Lookinglass is built for people who are tired of subscriptions and black-box AI experiences. Ever notice your AI getting forgetful, ignoring context, or giving inconsistent answers? That’s often because traditional apps quietly downgrade models or cut off your conversation history to save costs — without telling you. With Lookinglass, you’re always in control of which model you’re using, what it knows, and how much you spend.

We don't store your chats or your permanent memory — everything stays on your device or in your personal iCloud if you enable sync. You decide how much context to include, whether the AI should remember anything at all, and how much it can say in response. Every setting is customizable, and every message shows the maximum possible cost before you send. No guessing, no surprises, and no model switches behind the scenes.

Lookinglass runs on transparent pay-as-you-go pricing. You can switch between 21 OpenAI models anytime — even mid-conversation — and customize your experience with just a few taps. Whether you're experimenting with gpt-4, exploring the O-series, or just want an AI that respects your time and data, Lookinglass helps you see further and think deeper with your ideas brought into focus.
