GDPR compliance

GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by promise.

Most cloud AI tools hand you a Data Processing Agreement and call it GDPR compliance. Airplane AI has nothing to agree to, because there is no data transfer.

No data transfer, no Article 28 obligation

No processor agreement needed.

GDPR Article 28 requires a signed DPA when you send personal data to a third-party processor. Airplane AI processes everything on your device. No data leaves. No third party exists. No DPA needed.

Article 9 sensitive data

Safe for health, legal, and HR data.

Medical records, legal files, employee data, therapy notes. Under GDPR Article 9, processing sensitive personal data in cloud AI is a legal minefield. With Airplane AI, there is no cloud processing. The obligation simply does not arise.

Verified by construction

A DPO can verify this in 10 minutes.

Open the app in Activity Monitor. Watch the Network column. Zero bytes sent. Every build is verified by CI scripts that fail if any network symbols appear in the binary. This is not a policy. It is a technical constraint.

NDA compliance

The AI your NDA* actually allows.

Most NDAs prohibit sending confidential information to third-party services. Cloud AI is a third-party service. Airplane AI is not.

No disclosure vector

Nothing leaves your device.

The core concern in most confidentiality clauses is disclosure to third parties. Airplane AI removes the disclosure vector entirely. Your prompts are processed locally and never transmitted anywhere. There is no third party to disclose to.

Client work, M&A, litigation

Use it on your most sensitive projects.

Draft NDAs. Review contracts. Summarize deposition transcripts. Analyze deal memos. Work that your NDA would never allow you to paste into ChatGPT is safe in Airplane AI, because nothing leaves the room.

For your legal team

Show them the entitlements file.

The app ships with a single entitlement: app sandbox. No network access entitlement exists. Your legal team or DPO can read the entitlements file in under a minute and confirm: outbound connections are architecturally impossible.

* NDA stands for Non-Disclosure Agreement. The D is for Disclosure. Airplane AI discloses nothing to anyone. Your data never leaves your Mac. It cannot. That covers the disclosure angle completely. But every NDA is different. If yours contains clauses beyond non-disclosure, such as restrictions on tools, software categories, or specific obligations around AI use, read those carefully. We do not know what else is in your NDA. Nobody does except you and the other party.

Works anywhere

On a plane. In a tunnel. In the middle of nowhere.

Every other AI stops when your connection does. Airplane AI keeps going. Always.

Airplane mode, literally

Drop Wi-Fi mid-sentence. Keep typing.

The model runs entirely on your Mac's GPU. No ping to a server. No loading spinner waiting for a response. Turn on airplane mode right now and ask anything. It works because there is nothing to connect to.

Trains, tunnels, hotels

Terrible hotel Wi-Fi is no longer your problem.

Conference Wi-Fi with 500 people on one router. Train tunnels at 250 km/h. Underground car parks. Remote job sites. Wherever you are when you need to think, Airplane AI is already there.

Corporate firewalls

Your IT department cannot block it.

Many enterprises block external AI services at the firewall. Airplane AI makes no outbound connections, so there is nothing to block. It works on the most locked-down corporate network because it does not use the network at all.

Who uses Airplane AI

Finally: an AI you're actually allowed to use.

Every other AI sends your words to a cloud server. That's why your compliance team said no. Airplane AI is different. Everything stays on your Mac.

⚖️
Lawyers & Legal Teams

Client confidentiality isn't optional. Airplane AI never touches your client data. It never could. There is no server to send it to.

🏥
Doctors & Therapists

Patient data stays in the room. GDPR Article 9 and HIPAA apply to cloud AI. They don't apply here, because nothing leaves your Mac.

💼
Consultants & Advisors

Every engagement is under NDA. Your client's strategy goes nowhere. Not to OpenAI. Not to Anthropic. Nowhere.

📊
Finance & HR Professionals

Salary data, performance reviews, M&A strategy. Numbers stay in the room. Like a good CFO.

🔬
Researchers & Academics

Pre-publication data is your IP. Your research trains nothing. Not now, not ever, not in a future update.

💸
Anyone tired of subscriptions

ChatGPT costs $240/year. Airplane AI costs €29.99 once. Year 2 is free. Year 3 is free. Forever.

Where it saves you

Works when every other AI can't.

✈️ On a flight

Wi-Fi just died.

Cloud AI: offline. Airplane AI: keeps going. Works at 35,000 feet. Works in the subway. Works in the middle of nowhere. No signal needed.

🔒 Under NDA

You can't send that anywhere.

Client contract. Patient notes. M&A strategy. Airplane AI never leaves your Mac. Your prompt never touches a server. Not even for a millisecond.

🇪🇺 GDPR & compliance

Your DPO said no to cloud AI.

And they were right. Airplane AI is GDPR-compliant by construction, not by checkbox. No data transfer means no data transfer risk. The obligation doesn't exist if the transmission doesn't exist.

🚫 Rate limits

"You've reached your limit."

Upgrade, wait, or switch to the slower model. Airplane AI has no limit. Nobody else is on the queue. It's your Mac. It runs as fast as your Mac runs.

The math

ChatGPT costs more per year than Airplane AI costs ever.

ChatGPT Plus $240 / year
Claude Pro $240 / year
Airplane AI €29.99 once

Break even vs. ChatGPT in 6 weeks. After that, every month is free. Year 2 is free. Year 5 is free. It never asks for another payment.

How it works

Download. Open. Chat.

No account. No setup. No API key. Just AI on your Mac.

  1. 1
    Download from the Mac App Store.

    The AI model is bundled inside. Nothing to configure, no separate download, no account to create.

  2. 2
    Open the app.

    Loads onto your Mac's GPU. Ready in seconds. Works without Wi-Fi from the first launch.

  3. 3
    Ask anything.

    Type, paste images, dictate with your voice. Everything stays on your Mac. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Why it's actually private

Every other AI promises privacy.
We make it impossible to break.

Most AI tools say "we respect your privacy." We say: the app physically cannot send your data anywhere. macOS enforces that at the kernel, not in a terms of service.

🔐 No internet access

The app cannot reach the internet.

Not "we don't send your data." The operating system prevents it. We verify this at every build. You can verify it yourself: open Activity Monitor, search for Airplane AI, check the Network tab. Zero bytes. Always.

🤫 No account means no identity

We don't know who you are.

No email. No login. No payment history linked to your questions. We can't know who's asking what. There's no connection between you and us at all.

🧠 Your words train nothing

Your questions disappear when you close the app.

The AI model is frozen. It cannot learn from you. Your conversations are stored only in your own Mac's local storage, and only if you want them to be.

Questions

Everything you want to know.

Is it safe for work covered by NDA?
For the general case: yes. Your prompts never leave your Mac. Nothing is sent to a vendor. Nothing is cached on a server. If your NDA prohibits sharing client information with third-party AI services, Airplane AI removes that path entirely. There's no third party. There's no disclosure. Read your specific NDA for unusual clauses. Every NDA is different.
Is it GDPR-compliant?
By construction, not by promise. GDPR obligations are triggered by personal data leaving your control. Airplane AI ensures data never leaves your Mac. No data transfer means no data processing obligation. No processor agreement needed because there's no processor. A lawyer or DPO can verify this in under 10 minutes.
Does it actually work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. That's the whole point. The AI model lives inside the app. Everything runs locally. Drop Wi-Fi mid-conversation. Keep going. Fly. Work underground. Travel to a conference with unreliable hotel Wi-Fi. It doesn't matter.
How good is the AI?
For everyday work: excellent. Writing, editing, coding, research, translation, analysis, summarizing, brainstorming. It uses Google's open Gemma model, running at full speed on your Mac's GPU. Expect answers in under a second. It won't do what GPT-4 can do with a million-token context and live web search. But for the private, focused work you actually need AI for, it's more than enough.
Why buy this when ChatGPT has a free tier?
ChatGPT's free tier uses your conversations to train future models, requires an account, needs internet, and rate-limits you constantly. Airplane AI is private, offline, unlimited, and owned, not rented. And if you're using AI for confidential work, ChatGPT's free tier isn't an option at all.
What are the requirements?
Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later), macOS 15 Sequoia or later, and 16 GB of RAM minimum. If you have a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, you're almost certainly set.
How big is the download?
About 4.5 GB. The AI model is bundled inside the app. Nothing to download separately, no configuration. Big download once, then it's done.
What happens if my Mac breaks?
It's a Mac App Store purchase. Redownload it on any Mac with your Apple ID. No extra charge.
What you need

Three things.

Own your AI.
Pay once. Done.

€29.99. One purchase. No renewal. No account. Works offline, under NDA, anywhere your Mac goes.
