Why Ecliptic exists

ECLIPTIC AI · POWERED LOCALLY BY PHOBOS

A little model.
A helpful companion.

Meet Phobos, our own small AI model, fine-tuned for Ecliptic's desktop help. It works with desktop tools to look things up and explain what it finds.

The included model can run on your processor, on supported hardware. Local Help needs no paid AI account.

Built on Qwen3.5 · Fine-tuned for Ecliptic

Ask in your own words.

From “What is a workspace?” to “Turn on do not disturb.”

You stay in control.

Review supported settings changes before applying them. Undo where available.

Your computer. Your choice.

Use local Help or choose an optional cloud provider. Cloud services may have their own costs.
