Personal assistant for Mac
Vunemi 0.2.6 in detail: how you work with it, what it can connect to, and how you stay in control.
Finds mail waiting for a reply, sums up threads and writes drafts. Works with the accounts in your Mac's Mail app, Gmail, Outlook and other IMAP accounts, and never sends without your approval.
Which emails are waiting for my reply?
Reads your calendars and reminders, including Google or Outlook calendars added to your Mac, and adds events or to-dos when you approve.
What's on my calendar tomorrow?
Searches your Desktop, Documents and Downloads, reads documents, and moves or renames files after you approve. Every change can be undone.
Find the invoices on my Desktop and put them in one folder.
Opens pages in a browser inside Vunemi, separate from your own. It reads, compares and fills in forms, and you can press Take control at any moment.
Compare the opening hours of these three museums.
Works with Notes, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Finder, Contacts, Messages and more, without clicking around your screen. Each app has its own switch.
Sum up the expenses in this Excel sheet.
Dictate with a speech model that runs on your Mac: you speak, your words appear as text. In voice chat Vunemi reads its answer aloud in your Mac's own voice, and you can speak over it.
Show me today's meetings.
Ask for a morning summary or a weekly check. Scheduled tasks run while Vunemi is open, and they never send, delete or pay.
Every morning at 9, sum up my calendar.
Attach a screenshot or a photo. Models that can see images describe them; with other models, Vunemi still reads the text in them on your Mac.
What does the error in this screenshot mean?
Tell it how you like to work, or who is who, and it keeps a note in your own words once you say yes. Each answer says which notes it was given; edit or delete them in Settings.
Remember: I want reports as PDF.
Press Record to capture your microphone and the sound from your Mac. Vunemi writes a transcript and summary on this Mac; after a successful summary, it moves the audio to the Trash. Requires macOS 14.2 or later.
Record this meeting.
Type @ to pick an earlier session or a meeting. Its questions and answers, or the meeting's summary, go with your message; up to five at a time.
Which hotel did we choose in @Rome trip?
With add-ons you download when you want them, Vunemi writes Word and PDF documents, makes Excel workbooks with formulas and charts, builds PowerPoint decks, joins and splits PDFs, edits photos and cuts short videos. Each result is a new file.
Crop this photo to a square and brighten it a little.
For a task with several steps, Vunemi can show the plan first. Go ahead, edit the steps or cancel.
Every change comes as a card that says what will happen, where, and to whom.
Type the next request while a task runs. It waits its turn, or interrupt to do it right away.
⌘⇧Esc stops a running task, even when Vunemi is locked.
If Vunemi closes mid-task, it tells you how far it got and offers to continue, asking before any step that changes or sends.
Make a folder a project: Vunemi keeps that work's files there, and every change can be undone.
Notes from your own words, saved only when you say yes. A task gets only the notes that fit it, and the answer says how many it was given.
Type @ to pick an earlier session or a meeting. Its questions and answers, or the meeting's summary, go with your message; up to five at a time.
Tasks waiting for an approval, your answer or a review, from every session in one list. Choosing one opens that exact task, so nothing sits unseen in an older session. Mark a task Seen once you have looked at it; reviews older than 7 days leave the list by themselves, and a task comes back if something happens in it again.
Select part of an answer, up to 2,000 characters, and ask about it. The quote goes with your question, so you don't have to copy it or explain which part you mean.
A task shows its steps, what it made and whether each result was checked. Where Vunemi can read a result back, such as a saved draft or an added event, it checks it; anything it could not check is marked for review.
Each connection is off until you turn it on. A connection that is off is invisible to the model: its tools can't be called at all. Many have separate switches for reading and for changing.
Your Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders, nothing else. Moving a file keeps a backup and never overwrites a file that is already there. It also makes and opens archives, so “zip this folder” finishes in the chat; without that, Finder still does it by hand.
Switches: Reading · Writing (undoable; deletes go to the Trash) · Converting (images, audio, documents)
A browser inside Vunemi's window, separate from your Chrome or Safari. Sign in once and stay signed in; press Take control at any time.
Switches: Reading pages · Clicking and typing
Searches Google Flights and Trivago and shows the options as cards. Choosing a card opens its offer beside the chat. Your route or destination, dates and traveller count go to Google or Trivago. Vunemi does not book or pay.
Switches: Google Flights · Trivago
The accounts in the Mac's Mail app (no password needed), Gmail (with an app password), other IMAP/SMTP accounts, and Outlook (with your own Microsoft Entra app ID). Outgoing mail waits 45 seconds in the Outbox. One-time codes and sign-in links are never shown to the model.
Switches: Reading · Drafts · Sending · Organising
The calendars on your Mac, including Google or Outlook calendars added in Internet Accounts. It can't invite anyone.
Switches: Reading · Adding and changing (undoable)
The reminders on your Mac.
Switches: Reading · Adding and changing (undoable)
Notes, Finder, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Music, Photos, Safari, Chrome, Contacts, Messages and other scriptable apps, without clicking the screen.
Switches: One switch per app
Lists your Apple Shortcuts and runs the one you ask for.
Switches: Every run asks first
Reads app windows and, if you allow it, clicks and types. In apps that allow it, Vunemi can also work in the background: press a button or change a text field without bringing the window to the front, so you don't have to stop working while it does. If something can't be done in the background, nothing is sent. Excel doesn't expose its cells this way, so Vunemi changes the saved file instead. Terminal, password managers and System Settings are always off limits.
Switches: Reading · Control
Tasks you set up in chat that run at set times while Vunemi is open. Vunemi's tools for sending, deleting and paying aren't given to them. So that a task can finish while you're away instead of waiting on an approval card, you can allow it, when you set it up, to act in the apps and on the files you name; Settings shows them, and you can take any of them back. Without that, a task reads and asks before changing anything. Saved files and background control go ahead even while you use your Mac; a step that needs the mouse and keyboard waits until you leave the Mac alone, and after 30 minutes the task stops and says what it did. Mail, messaging, browser and payment apps can't be allowed. Vunemi can't tell what a button in an app does, so allow only apps you trust.
Switches: Setting up and managing
Finds your earlier sessions and recorded meetings when a request is about one. Each request carries only the name, date and one line of the few that fit; Vunemi reads one only when it needs it. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Switches: Finding and reading
Add any MCP server by command or address. Its keys are kept in the Vault.
Switches: One switch per connection
Extra abilities you add when you want them. Each is a separate program: the copy Vunemi was tested with is downloaded once from Vunemi's own release page and checked before it is installed. They run on this Mac without network access and see only the files Vunemi hands them. The programs are the ArtCraft team's Craft apps, open source under MIT or Apache-2.0. They are young: results can differ from Word, Excel or PowerPoint. When Vunemi updates, the add-ons you have are updated with it, and the old copy is kept until the new one is checked.
Without an add-on, Vunemi already reads Word and PDF documents, converts files between formats, and works through Word, Excel or PowerPoint if they are installed on your Mac. Add-ons go further: Vunemi makes the file itself, with no Office needed. Totals in a spreadsheet are real formulas that a spreadsheet program calculates, not numbers the model worked out; a deck has real slides and charts; photos and videos are edited, not only converted. Until now Vunemi could use only a few fixed tools of each program; now it can use everything the program supports, such as pivot tables in a spreadsheet or the layout of a slide. A tool makes a new file and leaves the one it was given as it is. Only when you ask does Vunemi change a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file itself: it first keeps the original in its own folder, and stops if the file changed after you approved.
Writes reports, letters and notes as a Word or PDF file, with headings, lists and tables, on A4 or Letter paper to suit your region. Converts an existing document to another format, such as Word to PDF. Changes text in an existing Word document, such as a date, a price or a name: the change is made in a copy that keeps the original's formatting, so a small correction no longer means writing the whole file again. When you ask, it changes your Word file itself instead, after keeping the original in its own folder. Tables in a new document get clear headers, comfortable row spacing and right-aligned numbers.
Makes an Excel workbook from your numbers. Totals, averages and percentages are written as formulas and calculated by the program, so change a number in Excel later and the total follows. Can add a column, bar, line or pie chart. It can also change a workbook you already have: add sheets, write formulas or build a pivot table. New tables get clear headers and aligned numbers that keep the precision you gave, without a guessed currency.
Builds a PowerPoint deck slide by slide: an opening slide, section headers, slides with a few short lines, charts and speaker notes, in one of eight themes. Reads an existing deck and makes a changed copy of it: new wording on a slide, a slide removed, a new slide after the one you name. It can also change layouts and fit text to its box.
Joins PDFs into one, takes chosen pages out into a new file, rotates pages, turns pictures into a PDF, and lists and fills in a form's fields. It does not open password-protected PDFs.
Draws a poster, card, logo or diagram and saves it as PNG, PDF or SVG. An SVG keeps its shapes and text editable, so you can go on working on it in a drawing program. The model describes the drawing and the program renders it, so how it looks depends on the model.
Crops to a shape such as 1:1 or 16:9, rotates, flips and resizes a picture, fixes tone automatically, adjusts brightness, contrast and saturation, sharpens or blurs, and saves it as JPEG, PNG, WebP or TIFF. Reads iPhone HEIC photos. It cannot remove objects or backgrounds. The program behind it is PhotoCraft, an open-source image editor.
Cuts clips together in the order you give and trims each one. Adds titles, captions drawn into the picture, quiet background music and cross-fades between clips, then exports an MP4 of up to 30 minutes. The program behind it is FilmCraft, an open-source video editor.
Four presets, from Watch and suggest to Act on its own, plus a setting for each kind of action. Financial actions are always off.
Keys that tools use are encrypted with a key in your Mac's Keychain. The model only ever sees the name.
Everything the agent did, kept on your Mac, with Undo. The list grows to hundreds of rows, so rows are grouped by the request that set them off and can be searched; open a group to see each step.
Files it wrote, drafts it saved, events it added and files it downloaded, with Open and Show in Finder.
Messages waiting to be sent, and what happened to each.
Lock Vunemi with Touch ID or your Mac password.
Forget one session, one note or everything. A note from memory never grants a permission, and words from pages, mail or files can never become one.
When Vunemi asks to read a file or look at a window, you can allow it once or for the rest of the task, up to 8 times, instead of approving every read. A changed file needs new permission, you can revoke one at any time, and none carries over to scheduled tasks.
Some tasks ask for many small approvals in a row, and pressing each one gets in the way of the work you handed over. On an ordinary card you can approve the rest of the task: that app and local changes stop asking until the task ends. Sending, deleting, replacing a file, mail, messaging and browser apps, and warnings still ask. Ask again takes it back, and it ends by itself if Vunemi can't tell whether a step took effect. You never have to use it: without it, every step asks on its own.
If Vunemi can't tell whether an action took effect, it does not do it again. The task is marked Result uncertain and waits for you to check, even after a restart.
At every permission level. At these steps it stops and hands over to you.
Use Vunemi's built-in engine, or a model server you already have: LM Studio, Ollama or llama.cpp. You can also add a GGUF file from your Mac.
