Tools

Useful on their own. Your files stay on your machine.

Each of these does one job, in your browser or on your own Mac, with no account and no upload. They are also how chanio thinks: files you keep, models you rent, a meter you can read.

in your browser
A notebook that answers
Write or paste notes, then ask them questions. The notes, the search and the model all run in the tab; download everything as Markdown whenever you like.
in your browser
ChatGPT export → Markdown
Drop the ZIP OpenAI emailed you; get one Markdown file per conversation plus wikilinked topic pages. Nothing uploaded.
in your browser
Claude export → Obsidian vault
The same converter for Claude's data export. Opens as a vault; lights up the graph view.
in your browser
AI token calculator
A month of your questions in tokens: how many stay on your Mac, and how many go out in one nightly batch to a bigger AI.
in your browser
Which AI model fits your Mac?
Pick by memory: the safe default, the bigger brain that fits, and the one command to switch.
in your browser
Export rescue
The full version: graph preview, topic map, a structured sample capture, and the Obsidian vault download.
on your Mac
The meter, recorded
What the starter's meter keeps: answers on your Mac, sends to Claude measured to the token, estimates labelled. A recorded session, not a simulation.
on your Mac
The chanio starter
One line on a Mac: a small AI that answers from your notes, a folder of plain files, the door in your browser, a morning summary and the meter.
