| Component | Requirement / recommendation |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 or Windows 11 |
| Architecture | 64-bit |
| Internet | Required for cloud AI providers and downloading local models. Previously downloaded Ollama models can run locally without internet access. |
| RAM | The desktop app has modest requirements; local AI memory use depends heavily on model size and context length. |
| GPU / VRAM | Optional for local models, but a compatible GPU can significantly improve performance. |
| Disk | Allow space for the app, projects, backups, and downloaded local models. |
| VS Code | Only required if you use the VS Code integration. |
Local AI noteModel speed and compatibility depend on RAM, VRAM, GPU support, free disk space, and context size. Very large models may not fit on lower-memory systems.
