Today's forecast: cloudless

We think privacy is serious business. Why give mega-corps access to our most burning questions, our innermost thoughts, and our wacky app ideas? CrankGPT runs entirely on device so your data stay yours.

Take the power back

Remember the days when we worried about the climate effects of crypto? Ha! How quaint. Tech companies have quietly abandoned their climate pledges to build gas-burning power plants that feed your favorite AI. Stop burning oil and start burning calories by producing your own tokens with CrankGPT!

Should we buy tech CEOs another supercar?

Don't ask ChatGPT, the answer is no. They have too much money and influence already. Unfortunately, they've gotten you so hooked on tokens that you'll unthinkingly pay more for them than they cost to generate. Go off grid with CrankGPT—save money AND keep it out of tech CEOs' pockets!

Looksmaxxing or tokenmaxxing… why not both?

You're busy crushing it, we get it, but sometimes taking care of business gets in the way of taking care of yourself. Produce your own tokens with CrankGPT. The harder you're working, the harder you're working out.

No cloud/Claude required

Get cranking. #

No Wi-Fi? Claude outage? Rolling blackouts? The end of civilization as we know it? With CrankGPT, you'll never be without the intelligence you need. We're no preppers, but with CrankGPT, we're prepared.
