Draggy
Chat with a local model
On first launch Draggy sizes a model to your graphics card and downloads it. Three answering modes, and you can swap the model whenever you like.
A desktop assistant that runs on your own computer.
Draggy talks, browses and works with your files using models on your own machine. It drives a local Ollama, so there is no account and no API key.
Free software under the GPL. Windows, macOS and Linux. Version 1.2.6.
No account
Nothing to sign up for and no key to paste.
No telemetry
None is collected, and there is nowhere to send it.
Your machine
Chats and documents stay on your own disk.
GPL v3
Free to use, read, change and pass on.
What it does
An assistant that can actually do things
Answering questions is the easy half. Draggy also reads your files, writes new ones, searches, and opens pages for itself.
Writes real files
Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, code and plain text, saved where you can open them. Attach a document and it reads that back.
Looks things up
It can search the web, open a result and read it, or drive a real browser session when a page needs clicking through.
Searches your documents
Point it at a folder. The contents are indexed on your own machine and searched on meaning and keywords at once.
Runs short code
Python and JavaScript run in a sandbox, so the model can work an answer out rather than guess at it.
Extends with MCP
Thirty-four Model Context Protocol servers in a catalogue, none of them switched on until you switch one on.
Talks back
A continuous voice mode that works out when you have finished a sentence, answers out loud, and stops when you cut in.
Twelve languages
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic.
Keeps itself current
Updates download in the background and install the next time you open the app. Nothing is installed behind your back.
Voice mode
Say it instead
Voice mode listens continuously and works out when your sentence has ended, so there is no button to hold and no wake word to remember.
- It answers out loud, and stops the moment you cut in.
- Speech recognition and the voice both run on your machine.
- Captions on screen for everything either of you said.
Built-in browser
Pages without the adverts
Links open in a browser window inside the app, running uBlock Origin's filter lists on Ghostery's engine. The model reads the same clean page you do.
- YouTube adverts and anti-adblock walls included.
- Browsing runs in its own session, kept away from the app.
- Switch the blocker off per window when a site needs it.
History
Conversations you can take with you
Every chat is stored on your own disk and searchable from the history list. Any one of them exports to a Markdown file in a click.
- Search across everything you have ever asked.
- Export to Markdown, which every other tool can read.
- A long conversation is condensed rather than dropped.
Requirements
What it needs to run
The model runs on your hardware, so your hardware decides how fast it answers. Ollama has to be installed; Draggy offers to install it if it cannot find it.

Privacy
What actually leaves the machine
Model downloads, searches you or the model trigger, pages the browser opens, the speech models on first use, the ad blocker's filter lists, site icons for search results, the update check, and any extension you switch on. Everything else stays local. There is no telemetry, and nowhere for it to go.
