Powerful tech should be free — and yours.

DarkCipher Systems builds free, open-source tools that run on your own hardware — including local AI — so gamers, creators, parents navigating family court and anyone facing a legal fight can use serious technology without paying for it or handing their data to the cloud. Built by DarkCipher0x.


Why I build this

Technology should empower people, not lock them in.

The tools that matter most are often expensive, cloud-only, or built to harvest your data. Yet the PC you already own can run local AI models, transcribe hours of audio, and organise thousands of documents. I build free, open-source software that puts that power back in your hands.

Gamers & streamers

Live captions for your stream, transcripts and clips, all on your own hardware. Ideal on a dual-PC setup: run it on your streaming PC so your gaming GPU stays free for frames. No subscriptions.

Creators

Subtitles, transcripts, speaker labels and exports for videos, podcasts and interviews. Professional tools without the professional price tag.

Parents in family court

I've lived it. Organising papers, timelines, recordings and court bundles shouldn't take a law firm's budget, and your most private records shouldn't sit on someone else's server.

Anyone facing a legal case

Whatever the case, being organised is half the battle. Keep evidence, notes and transcripts in order, privately, on your own machine.

> Local AI, your hardware

Speech recognition, speaker identification and optional local AI language-model summaries (via Ollama) run on your own CPU and GPU. Nothing is sent to an AI company.

> Free, open and auditable

No paywalls and no trials. The full source is published so anyone can check exactly what the software does.

> Private by default

No accounts, telemetry or cloud uploads. Sensitive recordings and court papers stay on your PC, where they belong.

These are organising tools, not legal advice. For your case, speak to a solicitor, barrister or advice service.

The software

Free tools, no strings attached.

Every app runs entirely on your PC. Your files, recordings and documents never leave it.
