Show HN: Pulse Local, a Mac budgeting app whose AI models run on your machine

AI summary

Pulse Local is a Mac budgeting app that utilizes AI models running directly on the user's machine. This local processing means user data remains on their device, addressing privacy concerns. While the AI models are not as advanced as frontier models for open-ended questions, they perform well with code-driven tasks. When a check is enabled, a money-related answer takes 12 to 14 seconds, and if two readings differ, Pulse indicates uncertainty.

Why this one

Unlike most AI-powered budgeting tools that process data in the cloud, Pulse Local runs its AI models entirely on the user's Mac, keeping financial data private.
