Why Viola?

The voice assistant that actually works for you.

No Upsells

Zero ads. Zero sales pitches. Ever.

Ask for the weather, get the weather. Not a sponsored umbrella. Not a "by the way, here's a deal."

Agentic

Say what you need. It does the rest.

Other assistants answer questions. Viola handles tasks. Tell it to check your email, rearrange your afternoon, or find something to cook with what's in the fridge. It figures out the steps, does them, and reports back. Your hands stay free. Your phone stays in your pocket.

Multi-Room

Every room. One voice.

Your whole house plays the same song in perfect sync. Walk into any room and Viola is already there, listening. Give a command from the kitchen, the bedroom, the garage. Open a browser on any device and it becomes a new room in seconds.

Household

One Viola, everyone in the house

Every person gets their own identity, memory, calendar, and connected accounts. The kids can't see your inbox; your partner's Spotify doesn't become yours. Multi-tenant from day one — not bolted on.

Phone

She has her own phone number

Viola answers your calls, places calls on your behalf, and hands you the summary. You pick up only when you want to. See how phone works.

Security

A privacy brand with receipts

MFA, passkeys, session rotation on plan change, encrypted memory, GDPR export and purge, signed Windows installer. We published our internal review in full — gaps and all. Read it.

Privacy

Private by default. Cloud only when you say so.

Wake word, speech recognition, and local memory all run on your machine. Cloud features exist — and they are useful — but every one is an opt-in with its own switch. See exactly what runs where in the Privacy Ledger.

Your Keys / Brain / Audit

Three pillars instead of "trust us"

Your keys: BYOK mode touches zero Viola infrastructure. Your brain: local (Ollama), managed, or BYOK cloud — you pick. Your audit: our Network Flows doc names every hostname Viola contacts. Point Wireshark at your machine and verify.

Your Hardware

Use the hardware you already own

Runs on your computer with any speakers and any microphone. No proprietary devices. No lock-in. Give that old laptop a new purpose.

Independence

Answers to you, not shareholders

One developer in Wisconsin. No corporate agenda. No advertiser relationships. Just building something genuinely useful.

Your Data

Your information stays yours

Preferences, history, and favorites. All stored locally on your machine. Delete anytime. No questions asked.

For Everyone

Built for beginners and experts alike

Download and go in minutes. Or bring your own API keys for complete control and zero cost.

Your Services

Connects to what you already use

Your music. Your calendar. Your accounts. No new subscriptions. No new logins. Switch providers whenever you want, or bring your own API keys for total control.

Offline Mode

Fully offline is a supported mode

Configure a local LLM (Ollama or similar) and disable cloud integrations. Your prompts never leave your machine. You give up some power; you gain complete isolation. Your call.

Made in USA

Built by one developer

One person in Wisconsin, building this because everyone deserves technology that respects them. No investors. No board meetings. Just code.

Pay Your Way

Bitcoin accepted for maximum privacy

Don't want to share credit card info? Pay with Bitcoin. No financial data required.

Sustainable

Good for your wallet. Good for the planet.

Why buy another plastic gadget? Reuse what you have. Less e-waste, less consumerism, less stuff corporations want you to buy. Your old hardware works perfectly fine.
