About
Ask the AI model built into your Apple Silicon Mac from the terminal. Send a prompt, pipe text into it, attach files, or open an interactive chat. It can also run a local server that speaks the OpenAI API format, so apps built for OpenAI SDKs can point to your Mac.
Everything runs on the device through Apple Intelligence, with no API keys and no cloud. It needs macOS 26 or later and Apple Intelligence turned on. Context window size depends on your Mac.
Highlights
- Pipe-friendly prompts with file attachments
- Local OpenAI-compatible server
- Runs on-device, no API keys
Who it's for
Good for Mac users who want to script with a local AI model and keep their text off the cloud.
