AI tools change. Corporations change. Fineprints change. But.

Your shit should stay yours

Stashed on your Mac, used for your good,
not for someone else's bottom line

What's the fuss?

To be useful, AI needs specifics

Imagine a powerful AI system that knows exactly who you are, what you wanna do, why you wanna do it, who you do it with, and everything else that makes you tick… terribly helpful, or terrifying?

The difference is who owns it, and what they decide to do with it.

We help you build the first one, so you don't have to settle for the second and find out.

With three simple ingredients

In comes the Stache™

Stache takes notes
so you don't have to

Docs, meetings, emails, crazy ideas. You throw it, he stashes it where it belongs. No writing, no organizing, no hassle.

Stache briefs AI tools
so you don't have to

No more generic AI slop. ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever's next. He shares just what they need to know on a need-to-know basis.

Stache doesn't creep
and shuts out others too

All your data sits on your Mac. Plain and simple. Read it, edit it, take it where you need it. It's your shit, not ours.

How things go bad when your data's out there

Lock-in

You get hooked,
and the deal turns sour

You sign on for free, fast, frictionless. You build on it. It becomes the place. Then, slowly, the deal turns. Charges appear. Defaults shift. Reach narrows. The picture you helped build no longer answers to you. The pattern even has a name now: enshittification, the American Dialect Society's 2023 Word of the Year. Facebook, Amazon, Uber. Pick your favorite.

Misuse

Hand it over once,
and it's out of your hands

Sometimes there was no deal at all. Your face from a friend's tag, in a face-rec database. Your voice memo, overheard by a contractor. Your neighborhood ping, in a court warrant. Things you'd have said no to, if anyone had bothered to ask.

The company goes down,
your data goes up for sale

When a company goes bankrupt, you'd lose your data, if you're lucky. If not, your data becomes a liquid asset, sold for scraps. Think DNA from fifteen million people, sold for scraps.

Stache can't fix it all. But he can help you do one thing: refuse to be a source of any of them. When the picture lives on your own computer, in files you control: the deal can't change on you. The company can't disappear with your stuff. Nobody at HQ has anyone's data to get clever with. Stache wants to get ahead of that.
