About Jan

At its core, Jan is an open-source desktop app that runs large language models locally on Windows, Mac and Linux. In everyday use, it downloads models from Hugging Face, keeps conversations on the device and can also connect to cloud model APIs. That combination makes it a practical pick for people who want capable AI help without juggling several separate apps or losing track of earlier work.
