// about Jan
Jan is an open-source, privacy-first desktop application for running AI models entirely on your own machine. It supports GGUF models from Hugging Face, provides a clean ChatGPT-style interface, and exposes a local API server compatible with the OpenAI format. All conversations and data stay on your device — nothing is sent to the cloud. Jan is particularly popular with privacy-conscious users and developers who want a polished alternative to the command line for running local LLMs.
