Welcome to Phizzog
We're excited to introduce Phizzog, a team of researchers and engineers building AI experiences to elevate human performance — in athletics, at work, in life. Phizzog is a father-son venture: building AI things together to learn, share, and grow, in an industry that's new to everyone.
What We Believe
Technology should make humans better, not replace them. The future of knowledge work isn't about handing over control to AI systems — it's about creating tools that amplify human capabilities, keeping humans firmly in the loop while expanding what they can accomplish.
We believe in:
- Human-in-the-loop workflows where AI acts as assistant, never autopilot
- Radical privacy with local-first architecture
- Progressive context where every interaction compounds into deeper understanding
- Flow state design that minimizes friction between thought and action
Introducing Vault
Our first project, Vault, embodies this philosophy. It's a local-first notes app that brings together everything you've saved, highlighted, or written — private, fast, AI-ready.
What Makes Vault Different
- Radically Private: All your data stays on your machine. No cloud uploads, no telemetry, no compromise.
- Progressive Context: The system builds deeper understanding over time, learning from every interaction without ever forgetting.
- Built for Deep Work: Designed to support flow state and eliminate the friction between thought and action.
- Multi-Model Support: Bring your own LLM API keys and switch between models (Claude, GPT-5, local models) based on your needs.
Open Source & Free Forever
Vault is completely open source and free to use. We believe tools for thought should be accessible to everyone, and that transparency builds trust when you're working with sensitive intellectual property.
Who Vault Is For
Vault is designed for knowledge workers who:
- Accumulate vast amounts of notes, highlights, and research
- Want AI to enhance their thinking, not think for them
- Value privacy and control over their data
- Seek tools that support flow state and deep work
If you're a researcher, writer, strategist, or creative professional drowning in information but hungry for insights, Vault was built for you.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. We're building in public, iterating based on real-world use, and sharing what we learn along the way.
