Local-first history
Everything you've ever asked it sits in your browser, not in a database we own. If we got hacked tomorrow, there would be nothing of yours in there to steal.
Open it and type. No email, no sign-up, nothing tying what you write to your name. Photograph a letter you don't understand, paste in a contract before you sign it, get help with the kids' homework, or draft the message you've been putting off.
No account. No email. Start typing in seconds.
Not a feature list. These are ordinary things it handles, and which part of it does the work.
I got this letter from the council and I don't understand what they want from me.Photo · free planTake a picture of it. You get it back in plain language, with what you actually have to do.
Here's the rental contract. Is there anything in here I should be worried about?Documents · free planUpload the PDF and ask. It reads the whole thing, not just the first page.
My daughter is stuck on this maths problem and I've forgotten how to do it.Chat · free planPhotograph the exercise. It explains the method so you can teach it, not just the answer.
Write a polite email cancelling the appointment without sounding like I'm making excuses.Chat · free planTell it the tone you want. If it comes out too formal, say so and it fixes it.
Turn these receipts into a spreadsheet I can give the accountant.Files · PlusA real .xlsx downloads. No copy-pasting into anything else.
What's in this jar? The label is in Greek.Photo · free planIt reads labels, signs and menus in languages you don't.
Did the rules on this actually change this year, or am I reading something old?Web search · PlusIt checks live sources and shows you the links, so you can see the date yourself.
I want to ask something embarrassing and I don't want it saved anywhere.Anonymous mode · free planOne tap. Not stored on our side, and not in your browser either.
It's not just a text box. It reads documents, sees images, listens, searches the web, uses live data and builds files, all in a calm interface.
Everything you've ever asked it sits in your browser, not in a database we own. If we got hacked tomorrow, there would be nothing of yours in there to steal.
For the question you'd rather not leave lying around. One tap and the chat isn't saved anywhere, not even on your own machine. Close it and it's gone.
“Did the rules on this change this year?” It goes and checks, and shows you where it got the answer. Deep search opens the full pages when a headline isn't enough.
Make a picture for the party invite, the presentation, the shop window. Edit it until it's right, then download it.
Photograph the medicine box, the parking sign in a language you don't read, the letter from the bank. It reads it back to you in plain words. Works on the free plan.
Talk instead of typing, which matters when you're on a phone with one hand full. Free plan included.
Share prices, crypto and the weather come from live sources, so it gives you today's number instead of one it half-remembers.
For the ones worth getting right. It takes longer and thinks it through before answering, instead of saying the first plausible thing.
Drop in the rental contract, the insurance policy, the 80-page report nobody wants to read. Ask what's in it, what's unusual, what it means for you. Up to around 2,000 pages at once on Pro.
Ask for a budget and a real spreadsheet downloads. Ask for a letter and it's a Word file. Charts, QR codes and maths too, no copy-pasting into another app.
Chat is the easy part. What makes it usable day after day is everything around it: structure, memory and files that are where you left them, without any of it moving to a server.
Tell it you're here to study, to cook, to travel or to work, and it stops answering everything the same way. Seven to pick from, change whenever.
7 spacesKeep the house move in one place and work in another, each with its own standing instructions, so you stop explaining who you are every time you open it.
It remembers you're vegetarian, or that you're learning Italian, so you don't repeat yourself. You can read every single thing it remembers, and delete any of it.
Fully editableThat document you uploaded last month is still findable, instead of buried in a conversation you can't remember the name of.
Keeping everything on one device is the whole point, and also the risk if you lose the phone. Back it up to your own Google Drive, or save a file yourself.
Your Drive, not oursIf you find it too chatty, or not chatty enough, change it. Five ready-made personalities, or describe how you want it to talk and it will.
NOLO shows what it's doing: reading, searching, reasoning, generating, exporting. So you can follow along, instead of trusting a black box.
Ask, upload a document, attach an image, or open a focused tool from the chat.
NOLO separates instructions, learned preferences, files, tools and the current conversation.
Uses the right capability: web search, file reading, images, live data or deep reasoning.
Answers, files and exports come back to the same space with a clear status.
We don't promise magic. We just send less of your data in the first place, and tell you the truth about the rest.
History lives in your browser, not in a NOLO database. Some prompts still travel to the AI and tool providers, but only what's needed to answer.
NOLO helps organize, draft and review. It doesn't replace a qualified professional, doesn't create attorney-client privilege on its own, and doesn't guarantee accuracy. Important outputs should be checked against primary sources.
An honest comparison with DuckDuckGo Duck.ai, Brave Leo, Venice, Proton Lumo and Le Chat, on the things that decide it: what they know about you, what you can actually finish, and what it costs.
Paid plans raise daily capacity and unlock heavier features. Stripe processes payments; NOLO doesn't store card data.

For daily professional work.
Same app, same anonymous ID, same chats on your device. Now with an icon on your home screen.
NOLO needs no account and no email: the first visit generates an anonymous device ID and that's your login. It runs in the browser and as an Android app, with real-time web search, image generation, document analysis and up to 1,000,000 tokens of context on Pro. It doesn't use frontier models, so it competes on privacy, honest pricing and long context instead of raw intelligence.
Yes, but only on YOUR device (the browser's localStorage). If you clear the browser, they're gone. We have no server holding "your chats", to us they don't exist.
Because we don't want to know it. The first time, we generate an anonymous ID (e.g. nolo_a7b3_x9k2): that ID is your account. No email = no spam and no tracking.
No. Your message reaches the model provider, gets answered and is discarded. The providers we use operate under zero-data-retention terms and are SOC 2 Type II audited.
Yes, on every plan. Upload screenshots, scanned documents, diagrams or photos: NOLO extracts the text and describes the image.
Yes, NOLO is on Google Play. It's the same app with the same anonymous ID and the same on-device history, plus a home-screen icon and share-to-NOLO from other apps. A direct APK is still available if you'd rather not go through Play, and the web app works in any mobile browser. Note that subscriptions bought inside the Android app are billed and cancelled through Google Play rather than Stripe.
No investors, no growth-at-all-costs, no tracking. NOLO exists because an AI should help you without needing to know who you are.
No sign-up hoops. Nothing about your chats sitting on our servers. Just a fast space to think, with the tools in plain sight.
