Bespoke asset & compliance register with an offline AI assistant
KEEL was designed and built for a single client whose equipment register had to work at sea: no reliable internet, no server, no IT department on site. It keeps every item, its identity, location, condition, certificates and revision history in one shared register running from a shared folder. Finn, the built-in assistant, runs a local language model on an ordinary PC, answers from the register and the product guide, cites the record or page behind every fact and can be taught the crew’s own names for things. Imports never overwrite. Backups are encrypted and restores never replace live data. Updates are signed and install themselves. One client, one licence — and the same standard we apply to any custom build.
- Finn: a local AI assistant that works offline, cites the record or page behind every answer and never invents a fact
- Teachable memory — confirmed notes and search aliases in your team’s vocabulary
- Search by any part of any value: markings, serials, certificate numbers, capacity, location, synonyms
- Certificates and photos linked to items, expiry warnings, suggested links from recovered files
- CSV, JSON and Excel import with column preview; existing records are never overwritten
- Duplicate check with field-by-field evidence — nothing deleted automatically
- Encrypted cloud mirror with verified restore that keeps the current database intact
- Shared-folder deployment: any PC becomes the host, host transfer after a failure, signed automatic updates
- Light and dark themes, scalable text, English and Dutch — tailored to the client’s crew
- Rust
- Tauri
- React
- TypeScript

- 01Scope first.Started as an architecture document and an acceptance test plan, not a prototype.
- 02Product-grade, even for one user.Signed updates, encrypted mirror, health monitor, bilingual guide — nothing was skipped because the audience is small.
- 03Honest by design.The software separates a recorded fact from a suggestion and from an OCR reading. It never invents a certificate.
