01

One app, every kind of work.

Chat, browse, check a running build, and pick up the same work on iPhone or iPad.

02

Every task. One workspace.

Start with a chat, choose a model, open a project, hand work to a bot, or continue from your phone.

01

Think it through.

Write, research with sources, and keep imported chat history in one library.

02

Your model. Your choice.

Run MLX or GGUF locally, bring your own key, or sign in through Codex.

03

Build real software.

Open a workspace, review plans, verify changes, and connect MCP or OpenCode skills.

04

Four specialists.

Researcher, Builder, Reviewer, and Navigator, each with a private browser profile.

05

Work away from the desk.

Pair iPhone, iPad, or a trusted browser. The Mac stays in charge.

01

Bring your history.

Import Claude, Codex, and Cursor chats. Search, pin, and export from one library.

02

Connect ChatGPT.

Account models appear beside local and API models when a local Codex setup is available.

03

From a build to a device.

Archive, export an IPA, or install on a connected device with signing tools you configure.

04

Share the local model.

Serve the loaded model to OpenAI-compatible clients on loopback.

Local inference runs on your Mac. Choosing a remote provider, web search, or a connected service sends the relevant requests to that service; availability and costs depend on your provider.

Bots keep private browser profiles. Follow, queue, or steer a run from the Bot Console.

03Security

Power with a visible boundary.

The Mac owns execution. Remote clients can request work, but workspace confinement, Keychain storage, approvals, and revocation remain local.

Owner-controlled

A remote screen is not remote permission.

Sensitive tools, clipboard, files, Mac control, and workspace mutations stay behind the Mac app’s explicit policy and permission checks.

Private pairingUse a trusted LAN or Tailscale network and revoke saved devices at any time.
Keychain secretsProvider keys, session encryption keys, and remote tokens stay in platform storage.
Workspace confinementCode tools operate only inside the project the user selected.
Approval-gated actionsWrites and commands ask by default. Approval cards show the action; configured permission rules control what can run automatically.
