Local AI
Start with your files when you need to understand an image, work with a document or suggest names for a cluttered folder. FilePilot runs supported AI tasks on your Mac once the required models are ready. Assistant, file search and contextual tools provide entry points into the workflow.

Reach the apps you open often without moving away from the task in front of you. Call App Circle with your shortcut and select the application icon you need. This Glass Fan animation recreates the installed layout with real app icons; the website does not launch applications on your Mac.
Read the guide ↗03Shake Circle
Call Shake Circle while dragging a file, then drop it onto the action you need. The selected tool opens in its own window, where you review format, output location and other settings. This file workflow is separate from App Circle, the application launcher.

When your Mac slows down, look beyond a single percentage. Compare processor load, memory pressure, temperature and power together. Stats connects compact menu bar readings to a detailed performance window.

A saved link may not be enough for research, design references or project documentation. Web archives keep downloadable page resources locally so you can return to the collected content later.
Read the guide ↗06Encrypted vault and secure folders
Storing, opening, exporting and deleting sensitive documents do not share the same security boundary. Use Secure Vault with a clear view of when an item stays encrypted and when it becomes an ordinary copy.
