IntelliBar
A macOS AI assistant connects to Ollama and cloud model APIs, compares answers side by side and stores chat history on your device.

IntelliBar is an AI assistant for Mac for writing, proofreading and asking questions across local and cloud models. It brings those models into one app so you can compare their answers without moving between separate chat services.
- Model choice: Use local models through Ollama or connect to cloud models including GPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek through provider APIs.
- Response comparison: Send the same prompt to multiple models and view their answers side by side.
- Reusable prompts: Save common instructions as slash commands, and use prompt autocompletion to reduce repeated typing.
- Voice interaction: Ask questions by voice or have the app read responses aloud.
- Chat access: Search conversation history and use a keyboard command menu to reach actions such as editing the last prompt or finding text in a chat.
Chat history stays on your Mac. With an Ollama model running locally, prompts aren't sent to an AI provider. When you select a remote model, IntelliBar sends prompts directly to that provider without an intermediary; the provider's data policies apply to those requests.
IntelliBar is a paid app. Remote model use is billed separately by the providers you connect to.
