Maple AI
OpenSecretEnd-to-end encrypted AI chat assistant. Conversations are encrypted on the device and processed inside hardware-isolated Trusted Execution Environments, so the operator cannot read them; remote attestation lets users check the running build against published source. It serves open-weights models and ships as apps for major platforms, built on the OpenSecret confidential-computing platform.
Scored on the open-source code and architecture; the hosted service has a free plan and paid tiers.
Openness
5 medium confidence- license

Maple AI's two components are each open under an OSI license: the client under MIT, and the OpenSecret confidential-computing backend under AGPL-3.0, serving open-weight models. The paid tier buys only hosted use of managed enclaves; a self-hosted backend runs without billing or feature-flag services, and neither repository has an enterprise directory or license key gating the source.

the configuration surface lists VITE_OS_FLAGS_BASE_URL as "an optional feature-flags API" and VITE_MAPLE_BILLING_API_URL as "an optional billing API", and states "Flags and billing are independent clients"; the quick start runs the client against a local OpenSecret backend at 127.0.0.1:3000 with no paid component

the backend is "the open-source Rust backend for confidential AI applications such as Maple" and builds from the Nix flake; "Billing and feature flags are optional external HTTP APIs whose administrative credentials remain in the backend; their server implementations are not part of this repository setup"
Adoption
3 low confidenceLaunched Jan 2025; vendor reports "5x user growth in the last six months", >90% month-over-month paid retention, and "billions of tokens" in year one, but no absolute user count is published. Self-reported figures only, hence low confidence.

Capability
4 medium confidenceMaple runs several open-weight models with image analysis, voice, document upload and live web search in end-to-end encrypted chat, and adds Team plans and a drop-in API through Maple Proxy. It remains a focused private-chat product without a documented agentic tool-use ecosystem beyond web search.

the page lists the models "gpt-oss-120b", "kimi-k2.5", "deepseek-r1-0528", "llama-3.3-70b", "qwen3-vl-30b" and "leon-se/gemma-3-27b-it-fp8-dynamic", says "Image processing requires more processing power. Starter+ plans help us cover these costs" for image models, links "Introducing Maple Proxy: OpenAI-Compatible API Access to Private LLMs", says the models run "in confidential computing environments with end-to-end encryption", and carries a banner "This guide is outdated. Do not use info until it has been updated for the latest models"

the first-year recap says "In our first year, we shipped voice, document upload, live web search, cutting-edge reasoning models, and apps for major platforms" alongside "Team plans for organizations, and the Maple Proxy API", and "The right to verify means cryptographic attestation"
