FAQ

Does wavecat send my data to the cloud?

Answer

No. wavecat runs all of its models locally on your machine — there are no data centers involved and nothing is stored off your device. What wavecat sees and learns stays with you.

You can turn off your Wi-Fi and it keeps working, because none of its core intelligence depends on a remote service.

Concretely, that means:

  • Your screen is read by on-device models, and what it reads never leaves your computer.
  • Your activity and the context wavecat builds from it stay on your machine.
  • There’s no cloud account holding your information somewhere else.

Keeping inference on-device is the whole point.

Thank you for downloading wavecat!

Your download should begin automatically.

Getting started

  • Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to finish setup.
  • On first launch, wavecat guides you through installing its vision and language models, which take up roughly 19 GB of disk space.
  • You'll then be asked to allow wavecat to watch your screen. Everything runs locally, so no personal data ever leaves your device.

Hardware requirements

  • Mac: Apple Silicon only, with 24 GB unified memory minimum and 32 GB+ recommended.
  • Windows / Linux: a dedicated GPU with 12 GB+ VRAM (Vulkan, plus CUDA on Windows), or a unified-memory device with 24 GB+ RAM.
  • Nothing is strictly enforced, but wavecat won't run smoothly unless your device meets these requirements.
