Question 1

What is Meepi?

Accepted Answer

Meepi is a private AI companion app for Mac. Unlike cloud-based AI assistants, Meepi runs entirely on your device. Your conversations never leave your Mac — not even to the company that made the app. It features 6 unique companions with distinct personalities, persistent memory, and voice conversations.

Question 2

Is Meepi really private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All conversations happen entirely on your Mac using on-device AI. No conversation data is sent to any server — not even to 8 Signs Limited, the company that makes Meepi. Only your account credentials and subscription status are stored remotely. Your actual conversations are never transmitted.

Question 3

Does Meepi work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After initial setup, Meepi works without any internet connection. You can have conversations anywhere — on a plane, in a remote area, or anywhere without connectivity — and your companion is always available.

Question 4

How is Meepi different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT and Claude send your messages to remote servers for processing. Meepi runs entirely on your Mac — the AI never leaves your device. This means complete privacy, no data collection, and the ability to use it fully offline. Meepi is also designed as a personal companion with persistent memory and distinct personalities, not a general-purpose productivity tool.

Question 5

Who are the Meepi companions?

Accepted Answer

Meepi has 6 unique AI companions: James (grounded and real — free on all plans), Marcus (wise and experienced), Jennie (adventurous and curious), Pip (endlessly enthusiastic), Luna (honest in the way your best friend should be), and Sage (quiet, but every word lands). All six unlock with Meepi Premium.

Question 6

What Mac do I need to run Meepi?

Accepted Answer

Meepi requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later and works on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. We recommend at least 8GB of RAM, and 16GB for running Meepi comfortably alongside other apps.

Question 7

Is Meepi free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meepi is free to download for Mac. The free plan includes James, unlimited conversations, and all privacy features. Premium unlocks all 6 companions for $9.99/month, $49.99 for 6 months, or $59.99/year.
