Everything Agent Mac Does
18 built-in tools, 6 AI providers, and the systems that hold it together. No marketing gloss — this is the spec.
18 Built-in Tools
Every tool can be enabled or disabled individually. Autonomy levels decide what each one may do without asking.
agent
Spawns sub-agents that work on parts of a task in parallel.
background_task
Runs long jobs in the background without blocking the conversation.
browser
Drives a real Chromium browser — clicks, scrolls, fills forms, navigates.
browser_service
Self-healing browser daemon; pairs with Agent Browser’s MCP server.
calendar
Apple Calendar via iCloud — events reach your iPhone and Watch.
claude_code
Delegates heavy coding and file work to a headless Claude Code session — billed to your flat-rate Claude subscription, not API tokens.
computer_use
Full screen control. Off by default.
file_read
Reads any file you can.
file_search
Finds files by name across your Mac.
file_write
Creates and edits files on disk.
grep
Fast content search across files and folders.
memory
Typed memory store — editable markdown files on your disk.
notes
Reads and writes Apple Notes.
pause_task
Pauses and resumes long-running work.
scheduled_task
Full cron syntax with active-hours windows.
shell
Runs zsh commands with real output.
web_fetch
Fetches and reads web pages.
web_search
Searches the web for current information.
MCP Client
Connect any MCP server and its tools appear alongside the built-ins. Agent Browser's 42-tool server auto-registers the moment both apps are running. Claude Code and Claude Cowork can also hand tasks to Agent Mac over a one-click MCP bridge — with the same autonomy caps and approval gates as a phone.
Eco Mode
Per-role provider and model routing to cut API spend: cheap models for cheap roles, with a preference for the Claude Code handoff when work can run on your flat-rate subscription instead of API tokens. Includes a screenshot-describe economy option.
Memory
A typed memory store with background consolidation — the agent files away what it learns while idle. Memory is markdown on your disk: open it, edit it, delete it. Conversations live in local SQLite. Nothing is stored on our servers, because there are no servers.
Instruction Systems
Skills
Package domain knowledge the agent loads when a task calls for it.
Playbooks
HEARTBEAT.md defines what background check-ins should look at.
AGENT.md cascading
Per-folder instructions that cascade down your directory tree.
Hooks
Run your own commands at points in the agent lifecycle.
Context compaction
Long sessions compress automatically instead of failing.
Session resume
Pick up any previous session where it left off.
Activity Window
Every run is logged: plan → tools → results → reflection, with duration and token count. Each run has a plain-English “Why?” so you always know what the agent did and what it cost.
Voice
⌥Space opens the palette anywhere. Mic input with waveform, a full voice-conversation engine including realtime, and the Aurora voice HUD. Voice also works from your iPhone — see Remote.
Self-Healing Storage
If the database ever fails to open, a recovery database catches the session, and a conservative, atomic importer merges it back later — additive-only, never destructive. Your history survives bad days.
Platform
Native Swift 6
A real menu bar app — not a wrapped web page.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Intel and Apple Silicon.
Notarized & signed
Notarized by Apple, hardened runtime, Developer ID.
6 AI providers
Claude Opus & Sonnet, the GPT-5 family, Gemini, Kimi, any Ollama model, and Apple's on-device model. Models are fetched dynamically — no stale lists.
5-day trial
No account, no card.
Lifetime license £29.99
One payment. No subscription.
iCloud — Three Honest Roles
Communicate
Remote transport to your iPhone runs through your own iCloud, sealed end-to-end. We never see it.
Sync
Calendar events, reminders, and notes created by the agent reach your iPhone and Watch.
Continuity
Pairing survives a reinstall via Keychain.
Downloads are temporarily paused.
