PortableMind

LocalBrain: offline AI that boots when the grid doesnt.

A self-contained assistant on a USB drive. Plug in. Double-click. Get answers, code, and triage without a connection, accounts, or permission. Built for normal days and the days youd rather not have.

No cloud
Everything runs locally. Zero dependency on remote services.
No login
No accounts, trackers, or telemetry. Your machine, your rules.
Grid-ready
Engineered to run when internet, auth, and CDNs dont.
Plug-and-run

Start-Brain launches Ollama and the UI with hardened waits. No drivers. No WSL. No drama.

Real models

Runs open models like Mistral-class 7B on mid hardware. Answers, code, and device triage offline.

Survival mode

A focused persona that defaults to terse, checklist-style guidance for bad-day scenarios.

Portable by design

Lives on a 64GB USB. Keep one at home, one at work, one in your go-bag.

Privacy by default

No phone-home. Works air-gapped. Delete it when youre done.

Grid-down friendly

UI and launcher tolerate slow boots, port conflicts, and flaky systems.

How it works

  1. 1. Plug in the PORTABLEMIND USB.
  2. 2. Run Start-Brain.bat. It brings up the local model and opens the UI.
  3. 3. Ask for help: device triage, checklists, code, planning. No internet required.
  4. 4. Pull the key. Nothing remains installed unless you choose to keep it.
