A brand-new menu-bar app in early alpha. Runs curated AI workloads on your Apple Silicon Mac when it's on power and your settings allow it. Balanced mode backs off when your Mac is busy or warm.
Requires Apple Silicon — an M1 Mac or later. Intel Macs can't run these workloads: they have no Neural Engine, so the network has nothing to send them.

First launch
This build is Developer-ID signed, notarized by Apple, and stapled — so it opens normally, with no Gatekeeper warning and no right-click workaround. Drag it to /Applications and open it. Future updates install silently in the background via Sparkle, and every one is EdDSA-signature-checked before it is allowed to replace the app.Walkthrough · 90 sec
