it. Never assume-verify.
4. Root Cause Focus
Fix problems, not symptoms.
5. Complete Deliverables
No partial solutions. Finish what you start.
6. Structured Handoffs
Document everything for the next session.
7. Learning from Failure
Document mistakes to prevent repeats.

Built for privacy and real work.

Your data stays local

Run everything offline with local models. Only connect to cloud providers when you choose. Your code never leaves your machine.

Understands your documents

SAM reads and indexes your documents, codebases, and projects. Have conversations with your data. Your agent understands context across thousands of files.

Works anywhere you code

CLIO runs on everything from a pocket-sized Linux device to a remote server over SSH. Bring AI to your terminal for refactoring, code generation, and problem-solving.

Remember everything

SAM builds semantic memory across conversations. CLIO recalls context across sessions. Link documents and past work to get smarter responses every time.

Full AI art platform

ALICE gives you a generation studio, private gallery, model marketplace, and admin dashboard. Text-to-image, img2img, LoRA - all local.

Your choice of AI

Run local models for complete privacy, or connect to the cloud providers you already use. All three tools work with the same providers - switch anytime.
