Australian made apps that work. Anywhere.
We build offline-first tools and platforms for businesses that care about speed, security, and privacy.
Deployed on your devices, your infrastructure, and your terms.
Cloud Optional,
Not Cloud Dependent.
Wi-Fi drops. Networks fail. But your business shouldn't stop.
Local-first apps run directly on your device, so they keep working even in remote areas or basements with no reception. When you're back online, everything syncs automatically...
...if you want it to, of course.
Rethink AI.
Rethink security.
While big tech pushes cloud-first solutions,
your business may not be able to afford the risk of exposing classified or highly confidential data.
Our inbuilt Local AI functionality brings cutting-edge intelligence to your workflow — all while ensuring your most valuable information never leaves your secure environment.

Local-first software, built for control.
Berrysbay develops focused, on-premise tools for organisations handling sensitive information or operating in constrained environments. Each product runs locally — reducing external exposure and preserving governance boundaries.
InBay
A local-first and air-gap compatible sensitive data discovery and redaction tool.
Scan, highlight, and clean PII directly on your device — without uploading documents to third-party AI services.
Designed for organisations that need visibility before sharing, analysing, or automating sensitive files.
LocalBay Document Platform
An on-device document and workflow platform designed for sensitive environments.
Includes embedded local AI for summarising, auditing, and analysing files without transmitting data externally.
Supports compliance-oriented workflows with controlled exports and audit-ready processes.
KnowledgeBay
An air-gapped internal knowledge assistant built for restricted environments.
Index policies, procedures, and internal documents, then query them using embedded local AI — without external data transfer.
Designed for organisations that cannot use cloud-based AI tools but still need fast, reliable knowledge retrieval.
Need a custom local-first tool?
For organisations with sensitive data or constrained environments, we design and build focused, on-premise tools that run locally — including AI-powered workflows — without relying on external cloud services.
Custom apps that stay within your control
We build small, high-trust tools for real workflows — things your team can run locally on a workstation or internal infrastructure. Typical projects include sensitive document handling, internal assistants, offline workflows, and automation where data cannot leave your environment.
This is not general-purpose development. We only take on work where local execution is essential (sensitivity, governance, remote/offline, or air-gapped requirements).
Why Berrysbay?
We combine local-first software with structured workshops to help organisations use AI responsibly — without losing control of their data.
Local-first by design
Our tools run within your environment. Sensitive data does not need to leave your organisation unless you explicitly decide it should.
AI with governance in mind
We design AI workflows that respect data boundaries and organisational responsibility.
Built for sensitive environments
Designed for teams handling confidential, regulated, or high-trust information where external exposure is not acceptable.
Structured AI risk workshops
We run tailored workshops that map how AI tools interact with your data, identify exposure points, and define practical governance boundaries.
Practical enablement
Beyond advice, we equip teams with local tools and clear implementation paths.
Direct expertise
You work directly with the engineer building the tools. Clear scope, clear responsibility, and no layers of outsourcing.
Frequently asked questions
Most AI tools today are cloud-based, meaning your documents, prompts, and data are processed outside your organisation.
Berrysbay exists to help organisations keep control of their data in an AI-driven world. Our tools run locally, on your own device or infrastructure. If your organisation handles sensitive information, operates in regulated environments, or simply prefers reducing external exposure, local-first design provides a different level of certainty.
We’re not replacing everything you use — we’re providing a safer way to work with sensitive data where it matters.
You may not — and that’s completely fine.
We work with organisations that do care. Usually because they:
• Handle sensitive or confidential data
• Operate in regulated or compliance-heavy industries
• Cannot afford accidental data exposure
• Prefer reducing dependency on external platforms
If uploading internal files to AI tools doesn’t concern your organisation, we may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.
We focus on teams who value control and clarity.
Most popular AI tools run in the cloud, meaning your data is sent to external servers for processing.
Local AI runs directly on your device or internal infrastructure. The models are installed within your environment and process data locally.
This reduces:
• External data exposure
• Third-party data handling
• Dependency on continuous internet access
It also makes AI usable in remote, air-gapped, or operationally constrained environments.
No one can guarantee absolute security.
What we do is reduce exposure by design.
Our tools operate locally, meaning sensitive information does not need to be transmitted to external AI providers. We also run structured workshops to help organisations understand their data flows, risk boundaries, and governance responsibilities.
Security is a discipline, not a promise — and we approach it practically.
Not at all.
In many cases, we work alongside your current systems. Our role is to:
• Identify sensitive data exposure
• Improve governance around AI usage
• Provide focused local tools for specific workflows
We solve targeted problems without forcing unnecessary rebuilds.
Our workshops are structured, organisation-specific sessions tailored to your environment.
We cover:
• How AI tools interact with your data
• Where exposure can occur in your workflows
• What local-first execution means in practice
• Practical governance approaches suited to your organisation
These are not generic AI training sessions. They are designed around your actual systems, risks, and operational realities.
Yes — when local execution is essential.
We design and build focused, on-premise tools for organisations that require AI-powered workflows to run locally due to data sensitivity, governance requirements, or operational constraints.
We do not operate as a general-purpose development agency.
Berrysbay is based in North Sydney, overlooking beautiful Berrys Bay — which is where the name comes from.
We work with organisations across Australia. Whether your teams operate in office environments, remote regions, or areas with limited connectivity, our local-first approach ensures workflows remain efficient and uninterrupted — without relying on constant internet access.
