Everything it does, it does on your machine.

Ragtag is a single desktop app. No servers to run, no account to make, no API key to paste. Here is what it gives you.

Knowledge Pools

Turn folders, websites and searches into an AI you can ask.

A Knowledge Pool is a private library compiled from sources you choose. Point Ragtag at a folder of documents, a website to crawl, or a search keyword, and it reads, understands and indexes the content locally. PDFs, Word, Markdown, text, web pages: all first-class.

  • Folder, website and search sources
  • Readable markdown copy of everything it kept, so you can audit it
  • Nothing uploaded anywhere
Personas

Talk with a character you have shaped, not a search box.

Each pool is answered by a persona: a name, a manner, a system prompt you control. The same knowledge answered by a careful, citing GP reads nothing like a give-me-the-headline assistant. Start from a library of personas or make your own.

  • Reusable across pools and chats
  • Starter library plus fully custom
  • Voices and a living face, if you want them
Grounded chat

Answers from your content, with the receipts.

Ask in plain language. Your persona answers from the retrieved context and cites the source document, so you can click through and check it. When the answer is not in your material, it says so instead of inventing one.

  • Inline citations you can open
  • Says when it does not know
  • Conversations kept on your device
Voice and vision

Hear it, show it.

Give a persona a voice and have it read answers aloud, hands-free if you like. Show it an image or a screenshot and ask about what is in it. All on-device, no cloud speech or vision service in the loop.

  • On-device text-to-speech
  • Image and screenshot understanding
  • Optional, never required
The Smiths

Agents that do the careful, bounded work.

Opt-in agentic tools for research, writing, code and more. They work in bounded steps you can see, ask before they act, and keep their reach to what you grant. Powerful when you want it, off by default.

  • Review-first, visible steps
  • Scoped permissions you control
  • Entirely optional
