Ente, known for their encrypted photo storage, launched Ensu — a ChatGPT-like app running entirely on-device with zero cloud dependency. The app supports end-to-end encrypted cross-device chat sync via Ente accounts or self-hosting. With 285 points and 130 comments on Hacker News, the launch resonated with privacy-conscious developers who want LLM capabilities without sending data to external servers.
