Frequently asked questions
-
Elephas automatically redacts 28 entity types (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, SSNs, financial details, and more) from your documents before they reach any AI model. Indexing always happens locally on your Mac. You choose whether AI runs offline, through built-in cloud AI with zero data retention, or with your own API keys.
-
Pro+ gives you visibility and control. You can see exactly which entities were redacted in each message, review a detailed redaction log, and configure advanced redaction settings. Think of it as the difference between a locked door and a locked door with a security camera.
-
Yes. Elephas supports fully offline AI using local models. You can run 100% offline with no data leaving your device. Follow this guide to get started.
-
Yes. Elephas works with your PDFs, Word docs, Markdown files, Apple Notes, Notion pages, Obsidian vaults, Zoom transcripts, and 20+ other formats. All indexing happens locally on your Mac.
-
Yes. The free plan includes 20 credits per month with the built-in Elephas AI engine. You can upgrade when you are ready. No credit card required.
-
Credits power the built-in Elephas AI engine. Each plan refreshes monthly:
- Free: 20 credits
- Standard: 100 credits
- Pro: 500 credits
- Pro+: 1,000 credits
Credits are spent on chat through the Elephas engine. Different models cost different amounts per token. Automated indexing (the default mode for new Super Brains) does not consume credits. Older Super Brains using the legacy embedding flow will still consume credits during indexing.
If you need more, you can buy a top-up or use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or local model API keys for unlimited usage.
-
The Mac App Store version includes the Super Brain knowledge workspace feature. For the full Elephas experience including all plan tiers, download directly from elephas.app.
-
Yes. Pro and Pro+ plans let you access your Super Brains across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Build a knowledge base on your Mac and chat with it on the go from your phone or tablet, all under one subscription.
-
No. Local models are optional. Elephas includes built-in cloud AI that runs with zero data retention: providers do not log, store, or train on what is sent. You can also bring your own API keys for unlimited usage.
AI is powerful. Your sensitive work should stay protected.
