About Kompas

Kompas is a local-first desktop app for turning scattered inputs — things you have read, conversations you have had, half-formed ideas you jotted down — into finished work. The framing on the site is deliberately not 'AI writes for you': it gathers material in one place, connects it, and helps you produce output that still reads as yours. It ships for macOS on both Apple Silicon and Intel, and for Windows on x64, and the desktop build is open source under MIT. That build is genuinely free, and the way it gets its intelligence is bring-your-own: connect an OpenAI or Anthropic API key, point it at a Claude Code or Codex subscription you already pay for, or run local models through Ollama. Nothing leaves the device unless you send it somewhere. The paid path, Pro Cloud, exists to remove that setup rather than to unlock features — it adds cross-device sync between your desktops, frontier models built in with no API keys to manage, and an included AI allowance with stated limits and optional top-ups. The site is localised into Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish and Portuguese alongside English, which is a reasonable signal of who is actually using it.
