Local AI Apps and Tools for Mac

BrowserOS neo is a secondary Chromium browser for AI agents handling web tasks that require signed-in accounts. Agents work in their own tabs while you continue browsing, with a live view of their actions.

T3 Code is a locally hosted interface for developers who want to control coding agents on their computer, including from another device. Its server and web app run on your machine, but model processing depends on the connected provider. With the standard Claude Code cloud connection, prompts and model responses travel over the network to its model service.

agentmemory gives AI coding agents persistent, searchable context from earlier work. It's for developers who want project decisions, past errors and useful lessons to remain available across sessions and different agents.

Cog packages machine learning models for researchers and developers serving them on their own infrastructure. It handles the container environment and inference API around a Python model.

VoiceStudio is a local AI voice studio for creators who need speech generation and audio production without uploading their recordings. It combines voice creation, video dubbing and longer spoken projects in one application.

Codebase Memory MCP maps a repository's structure so AI coding agents can explore dependencies without repeatedly reading whole files. It's for developers using Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor or other MCP-compatible clients.

llmfit helps people choosing models for their own computers compare what will fit in memory and how fast it might run. It checks your hardware before recommending models, so you can assess candidates before downloading them.

Orca is a desktop workspace for developers managing several AI coding agents on the same project. It keeps each task in a separate Git worktree so agents can edit independently while you compare their results.

Dayflow is an automatic time tracker and work journal for developers, freelancers, and other people who work on a Mac. It uses screen activity to reconstruct what you worked on without manual timers or tags.

agent-desktop lets developers give AI agents control of macOS apps such as Finder, Safari and Xcode. It identifies controls through the app's accessibility tree, so agents can act on buttons and text fields by their UI structure.

MLX is a machine learning array framework for researchers and developers building and testing models on their own hardware. It supports model training and inference, with APIs for numerical work and neural networks.

Goose is a general-purpose AI agent for people who want help with coding, research, writing, automation or data analysis. It runs on your computer and lets you choose the model provider behind the agent.

agent-browser lets AI agents interact with websites through compact text snapshots and references to specific page elements. It's for developers connecting coding assistants or other agents to a browser without sending them the full page HTML.

Kai 9000 is a personal AI assistant for people who want remembered context and tools that can act on their requests. Its responses can include interactive screens such as quizzes, recipe cards and dashboards.

Cline is an AI coding agent for developers who want help understanding a codebase, making changes and running project tasks. It works in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs and the terminal, with a standalone desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux.

HyperFrames turns web layouts and animations into videos for developers and teams building automated video workflows. It uses plain HTML and CSS, so you can create compositions yourself or work with an AI coding assistant without adopting React.

OpenChatCut is an AI video editor for creators who want to direct edits through conversation and refine them manually. Agent changes become editable clips, captions, effects and audio tracks, so you can inspect or undo them in the same project.

Herdr manages persistent terminals for developers running coding agents across projects and machines. Closing its client or losing an SSH connection leaves work running on the host, so you can reconnect later.

FreeLLMAPI gives developers one API for experimenting with cloud models and local backends. The router runs locally, but cloud inference still sends requests to the providers you enable.

Wisper is a voice dictation app for people who want to speak into their desktop apps while keeping speech processing on their own computer. It remembers the window where dictation began and inserts the transcript there, even if you switch windows while talking. It can't return to a specific browser tab within that window.

MoneyPrinterTurbo is a self-hosted AI video generator for creators producing shorts from topics or keywords. It automates the production workflow while letting you supply your own content at each stage.

OpenDataLoader PDF is a PDF parser for developers building document search and retrieval-augmented generation systems. It preserves document structure and source locations so applications can retrieve passages and point readers back to the original page.

DeepTutor is a self-hosted AI tutor for learners who want to study their own materials through a browser or CLI. It supports Docker deployment and uses configured model providers for its AI capabilities. Hosting the app locally is separate from model inference; requests to a remote provider leave the host.

Free Claude Code lets developers use coding agents with local models or a choice of cloud providers. It connects existing clients to a shared model catalog rather than requiring a separate coding workflow.

llama.vscode is a coding assistant for developers who want AI suggestions, chat, and an agent inside VS Code. It lets you use models on your own hardware or connect to external providers.

Claude Mem gives coding assistants persistent project memory, so developers can carry earlier decisions and failed approaches into later sessions without explaining them again.

PPT Master turns documents or topics into PowerPoint presentations for people who expect to edit the generated slides. It creates native PowerPoint objects that you can revise individually.

OpenWork is a desktop workspace for knowledge workers who want AI agents to work on their files and connected services. Built on OpenCode, it's a point-and-click alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex.

AI Job Search is a job application framework for people who want to assess roles and prepare tailored documents from their own career profile. It runs through Claude Code on your machine, but AI work uses Anthropic's service and requires paid Claude access or API credits, so it isn't fully offline.

River is a Python library for models that learn from incoming data one observation at a time. It's for developers and data scientists working with event streams, changing data patterns, or applications that need to update models without revisiting past training data. It runs in your own Python environment on Linux, macOS and Windows, and is open source under the BSD-3-Clause license.

Hermes Agent is a self-hosted AI agent from Nous Research for people who want an assistant that remembers past work and handles recurring tasks. It runs on macOS, Linux and native Windows, or on a server you control. Model connections include Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI and your own endpoint; choosing a hosted provider sends model requests to that service.

OmniRoute is an AI gateway for developers who want their coding assistants and other AI clients to share one set of provider connections. It routes requests across models and accounts when a service fails, reaches a rate limit or runs out of quota.

Upscayl is an AI image upscaler for people working with small photos, illustrations or other low-resolution images. Its desktop app processes images locally, with a separate cloud offering for work across devices.

Cua supplies desktops and automation tools for developers building AI agents that operate native apps and browsers. You bring your own agent and model; Cua provides the computer environment and ways to interact with it.
