LlamaportLlamaport is a small Mac app for running and downloading local GGUF language models. It wraps llama-server from the llama.cpp project: it lists the models in your models folder, launches one with the full command shown before you press start, shows what it costs while it runs, and fetches new models from Hugging Face with downloads that can resume after a kill or a reboot. It reads GGUF headers directly, so the list shows the real quantisation, context length and mixture-of-experts structure rather than guesses from the file name.AI
UnfoldlyUnfoldly is a local AI search app for Mac that finds files by what you remember about them, not by their names. You choose the folders and files it should index, and it builds a searchable memory of them on your Mac: text from documents, what is shown in images, moments in videos and the content of audio recordings. Then you describe what you are looking for, such as a photo of your dog or the PDF that mentioned a pricing plan, and ask follow-up questions about the files it finds: summarize a document, ask about a video or compare notes.AI
Claude Usage MonitorClaude Usage Monitor is a free, open-source menu bar app that shows how much of your Claude.ai usage you have left. Its menu bar icon turns from green to orange to red as you approach your limits, and the text next to it shows either your current session percentage or, while you are working, an estimate of the time left at your present pace together with your weekly usage. Click it to open a small dashboard with progress bars for the current session, your weekly limits across all models and, on Max plans, Sonnet-only usage, each with a countdown to its next reset.AI
Off Grid AIOff Grid AI is a local AI app for Apple Silicon Macs. You download open models from its built-in catalog, or any GGUF model from Hugging Face, and use them for text and vision chat, image generation, speech recognition and text to speech. All of this runs on your own hardware through bundled llama.cpp, stable-diffusion.cpp, whisper.cpp and Kokoro, with no cloud inference, account or API key. Anonymous usage data and crash reports are sent only if you turn them on.AI
M-CourtyardM-Courtyard is a desktop app for fine-tuning large language models locally on an Apple Silicon Mac, without writing code. You import your documents, turn them into a training dataset, run a LoRA fine-tune with Apple's MLX through mlx-lm, test the result in a built-in chat and export it. The project says no data leaves your Mac.AI
EnviousWisprEnviousWispr is a dictation app for the Mac menu bar. Press a keyboard shortcut in any app, speak, and your words are transcribed on your Mac and pasted where you were typing. You can choose between two speech models: Parakeet Ultra, the fast default for 25 European languages, and Whisper, which covers more than 99 languages and detects the language automatically. It works offline and needs no account or subscription.AI
Qwen ScribeQwen Scribe is a menu bar app with a local web interface that transcribes audio and video files and adds system-wide dictation on Apple Silicon Macs. It runs the Qwen3-ASR speech model on the Mac's own GPU through MLX. There is no account, no API key and no Qwen Scribe cloud service, so audio and transcripts stay on the Mac.AI
OrkasOrkas is a multi-agent AI desktop app for Mac and Windows. You tell its Commander what you need. It finishes many tasks by itself, and for bigger work it plans the steps and brings in specialist agents, along with coding agents you already use such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. Sixteen specialists ship with the app, covering research, writing, slide decks, images, video, voice, office files, websites and e-commerce work.AI
Agent Teams AIAgent Teams AI is a desktop app for coordinating teams of AI agents, for coding and broader project work. You create a team with one prompt and give its members roles. The agents then work in parallel, message each other, manage their own tasks and review each other's work, while tasks move across a live kanban board. You can send a message to any agent, comment on a task, and approve or reject the code each task changed.AI
MacWhisperMacWhisper turns audio and video files into text on your Mac. Drag in a recording of an interview, a lecture, a podcast or a meeting and MacWhisper writes out what was said, using OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition. The transcription runs on your own Mac, so no audio leaves your computer, which makes it suitable for private recordings. MacWhisper is made by Jordi Bruin and Good Snooze in the Netherlands.AI
