← Chez Maurice

Hosted in Europe. And yours to take away.

On a Maurice we host, everything lives in Paris, at Scaleway: the program, your data, and the AI that answers you. Nothing goes to an AI company, and you can leave, or run Maurice yourself, whenever you like.

A container of your own, in Paris.

Every Maurice stands alone: its own program, its own database, its own files, its own address. Several Maurices share a machine, each in a container of its own, and none can see into another.

The machines are rented from Scaleway, a French company, in its Paris data centres. Backups are encrypted before they leave your Maurice, and kept on Scaleway’s storage in France for up to twelve months.

A few features you turn on yourself call on other services; the privacy policy names each of them.

We don’t read it. Nobody trains on it.

We don’t read your conversations, your notes or your mail. The people who run the service can technically reach the servers; they use that only to keep them running and secure, when you ask them to, or when the law requires it.

To answer you, Scaleway’s models process each message, then keep nothing to train on.

Leave when you like, with everything.

  1. 1

    Export it.

    In the app, Settings → My data gives you everything your Maurice holds about you, in one archive.

  2. 2

    Erase it.

    From the same place, erase it or delete your account. The erasure reaches everything your Maurice kept.

Or at home, on a machine of your own.

Maurice also runs on a server you keep yourself: a Mac at home, or a machine you rent. You choose its AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Scaleway) or local models with Ollama, free and unmetered, and nothing leaves your house. The apps work the same.

Just between us.

The first month is on the house, no credit card needed. Pricing →
