Personal AI for Mac

An assistant
that picks up
where you
left off.

Less re-explaining. More moving forward.

We’re building Familiar to bring your conversations, files, and decisions into the next task—then help prepare the work and carry out the steps you allow.

In development. Mac first. iPhone companion planned.

“Help me prepare for tomorrow’s project meeting.”

Your context. Your work. A little less starting over.

01 / A thread worth keeping

The next conversation
shouldn’t start from zero.

You’ve already done the thinking. The useful parts should come with you.

Familiar is being designed to carry relevant context between tasks and keep useful work in a Library you can return to, review, and build on.

02 / Help, with boundaries

A helpful assistant.
You keep the say.

The plan is simple: let Familiar help with the work, while keeping a clear difference between reading, preparing, and taking action.

A few things to know
01

Read what you choose

Bring in the sources and context you want to use.

02

Prepare work you can review

A brief, a plan, or a draft you can look over.

03

Act within the permissions you allow

Preparing a message and sending it are separate steps.

03 / A home on your Mac

Built around the place
you do the work.

Familiar is being built as a native Mac app, with an iPhone companion planned for checking in and continuing on the go.

The intended setup keeps your working home on your Mac. AI providers and connected services can still receive the context needed for a task. Background work will depend on your Mac being awake and connected.

Before you get familiar

A few good
questions.

What will Familiar help me do?

We’re starting with everyday project work: bringing context into a conversation, preparing briefs and drafts, organizing useful outputs, and helping with actions you allow. The examples on this page show the direction we’re building toward.

Can I use it today?

Familiar is in development. There’s no public download or confirmed launch date yet. Join the launch-update list to hear when there’s something ready to try.

Is everything processed on my Mac?

No. The intended working home is on your Mac, but selected context can be sent to AI providers and connected services. We’ll publish the app’s specific data handling and permission details before public access.

Will it keep working while my Mac is asleep?

The planned Mac-based setup depends on your Mac being awake, connected, and able to run Familiar. We aren’t promising continuous background work when your Mac is unavailable.

What will it cost?

Pricing hasn’t been announced. Signing up for launch updates is free and doesn’t commit you to buying the app.
