What is the best private AI chat that doesn't need an account?

NOLO is a private AI chat that needs no account and no email: the first visit generates an anonymous device ID and that's your login. It runs in the browser and as an Android app, supports real-time web search, image generation, document analysis and up to 1,000,000 tokens of context on the Pro plan. It does not use frontier models, so it competes on privacy, honest pricing and long context rather than raw intelligence.

Is there a ChatGPT alternative that doesn't train on my data?

Yes. NOLO does not train on conversations. Chat history is stored only on the user's own device, and the model providers operate under zero-data-retention terms, so a message is answered and then discarded server-side. Optional tools like web search receive only a minimal keyword, never the full conversation.

Does NOLO save my conversations?

Yes, but only on YOUR device, in the browser's storage. To be clear, that on-device copy is not encrypted at rest, so anyone with access to your unlocked device could read it; clear your browser and it's gone. We don't keep a server of your chats.

How large can documents be?

Free/Plus: up to 128,000 tokens of context (~300 pages). Pro: up to 1,000,000 tokens (~2,000 pages).

Open the subscription menu (tap your plan in the sidebar), choose "Manage subscription" and Stripe opens its portal to cancel. Your plan stays active until the end of the paid period. If you subscribed inside the Android app from Google Play, cancel it from your Google Play subscriptions instead.

What does the free plan include?

The free plan gives you the Fast model for everyday chat, image understanding, voice transcription, and document and image uploads, with history stored only on your device. It does not include web search, image generation, live data or thinking mode, which are part of the paid plans. The one-off daily reset is also only available on Plus and Pro.

Capabilities

One chat, the tools around it.

It's not just a text box. It reads documents, sees images, listens, searches the web, uses live data and builds files, all in a calm interface.

PRIVATE

Local-first history

Your conversations are saved in your browser, not on our servers. Less of you leaves your device in the first place.

NO TRACE

Anonymous mode

One tap and the chat isn't saved anywhere, not even in your own browser. Close it and it's genuinely gone.

Saved to historyNo

Synced anywhereNo

Default on startupOptional

Web search

Current sources when facts, laws or prices may have changed. Deep search reads the full pages when a headline isn't enough.

Image generation

Create and edit visuals, download them, share them or come back to them from the gallery.

Image understanding

Screenshots, scans, diagrams and photos. It reads the text and describes what's there, on every plan including free.

Voice

Dictate instead of typing. Transcription runs on Whisper and is available on every plan.

Live data

Markets, crypto and weather when the question needs real numbers instead of a guess.

Thinking mode

A slower mode, for analysis, planning and tasks where careless speed gets expensive.

Files & documents

Upload documents and images for analysis, summaries and structured outputs that stay in context, up to ~2,000 pages on Pro.

PDF

OUT

Exports & artifacts

Ask for a document and get a real file back. Plus charts, QR codes, LaTeX maths and interactive HTML you can run right there in the chat.

Your workspace

A place to keep things, still on your device.

Chat is the easy part. What makes it usable day after day is everything around it: structure, memory and files that are where you left them, without any of it moving to a server.

Spaces

Pick what you're here for and NOLO adjusts to it: Students, Professional, Medical study, Legal drafting, Everyday, Kitchen or Travel. Switch whenever you like.

7 spaces

Projects

Group related chats and give the whole project its own standing instructions, so you stop re-explaining the context every single time.

Memory

NOLO remembers what's worth remembering about you, and you can read, edit or wipe every entry. It's stored on this device only, never on a server.

Fully editable

Library

Every file you attached and every image you generated, collected in one place instead of buried somewhere in a conversation from three weeks ago.

Encrypted backup

History lives on one device, which is the point, and also the risk. Back it up to your own Google Drive, encrypted, or export a file and keep it yourself.

Your Drive, not ours

Personalities

Neutral, Strict, Friendly, Mentor, Creative, or write your own. Add a rule that applies to a single chat when you just need it to behave differently once.

How it works

A visible pipeline, not a black box.

NOLO shows what it's doing: reading, searching, reasoning, generating, exporting. So you can follow along, instead of trusting a black box.

Capture

Ask, upload a document, attach an image, or open a focused tool from the chat.

Context

NOLO separates instructions, learned preferences, files, tools and the current conversation.

Action

Uses the right capability: web search, file reading, images, live data or deep reasoning.

Output

Answers, files and exports come back to the same space with a clear status.

Privacy model

Kept on your device where possible. Spelled out when not.

We don't promise magic. We just send less of your data in the first place, and tell you the truth about the rest.

Privacy by design

History lives in your browser, not in a NOLO database. Some prompts still travel to the AI and tool providers, but only what's needed to answer.

No mandatory emailAnonymous browser ID by default.
Chat archive on the deviceHistory in the browser's local storage.
Tool transparencySearch, files, images and exports visible in the flow.
No ad profilingZero ad cookies or behavioral targeting.

Professional, not infallible

NOLO helps organize, draft and review. It doesn't replace a qualified professional, doesn't create attorney-client privilege on its own, and doesn't guarantee accuracy. Important outputs should be checked against primary sources.

Useful for a first passSummaries, bullet lists, checklists, drafts and comparisons.

Android

The same workspace, outside the browser tab.

NOLO is now on Google Play. Same app, same anonymous ID, same chats kept on your device, just with an icon on your home screen and share-to-NOLO from anywhere on the phone. Subscriptions bought inside the Android app are handled by Google Play, so you cancel them from your Play account like any other.

Prefer not to use Play? The direct APK still exists, and the web app is always there.

Yes, but only on YOUR device (the browser's localStorage). If you clear the browser, they're gone. We have no server holding "your chats", to us they don't exist.

Because we don't want to know it. The first time, we generate an anonymous ID (e.g. nolo_a7b3_x9k2): that ID is your account. No email = no spam and no tracking.

No. Your message reaches the model provider, gets answered and is discarded. The providers we use operate under zero-data-retention terms and are SOC 2 Type II audited.

Yes, on every plan. Upload screenshots, scanned documents, diagrams or photos: NOLO extracts the text and describes the image.

Yes, NOLO is on Google Play. It's the same app with the same anonymous ID and the same on-device history, plus a home-screen icon and share-to-NOLO from other apps. A direct APK is still available if you'd rather not go through Play, and the web app works in any mobile browser. Note that subscriptions bought inside the Android app are billed and cancelled through Google Play rather than Stripe.
