Why VxNewton

Useful AI, without handing your life to the cloud

VxNewton is built for people who want a capable assistant on their Mac — not a subscription, an account, or another company holding their conversations.

Runs on your Mac

The model runs directly on Apple Silicon using Apple's MLX framework. Your conversations happen on your machine, powered by your Mac's own chip — not a data center.

No account. No sign-in.

Download it, open it, start chatting. There is nothing to register for and no login standing between you and an answer.

Your chats stay on your Mac

Saved conversations and app data live in your Mac's application support folder, under your control. Delete them whenever you like — they're your files.

Web search, when you want it

For current events and live facts, VxNewton can search the web and show you exactly which sources it used. Search is optional — when it's off, nothing leaves your machine during a chat.

A real Mac app

A calm, dark, native-feeling interface with saved chats, streaming answers, and comfortable long-form reading. No terminal, no model files to manage, no setup rabbit holes.

Built on Gemma

VxNewton is powered by Google's Gemma open model family, packaged into a consumer Mac app — the model quality of a major lab, running privately on your own hardware.
