Elephas (Beta)12.0001

Index PDFs, contracts, notes, and other Mac documents with Elephas, then ask AI to answer questions using information from your own files. It provides a personal ChatGPT-style workspace for summarizing contracts, drafting proposals, cleaning up emails, and working with material that is too sensitive or extensive to paste into a public chatbot. Your indexed files remain on the Mac, giving the application a persistent local knowledge base for document-focused work.

Before sending a request to a cloud model, Elephas redacts 28 kinds of sensitive information, including names, email addresses, account numbers, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, and case numbers. Offline mode runs the AI entirely on the Mac, so it can still answer questions from indexed documents with Wi-Fi turned off, while supported cloud choices include GPT-5, Claude, and Gemini. This makes it useful for client engagements under NDA, legal research, contracts, tax memos, audit preparation, research libraries, unpublished drafts, portfolio planning, and private journals.

Elephas (Beta) is aimed at professionals and individuals who need AI assistance with confidential documents and notes without giving up control of their files. The freeware runs on macOS 13 Ventura or later and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Current version 12.0001 is presented as a beta release, so users should expect the software to retain that testing-stage designation.
