Every mail account in one calm inbox, sorted, searched by meaning and summarised on the Mac.
08 // Private, local AI
Privacy & on-device AI
Models run on your Mac's GPU with MLX, offline once downloaded. No analytics in any app, and nothing leaves the Mac unless you send it.
One family //
Better together
The apps know about each other. Install a second one and it reuses what the first already has.
Models download once
Apps that use the same model share one copy, and none deletes a model another app still needs.
- Rolling out
Keys and settings carry over
Reuse a service key from another ActNow app after one confirmation; language, proxy and model folder can follow the family.
- Rolling out
Shortcuts that don't clash
Each app has its own default keys and says so when another ActNow app already uses one.
Open source, or paid once
AudioSmith, Auralink and Voxt are free and open source. The others are a one-time purchase, no subscription.

FAQ
Choosing an app
Auralink: Uses the speech and language services you choose, with your own keys. It stays small and uses the biggest models there are. Voxt: Runs every model on your Mac: it works offline, needs no key, and nothing leaves the Mac. AudioSmith: Dictation in any app with ⌘⇧Space, as one part of a voice studio on your Mac.
