AI Guard
Local AI. Your boundaries.
Use local AI with deliberate boundaries around your data. AI Guard brings file permissions, network rules, and related application components into one place.

01 / Why it exists
Keep your data within your rules.
A local model still runs through applications, helpers, and child processes. AI Guard is built around that complete application scope: define what it may read, what it may change, and where it may connect, then review its activity in one workspace.
Control connections
Keep network access and endpoint rules with the application profile, so connectivity is a deliberate part of the workflow.

Review related executables, helpers, and observed child processes together. Keep policy and activity close to the application they belong to.

of your day.
- 01
Choose the application
Add the model runner and review its discovered components.
- 02
Define the boundaries
Set file permissions and network rules for that application profile.
- 03
Review activity
Use the activity journal to understand access decisions and refine your rules.
Local policies
Application profiles and access policies are kept on the Mac. AI Guard does not upload model prompts or file contents to a developer service.
Activity metadata
Local activity history can contain application identities, paths, endpoints, and access decisions. Treat diagnostic exports as private.
Background service
The application uses a privileged local service for access decisions. macOS permissions and the supplied build determine which integrations are available.
