LocalPlexity

LocalPlexity is a lite version of Perplexity aimed at 100% privacy and openness. Everything is done locally, in your browser, from searching the web to distilling a response for your question.

You can visit the website at localplexity.pages.dev.

• 100% privacy and openness
• Anonymous searches using a proxy
• Open source
• No ads / No tracking

How It Works

LocalPlexity operates entirely within your browser to ensure complete privacy and openness. Here's a brief overview of how it works:

1. Local Search and Response Generation: When you enter a search query, LocalPlexity scrapes DuckDuckGo search results to find relevant information.

2. Data Processing: The websites are fetched, then @mozilla/readability extracts the essential content and node-html-markdown is converting HTML to Markdown.

3. Response Generation: The data is then passed to a small LLM to generate a response to your query.

All operations are performed locally in your browser, with no personal data being sent to external servers. All communication is anonymized using a proxy to ensure that your searches are not tracked.
