Better Questions,
Better Answers.

LLMs are stateless — they forget you the moment you close the tab. Quiddy gives every question the full context it needs: who you are, what you're building, and how you think. Better context means better questions. Better questions mean vastly better answers.

Review this code for potential race conditions
Found 2 issues:

1. Unguarded shared state — the counter variable is accessed from multiple goroutines without a mutex.

2. Channel close race — closing the channel inside the loop can panic if another goroutine writes concurrently.

SEEK Personas

Design AI behaviour across four dimensions — Sensitivity, Exploration, Expressiveness, and Knowledge. Each combination generates a tuned system prompt automatically.

🗄️

Knowledge Vault

Attach PDFs, specs, code files, and docs to your personas. The vault is injected as context on every message — the AI always knows your project.

🧠

Persistent Memory

Quiddy learns facts about you across conversations — automatically. Your preferences, projects, and context are remembered and reflected in every response.

🔒

100% Local

Your conversations, memories, and vault documents never leave your Mac. The only external calls are to the LLM APIs you configure. Zero telemetry.

25+ Models

Claude 4, GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5, and more. Switch models per conversation. Use Floodgate internally or bring your own API keys.

📊

Usage Metrics

Track every LLM call — input/output tokens, latency, estimated cost by model and persona. Full export to CSV for reporting.

Four dimensions.
Infinite combinations.

SEEK is Quiddy's persona engine. Dial in exactly how the AI thinks, communicates, and approaches problems — then generate a complete system prompt in one click.

Your data lives
on your Mac.

Conversations, memories, vault documents, and API keys are stored locally and never transmitted to Quiddy's servers. We can't read your chats — because we never receive them.

  • API keys stored in macOS Keychain, not plain text
  • Zero telemetry — no usage data collected
  • Full data export and delete any time
  • Works completely offline (no LLM calls needed for the app itself)
  • Open data directory — inspect every file

1

Download & open

Drag Quiddy to Applications. Launch. The built-in server starts automatically — no configuration needed.

2

Tell Quiddy who you are

The first-run wizard asks for your name and a quick description of your work. This seeds your first persona with real context.

3

Pick a starter persona

Choose from Ari (Engineer), Vax (Writer), Tark (Strategist), Nack (Teacher), or Kana (Scientist). Each is pre-tuned and ready to use.

4

Start your first conversation

Use the conversation starter chips below the input, or type your own. Your persona's context, knowledge, and behaviour are all active from message one.
