How it worksBUILT AROUND YOUR WORKFLOW
Bring what you know.
Keep what works.
A simple workspace that leaves the teaching decisions with you.
Reference material, not model training. PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and text supported.
TAKE YOUR DRAFT WITH YOU
.docx.pdf.md.html.txt
Export before closing. Unsaved drafts do not persist between sessions.
PRIVACY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
Your classroom
isn't a data source
for a cloud AI.
In the inspected version 0.8.0 Mac app source, Local School processes papers, prompts, and drafts on your device, with no cloud AI fallback. Both Mac packages contain the same inspected app source. Windows-specific storage and network behavior still needs verification.
Read the desktop privacy guideStorage is clearly explained.
Unsaved papers and drafts clear when you close the app. Curriculum text stays saved locally and is not encrypted by the app.
You choose what leaves.
Exports go where you save them. A cloud-synced folder can upload a file. Device access, backups, and school policies still matter.
Local processing and installer notarization are not compliance certifications. Local School has not completed an independent security audit. Follow your school's requirements before using student information.

Read purchase terms
Do I need a separate AI app or account?
No separate AI app or Local School account is required inside the current desktop app. Download and load a model in Model library, then use the toolkit.
Does Local School work without internet?
Once a model is downloaded and loaded, generation can run offline. Downloading the app and public model files requires internet. Model files come from Hugging Face's download infrastructure.
Does adding curriculum train the model?
No. Local School finds matching passages in selected documents and supplies excerpts to supported requests. The underlying model is unchanged. Check the reference excerpts and the generated claims.
Can I use it to grade student papers?
Paper feedback drafts suggestions using your assignment and rubric. You must check the evidence, scores, and wording. The included models have not been validated for dependable grading, and you make the final assessment decisions.
Does Defend Your Learning detect AI use?
No. It generates five questions grounded in a paper to support a discussion of understanding. Neither the questions nor a student's answers establish AI use, authorship, or misconduct.
Will my work be there when I reopen the app?
Curriculum references and downloaded models remain saved locally. Papers, chats, and unsaved drafts clear when you close the app. Export the work you want to keep.
What kind of support is available?
Email team@localschool.ai. Support is email only; we do not offer phone or live chat support. We're a small team, so responses may take time. Please include your app version and a short description of the issue, without student information.
