Compare to ChatGPT

Stop pasting context. Active desktop intelligence.

ChatGPT is a powerful general-purpose chatbot in a browser tab, but it has zero awareness of what is happening across your computer. Maple operates natively on your desktop, continuously indexing your meetings, active screens, and documents so you never have to copy-paste context again.

Side-by-side comparison

ChatGPT

  • Trapped in a browser tab; blind to active desktop workflow
  • Requires tedious manual copy-pasting of notes, logs, and files
  • Cloud-hosted with prompts sent to external server farms

Maple

  • Instant desktop overlay (⌥ Space) aware of your screen & calls
  • Zero copy-pasting: queries unified cross-app workspace memory
  • Local-first AES-256 encrypted database stored on your device

Key differences

Context Awareness

ChatGPT

Only knows what you manually type or upload into the chat box. No awareness of active windows or meetings.

Maple

Continuously indexes meeting audio, active window text, browser tabs, and local notes into a local semantic vector graph.

Data Sovereignty & Privacy

ChatGPT

Transfers conversation logs and uploaded files to cloud servers with complex privacy settings.

Maple

100% local-first SQLite WAL storage protected by hardware biometric keys. Your data never leaves your computer.

Interaction Speed

ChatGPT

Must switch tabs, open chat history, write boilerplate context, and wait for network responses.

Maple

Sub-200ms quick HUD overlay triggered via global hotkey directly over your active application.
