Free download. Same desktop client whether you run the bundled sidecar on your own machine or connect to your org's central Bolt server. macOS, Linux, Windows.
Bolt Enterprise
Free download · BYO Everything
The full desktop suite. Bring your own identity provider, email, calendar,
and AI backend. By default, it runs on your machine and no
data reaches Sparcle. Your IT can later point Bolt at their central server
(see below) without re-installing.
Includes instant demo mode: preview the full platform with sample data before configuring anything.
Optional sign-in with Google, Microsoft, Okta, or any OIDC
Email, calendar, files, contacts, and task sync
Agentic actions, on-device or via MCP tools, with human-in-the-loop approval.
Priority scoring, smart summaries, One Thing™
Multi-layer security pipeline (PII masking at LLM boundary)
Open MCP integrations and agent-to-agent delegation
Instant demo mode: preview with sample data
Local-first, identity-aware, token optimized
All of the above are also in the paid org tier — centrally deployed, governed, and audited.

For your organization
Deploy centrally for governance.
The paid org tiers are the same product, run inside your VPC or on-prem,
with the controls IT and security need to make AI safe at scale.
Central governance + audit
Sealed Merkle audit chain on every retrieval, masking decision, tool call, and LLM call. Per-tenant
CMK envelopes. Crypto-shred for right-to-erasure. Standalone verifier binary your CISO can run
offline. SIG Lite, threat model, DPA, and MSA drafts ready for security review.
Identity at the edge
SSO via Microsoft Entra, Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Auth0, or any OIDC provider. SCIM 2.0
provisioning for joiner / mover / leaver. IDP-bound ACLs propagated to every query and every
downstream tool call. No service-account fan-out; the user's identity is the authorization
primitive end-to-end.
Central MCP + agent hub
Admin-curated MCP connector catalog. Per-tenant token vault with envelope encryption. Agent
allowlist with capability scoping. Identity-bound MCP calls audited end-to-end. Users get the
integrations IT has approved; nothing else. Workforce-grade onboarding to new connectors
without re-architecting.
LLM control + cost visibility
BYO LLM — Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Anthropic, OpenAI, on-prem Llama, anything
OpenAI-compatible. Zero token markup. Per-org, per-team, per-user token telemetry with
dashboards. Model routing by sensitivity tier. Privacy-tier gating (no-train providers,
on-prem-only models for regulated workloads).
PII + DLP at the LLM boundary
Sensitive values are masked before any LLM call. Internal tools still operate on unmasked
values so productivity does not regress. DLP policy is enforced at the agent boundary, not
after the fact. The masking contract is provable in the audit chain — show the auditor
exactly which fields the model saw.
Self-hosted deployment
Docker compose (single-host, docker-compose.ha.yml) for small deployments. Helm
chart (multi-node, HA, multi-cluster) for production scale. Runs inside your VPC, on-prem
datacenter, or cloud account. Air-gapped at the Federated Aeira tier. Sparcle has no inbound
or outbound access to your deployment.
No. Bolt runs entirely on your machine with no login required to get started. Add an AI API key (or connect Google / Microsoft for full productivity), and start using it.
Is Bolt really free?
Yes, for individuals. Download, install, and use Bolt on your own device with no time limit. The paid tiers on the pricing page are for organizations that need central deployment, governance, audit, SCIM, and IT-managed installs.
What AI keys work?
Any OpenAI-compatible API: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini (has a free tier), Ollama (local), Groq, Together, or your own endpoint.
Does Bolt send my data anywhere?
No. Bolt runs fully on your device. AI requests go directly from your machine to your chosen provider; nothing routes through Sparcle.
How do I launch Bolt?
Press Cmd+Shift+K on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows/Linux. Or configure your own shortcut. Bolt appears as a non-disruptive overlay on top of your focused app.
Can I connect Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Tasks, and Contacts?
Yes. Sign in with Google or Microsoft from the settings, and per-feature connect cards walk you through each scope on demand. Your data stays on this device; sensitive values are masked before any LLM call.
What is demo mode?
Bolt includes a one-click demo that loads sample data (emails, meetings, tasks) so you can explore everything instantly, no credentials needed. It resets when you quit the app.
