What is Elephas?
If you work with confidential client files—like contracts, tax documents, or legal research—you know you can’t just paste them into ChatGPT. That’s where Elephas Private AI for Mac comes in. Built specifically for lawyers, consultants, accountants, and other professionals handling sensitive data, Elephas lets you use powerful AI without risking privacy breaches.
Unlike general-purpose chatbots, Elephas keeps your documents indexed locally on your Mac, automatically redacts 28 types of sensitive information (like names, SSNs, and bank details), and gives you full control over whether AI runs offline or in the cloud. It’s designed so you never have to choose between productivity and confidentiality.

- 100% Local Indexing: Your files stay on your Mac—never uploaded or shared.
