Frequently Asked Questions

How is SafeRag different from ChatGPT or Claude?

SafeRag runs entirely on your Mac using local AI models (via Ollama). Unlike cloud-based services, your data never leaves your device. You get AI capabilities without privacy compromises.

Do I need Ollama installed?

SafeRag includes one-click Ollama installation and model management. The app guides you through downloading your first AI model. Everything is automated.

What AI models can I use?

SafeRag supports all Ollama models including Llama 3.2, Mistral, Gemma, and many more. You can download and switch between models instantly within the app.

Is it really GDPR and HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Since all data stays on your Mac, there's no data processor or third-party risk. SafeRag includes audit logs, data export, and encryption reporting required for compliance.

How does RAG document intelligence work?

Upload documents and SafeRag creates local vector embeddings. When you ask questions, the app finds relevant document sections and includes them as context for AI responses.

Can multiple people use the same SafeRag installation?

Yes! SafeRag supports multiple users with individual accounts. The first user becomes admin and can create additional user accounts with different permission levels.

What are the system requirements?

SafeRag requires macOS 14.0 or later. For best performance, we recommend Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) with at least 8GB RAM. Works on Intel Macs but may be slower.

Is there a mobile version?

Currently SafeRag is macOS-only. An iOS companion app for viewing chat history is on our roadmap.
