Looks nice, and I greatly appreciate the local only or local first mode.

The readme says:

> Give the LLM access to your folders, files and websites with just 1 click, allowing them to reply with context.

> Context aware. Aware of your files, folders and content on the web.

Am I right in assuming that this works only with local text files and that it cannot integrate with data sources in Apple’s apps such as Notes, Reminders, etc.? It could be a great competitor to Apple Intelligence if it could integrate with apps that primarily store textual information (but unfortunately in their own proprietary data formats on disk and with sandboxing adding another barrier).

Can it use and search PDFs, RTF files and other formats as “experts”?

One of the screen shots shows a .xlsx in the “Temporary Resources” area.

Also: I haven’t checked, but for a “Local-first” app, I would expect it to leverage Spotlight text importers from the OS, and run something like

  mdimport -t -d3 *file*
on files it can’t natively process.


The Apple data you mention has APIs for feeding them in to LLMs if you wish. Someone just has to write it.

(I wrote one of those Apple API SDKs)
