⚡ 30-second me faisla

Hob ek free, open-source desktop app hai jo ChatGPT aur Claude jaisa kaam karta hai, lekin AI tumhare apne computer par chalata hai. Koi account nahi, koi subscription nahi, koi telemetry nahi — tumhari chats aur files tumhare computer se bahar nahi jati. Ye tumhare hardware ke hisaab se sabse achha open model khud chun kar setup kar deta hai, phir files padhta aur edit karta hai, PDFs bharta hai, spreadsheets se chart banata hai, photos dekhta hai, aur web search band karke poora offline bhi chalta hai. Keemat: poora free (MIT licence). Shart: kam se kam 8 GB RAM chahiye (16 GB roz ke kaam ke liye, 32 GB+ par best), aur local model frontier cloud models jitna taqatwar nahi — ye creator khud maanta hai. 26 October 2026 ko launch hua bilkul naya product hai. Privacy chahne wale students, freelancers aur professionals ke liye jinke paas decent computer hai — aaj hi free me try karne layak; kamzor computer ya sabse taqatwar model chahne walon ke liye abhi cloud tools hi theek rahenge.

Ye tool kya hai?

Har AI app tumhari files cloud par bhejkar jawab deta hai — chahe wo tumhara resume ho, client ka spreadsheet ho ya personal notes. Hob is ulta raaste par chalta hai: model hi tumhare computer par download hota hai, aur poora kaam wahin hota hai.

Banane wale Christian (Frigade ke cofounder) ne Product Hunt par seedha bataya ki unhone saare local AI apps try kiye — lekin koi bhi ChatGPT/Claude apps jaisa files par kaam nahi karta tha. Koi sirf chhota text file chat me paste kar deta tha, koi hosted model par default chala jata tha (jisse privacy ka matlab hi khatam), koi paid plan ki taraf dhakelta tha. Hob in teeno problem ka jawab hai: files par asli kaam, poora local, poora free.

Khaas features (jo ise alag banate hain)

1. Setup khud hota hai — model chunne ka jhanjhat nahi

Local AI ki sabse badi dikkat setup hoti hai: kaunsa model, kitna bada, kahan se download karein? Hob ye sab khud sambhalta hai — tumhare computer ki memory dekhkar sabse achha frontier open-weight model chun kar install kar deta hai. Site par Qwen, Gemma aur GPT-OSS ke cards dikhte hain, aur tumhare hardware ke hisaab se ek “Picked for you” hota hai. Matlab tumhe GPU, quantization ya model naam ke chakkar me nahi padna.

2. Files par asli kaam — sirf chat nahi

Ye Hob ka sabse bada farak hai. Tum Hob ko apne chune hue folders ki access dete ho, aur wo:

  • Files padhta aur edit karta hai — koi badlav karne se pehle poochta hai, aur badlav undo ho sakta hai
  • PDFs bharta hai aur documents ke saath kaam karta hai
  • Spreadsheets se chart banata hai — jaise site ke demo me Q3 sales data se quarterly report aur revenue chart banta dikhta hai
  • Word, Excel aur PowerPoint files ke saath kaam karta hai
  • Photos aur screenshots dekhta hai aur un par jawab deta hai
  • Code sandbox me chalata hai — matlab calculation aur data kaam ke liye code likhkar khud run kar sakta hai

3. Privacy jo feature nahi, poora design hai

  • Model tumhare computer par chalta hai — chats aur files kahin upload nahi hoti
  • Koi telemetry nahi — official site ye seedha kehti hai
  • Tum choose karte ho Hob kya dekh sakta hai — sirf wahi folders share hote hain jo tum allow karo, baaki (jaise Personal, Photos) shared nahi hote
  • Web search band karne par poora offline — Settings > Privacy me Web access off karo, phir sirf model download aur updates ke liye internet chahiye

4. Apne apps se jodo — MCP connectors

Mac par Mail aur Calendar built-in hain, aur apne connectors se Notion, Linear, Figma, GitHub jaise apps jod sakte ho. Matlab Hob sirf files par nahi, tumhare kaam ke tools ke saath bhi baat kar sakta hai. Ek imaandaar note: connectors tumhare khud jode hue hote hain aur wo apni services ko zaroori jaankari bhejte hain — unki apni privacy policy lagu hoti hai.

5. 32 bhashaen, Hindi bhi

Hob 32 bhashaon me aata hai — Hindi bhi shamil hai — aur tumhare computer ki bhasha me khud shuru hota hai. Tum jis bhasha me likho, jawab usi bhasha me milta hai. Ye Indian students aur freelancers ke liye kaam ki baat hai: Hindi me sawal poocho, Hindi me jawab pao, wo bhi bina data cloud par bheje.

Pricing — free me kitna milega?

Yahan koi “free plan vs paid plan” ka khel nahi hai — poora app hi free hai:

  • Free — poora app: Koi subscription nahi, koi account nahi, koi trial khatam hone ka dar nahi. Saare features, saare models, offline mode — sab free. MIT licence ke tahat code GitHub par khula hai, to koi bhi check kar sakta hai ki app andar kya karta hai.
  • Extra cost kab? Sirf tab jab tum khud koi external service connect karo — us service ki apni fees ho sakti hai. Hob aur uske models ki koi fees nahi.

Imaandaar baat: “Free” yahan marketing nahi, licence hai. Lekin free ka matlab ye nahi ki cost zero hai — cost tumhare hardware ki hai: achha experience ke liye 16 GB+ RAM aur 10-25 GB disk space chahiye.

System requirements — pehle ye check karo

  • Platforms: Apple Silicon Mac, Windows PC, Linux (mobile app ka zikr nahi)
  • RAM: Kam se kam 8 GB; 16 GB roz ke kaam ke liye achha; 32 GB ya zyada par sabse achhe models
  • Disk: Hob aur models ke liye 10-25 GB jagah; sabse bade model ke liye lagbhag 75 GB
  • Internet: Download, model download aur updates ke liye chahiye; roz ka file kaam offline ho sakta hai
  • Windows note: App abhi Microsoft certificate se signed nahi hai, isliye Windows SmartScreen warning par “More info” phir “Run anyway” karna padta hai — official site ye khud batati hai

Kaun use kare, kaun na kare?

  • Privacy-conscious students: Notes, assignments aur research par AI chahiye lekin data cloud par nahi bhejna — free me, Hindi me bhi.
  • Freelancers aur small business owners: Client ke spreadsheets, invoices aur documents par AI chalana ho bina unhe kisi server par bheje — yehi Hob ka sabse mazboot case hai.
  • Developers aur data wale log: Code sandbox, file workflows aur MCP connectors ke saath local agent chahiye to Hob ki soch samajhdaar hai.
  • Kam internet wali jagah par kaam karne wale: Ek baar model download ho gaya to roz ka kaam offline — travel, field work ya slow connection par kaam aata hai.
  • Kamzor computer walon ke liye nahi: 8 GB se kam RAM par Hob theek se nahi chalega — pehle apni RAM check karo.
  • Sabse taqatwar model chahne walon ke liye nahi: Mushkil reasoning, lambi research ya latest jaankari ke liye frontier cloud models abhi aage hain.
  • Mobile-first users ke liye nahi: Mobile app ka zikr nahi — ye desktop tool hai.

Comparison: ChatGPT / Claude / Jan aur local apps

  • ChatGPT aur Claude (cloud): Sabse taqatwar models, latest jaankari, mobile apps, badi integrations — lekin tumhara data unke servers par jata hai aur achhe plans ke liye subscription lagta hai. Hob iska ulta hai: data tumhare paas, cost zero, lekin model halka.
  • Jan, LM Studio, Open WebUI jaise local apps: Ye bhi local models chalate hain, lekin creator ke mutabik ye zyadatar sirf chat window hain — files par ChatGPT-jaisa kaam (chart, PDF fill, folder edit) nahi karte, ya hosted model par default chale jate hain. Hob ka daava hai ki wo ye gap bharta hai.
  • NoteWorthy: Notes app jo data device par hi rakhta hai — agar tumhe sirf notes ke liye on-device AI chahiye to wo bhi dekho; Hob poora desktop assistant hai, notes se zyada.
  • PocketWebTools: Free on-device AI tools ka set — chhote-chhote tools ke liye achha; Hob ek poora agent-style assistant hai jo files par multi-step kaam karta hai.

Final verdict

Hob ek imaandaar idea par bana hai — AI tumhare computer par chale, tumhara data tumhare paas rahe, aur iske liye koi subscription na lage. Poora free, MIT open source, koi account nahi, koi telemetry nahi, setup khud hota hai, aur files par asli kaam — ye combo is waqt koi bada tool nahi deta, aur Frigade ka Y Combinator background is idea ko halka nahi rehne deta.

Aadha number se zyada isliye kata: local models frontier se kamzor hain (creator khud maanta hai), 8 GB RAM aur 10-25 GB disk ki shart hai, ye sirf 3 din purana launch hai (26 October 2026), Windows par SmartScreen warning aati hai, aur mobile app nahi hai. Ek shuruati independent test me ye bhi dikha ki spreadsheet ke sawaal ka sahi jawab tabhi mila jab Hob ne code likhkar run kiya — matlab jawab ko khud verify karna abhi bhi zaroori hai.

Humari rating: 4.2/5. Agar tumhare paas 16 GB ya zyada RAM wala computer hai aur tum privacy ke liye thoda model power kurbaan kar sakte ho — hob.chat se aaj hi free me download karo, ek folder par try karo, aur ek PDF ya spreadsheet ka kaam karke dekho. Uske baad hi decide karo ki ye tumhare roz ke workflow me rehne layak hai ya nahi. Kamzor computer walon ke liye pehle RAM upgrade ya cloud tools hi theek rahenge.

Note: Ye first-look review official site (hob.chat), uske GitHub repo (FrigadeHQ/hob), Product Hunt launch page (26 October 2026) aur launch coverage par based hai. Hum ise khud apne computer par test karke hands-on update jald jodenge.
