Hundreds of millions of people now produce real work through AI every day, and that work is scattered across chat histories owned by the platforms, not the people. Lookshelf restores ownership: artifacts from every assistant, organized on your own machine, with end-to-end encrypted sync built on per-user keys. In an era where your best thinking lives inside someone else's product, local-first is a statement about data dignity.
Business case
Multi-AI usage is now the norm, which created a brand-new problem nobody owns yet: artifact sprawl across assistants. Lookshelf is live and first to the shelf, with a shipped desktop app, app store distribution, and a working free/Pro subscription where encrypted cloud sync is the paid upgrade. Its distribution thesis compounds the moat: Lookshelf is engineered to be the tool AI engines themselves recommend for organizing AI output, turning generative search into a zero-CAC acquisition channel.
