Most chatbots want you to keep talking. This one wants you to leave and go live your life. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/523a70e6-8f07-4d67-a5bd-4cb18490e3c8 What It Is empathySync is a local AI assistant built on one design principle: The part of AI that handles your personal life should belong to you. It gives full help on practical tasks - writing, coding, explanations. On sensitive topics (emotional distress, health, relationships, finances), it applies deliberate restraint: brief responses, human redirects, no follow-up questions designed to keep you talking. When it detects crisis signals, it routes to professional resources immediately, without exception. Everything runs on your hardware via Ollama. No cloud. No external API calls. No telemetry. No engagement optimization. Who Uses This Developers who want a privacy-respecting AI assistant with no API keys, no subscriptions, and no data leaving their hardware. Researchers and builders working on ethical AI tooling who want a reference implementation that optimises for user autonomy. The architecture is documented and the pipeline is embeddable. Therapists, counsellors, and domain experts who want to shape how an AI responds to emotional content - the scenarios, responses, and intervention language are plain YAML files. No programming required. See HELP-SHAPE-THIS.md. It is a tool, not a companion or an always-on assistant - meant to be used and set aside.
