Local AI · Windows

Translate & rewrite anywhere. Privately.

Select text in Windows and Butchi appears beside it. Translate or Rewrite runs through a local GGUF model via llama.cpp — without sending your text to a cloud AI service.

Privacy

Your text is not sent to a cloud AI service.

Selected text and generated results are processed by your configured local GGUF model.

History is stored locally on the device. Network access is used when you explicitly download a model from Hugging Face.
