"The mind is like a parachute—it doesn't work if it's not open."
— Frank Zappa
Parachute
Your personal AI computer
Open source. Local-first. Voice-first.
What Is Parachute?
Parachute is an open-source personal AI platform that runs on your machine. It combines the power of Claude Code, the conversational depth of Claude.ai, and a personal knowledge system—all in one integrated experience that connects directly with your everyday thinking.
Instead of scattered tools that forget you exist between sessions, Parachute builds a picture of who you are, what you're working on, and what matters to you. Instead of you learning the system, the system learns you.
How It Works
Parachute Computer
Your personal AI server. Install it on your machine, a VPS, or a Raspberry Pi. It orchestrates AI agents with three tiers of trust, connects to Telegram and Discord, and keeps everything in your vault—plain files you own forever.
If you've used Claude Code, think of this as Claude Code for your whole life, not just your codebase.
LaunchingParachute App
One app, three core views. Chat for AI conversations with full context. Daily for voice journaling—capture thoughts on walks, in the car, wherever you think. Brain to search your personal knowledge graph.
Available on macOS, Android, and web. Daily works offline. Everything else connects to your Parachute Computer.
LaunchingPrinciples
- Local-first. Your data lives on your devices in plain files. If we disappeared tomorrow, your notes would still be there, readable in any text editor.
- Voice-first. Talking is often more natural than typing. We meet people where their thinking actually happens.
- Open source as trust. The only way to deserve trust with personal thinking is transparency. You can see exactly what the software does.
- AI as partner. The goal isn't to automate your thinking. It's to help you think more clearly, remember more completely, make connections you might have missed.
