Updated

Before you switch.

How does Maple protect AI inference?
Maple describes device encryption into an AWS Nitro enclave, which verifies a separate model enclave before forwarding a prompt. It publishes code and a verification process. Bearly’s end-to-end encryption covers saved chats and sync; prompts still reach its execution service and the model provider. Maple’s architecture source, checked October 29, 2026, appears in the encryption row.
Which models does Maple Chat list?
Its model library lists GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, Gemma, and Llama as available in Maple Chat. API-only and reference models are listed separately. This is the catalog checked October 29, 2026; see the Maple model library in the feature rows.
Is Bearly open source?
No. Bearly is not open source. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, the web, and Chrome.
