- Who it helps
- Mac users who want to inspect automation before it runs
- Availability
- The homepage lists Apple Silicon and macOS 15 or later, free small models and a paid Pro plan. Older pages list conflicting prices and requirements; checkout was not tested.
Local operation has boundaries
Local models are the default. Optional web search and cloud APIs send data outside the computer. Downloads, updates and license checks also use the network.
Documents and memory
The app describes source-linked memory and text-based PDF support. Scanned PDFs are unsupported. Model memory requirements vary, and larger models can be slow.
