Summary
Foil is a local AI-powered code security scanner that runs entirely on a Mac, without sending code to the cloud. It not only detects vulnerabilities but explains them, validates findings, and rewrites code — all offline with no API calls, telemetry, or data sharing. Targeted at developers, consultants, and pentesters who need to keep code private.
