ModelPiper. The AI platform for Mac.
Talk to your Mac. Skip the config.
ToolPiper gives your local model 459 tools to act on your Mac: voice, files, browser, automation and more. Everything Ollama does, free, with none of the setup.
Local by default. Cloud only when you choose it.
Apple Silicon · macOS 26+ · Free
01 / Setup
The tools exist. Getting them working is the job nobody signed up for.
You wanted to use AI locally. What you got was:
- 26 Ollama environment variables and terminal commands
- MCP servers that fill your model's context until it can't respond
- A setup that breaks between machines and updates
- Chat. Just chat. No tools. No agents. No action.
ToolPiper is what Ollama should have been.Start it up, pick your model, and talk.
02 / Voice
Talk to your Mac. Free. Instant. Local.
Voice chat, or just single voice commands. The new normal way to use AI. Dictation anywhere: no more typing, unless you want to. The speech models run on your Mac's Neural Engine, and your audio stays there. Cloud only when you choose it.
| ToolPiper Voice | Wispr Flow | System dictation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on-device | Yes (Neural Engine) | Cloud | Yes |
| Monthly cost | $0 | $12 to $15 | Built in |
| Voice commands that run system actions | Yes, across 26 system domains | No (Command Mode edits, drafts and searches) | Limited |
03 / Tools
459 tools on a local model. Without breaking it.
Hand a local model every tool at once and the definitions crowd out the conversation. ToolPiper's full library is over 100,000 tokens of tool definitions, three times the 32,768-token window it gives a local model.
PiperMatch, ToolPiper's on-device tool matcher, reads your request and picks the tools that apply. ToolPiper sends only those, within one eighth of the model's window. Your model can reach all 459 tools and keeps the rest of its context for you.
That is how a 459-tool platform runs on hardware that fits in a backpack.
04 / Free
Start free. Pay only when you want it to do more.
The model runner, voice and 206 tools are free, because free is how you beat Ollama at its own game, and how your AI stays on your machine instead of in someone else's cloud.

Max is $49/mo with no usage caps on local models. Google AI Ultra and Claude Max 20x cost about $200 a month each, so one year of either pays for 48 months of Max.
Compare every plan05 / Own it
The cloud bill doesn't stop. Your Mac does the everyday work for free.
Google AI Ultra and Claude Max 20x run about $200 a month. Ultra passes the price of a new Mac mini ($899) in five months, and you own nothing at the end. That Mac has 16GB, enough for the smaller models that handle everyday work, and more memory runs bigger ones. It will still be running models in five years. The subscription renews next Tuesday.
Stanford researchers found the best local model answered 71.3% of real-world chat and reasoning queries correctly in 2025, up from 23.2% in 2023.
ToolPiper is the software that makes your Mac the answer.
How is this different from Ollama?
Ollama runs models. ToolPiper makes them useful. The free tier replaces Ollama with upstream llama.cpp, an Ollama-compatible API and nothing to configure, then adds what Ollama doesn't have: voice, an MCP host and 206 tools that act on your Mac. Download it, pick a model and talk.

Apple builds models. ToolPiper builds what any model can reach: 459 tools that act on your files, your browser and your Mac, driven by voice or chat. Every faster Apple chip makes ToolPiper more capable with no change on our side, because the work runs on the Mac you already own.
What about Anthropic or OpenAI building this?
They make models. ToolPiper makes any model useful on your Mac, including theirs. Run a local model for free, or with Pro bring your own provider, and the same tools work with a cloud model in chat, voice and the API. Your tools stay the same when you change the model behind them.
Can a local model really do this?
Yes. Stanford researchers found the best local model answered 71.3% of real-world chat and reasoning queries correctly in 2025, up from 23.2% in 2023. For the hardest tasks, Pro lets you bring your own provider and run chat, voice and the API on a cloud model.
Won't 459 tools fill my model's context?
That is the problem ToolPiper solves. The full library is over a hundred thousand tokens of tool definitions, about three times a local model's context window. So ToolPiper reads each request and sends your model only the tools that apply, within one eighth of its window. You get the whole library; your model sees what it needs.
