LOCAL-FIRST · BRING YOUR OWN MODEL

Miaoclaw

◆

The AI assistant that lives on your own PC. It opens your actual files and gets the work done. Data is stored locally by default; task-relevant content is sent to the cloud models or external tools you choose.

FEATURES

It doesn't describe the work. It does the work.

◆
📄

Office work across files

Combine spreadsheets, documents, PDFs and their images in one conversation. The assistant chooses tools and layouts, creates editable files, checks calculations with available software, previews pages and exports matching PDFs. Continue revising in the same conversation; attach your latest copy after editing it elsewhere.

📑

Read text and scanned PDFs

Readable text is extracted directly; scanned pages or image regions can use local OCR as needed. Offline recognition works after the first component and model download. Asking a cloud model to analyse the result sends relevant content to that provider.

🔎

Web research to finished reports

Find relevant sources, compare the information, and turn it into a Word or PDF report. Keep source links alongside the conclusions so you can check the evidence and its limits.

🧪

Model capability you can verify

A real test image checks whether the current endpoint can see images, alongside official and previously confirmed capability data. A temporary network, VPN, quota, or rate-limit failure never erases trusted information. There are 10 quick presets, with 50+ compatible endpoint templates, custom APIs, and multi-key rotation.

📱

Phone, end-to-end encrypted

Pair by QR code; keys never touch the server. Works on any network via a lightweight relay that only ever sees ciphertext. Remove a lost phone with one click.

🐱

A pixel cat, if you want one

An optional desktop pet with attitude, voice input with offline speech recognition, scheduled tasks, a capture-anything notebook, and a mini always-on-top chat window.

💬

Continue from Feishu

A private bot can continue the same conversation, receive and return text, images and files, and work with Bitable records within granted permissions. It stays completely off until configured.

🧠

Recall in everyday language

Ask about earlier chats, notebook entries, knowledge cards or your knowledge base directly in chat. One-off answers do not automatically become lasting preferences. Saved memories can be inspected, edited, disabled or deleted.

WHY IT WORKS

A cute Siamese shell. A rigorous engine inside.

◆

The model understands your task and chooses the tools. Miaoclaw provides file access, permissions, progress and delivery checks. You can reopen the output and preview it when available.

🧠Deliverables that survive being opened

  • Office tools read and edit document structure, following your chosen template, folder and requested changes
  • Checks confirm files were written and can reopen; preview the result when available and ask for changes in the same conversation
  • PDF reading runs a self-built layout engine (density projection + recursive segmentation, tuned for CJK) for true reading order
  • Tables carry a confidence label; results are read back and verified against the file, not just claimed

🔒Security engineered, not promised

  • Everything fetched from the web is wrapped as untrusted material — instructions hidden in pages (or as invisible PDF text) are flagged, never executed
  • API keys go in and never come out: no echo, auto-redacted in logs and error messages
  • Updates prefer a compatible lightweight package and show its download size. A full installer is used when the installed version or runtime components are incompatible; your data is preserved.
  • Corrupted config self-heals; atomic writes survive power loss

Using 3.2.3

On desktop, choose a provider and then a model beside the chat input. Keep automatic model selection if preferred. Adjustable models offer supported thinking levels, including adaptive selection; models without this capability do not show ineffective controls.

Coding Plans and standard APIs can use different keys, endpoints and permissions. Choose the matching connection, and allow background use only when your provider permits it. Your chosen main-chat and desktop-pet models remain separate.

Existing Android users do not need a new APK or another pairing. After the updated PWA interface downloads, fully close and reopen the app; refresh if using a browser. Your PC must stay on with Miaoclaw running. See the full guide (Chinese) and release notes (Chinese).
