Nectar Desktop App
Your personal AI knowledge assistant, powered by the STING platform.
Nectar brings the power of STING to your desktop. Manage knowledge bases, chat with your documents, and protect sensitive data—all running locally on your machine.
What Nectar Does
Honey Jars
Organize documents into searchable knowledge bases with vector-powered semantic search.
Bee AI Assistant
Chat with your documents using your preferred LLM—Ollama for local inference, or cloud providers like OpenAI and Anthropic.
PII Protection
Automatic detection and redaction of sensitive data (SSNs, credit cards, phone numbers, emails) before it reaches any AI model.
Cross-Platform
Native desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Built with Tauri for lightweight performance.
Self-Hosted Docker Stack
Runs 8 optimized containers on your machine. No cloud dependencies—your data never leaves your desktop.
Multiple LLM Providers
Choose how AI processing happens: fully local with Ollama, or connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, and other cloud providers.
Privacy Without Compromise
Nectar's PII protection ensures your sensitive information stays local—even when using cloud LLM providers.
