Your Mac,your models,your orbit.
Ai Keeper is the native macOS control surface for local AI. Run 12 process-backed engines or Apple Intelligence, generate images, video, and music, orchestrate reviewed agent work, and reach 23 channel families. Work stays local by default; cloud routes and sharing are explicit choices.
§ 01 · Architecture
Three layers, one signal path.
Serve models, orchestrate work, extend with tools. Each layer stays inspectable — see what is running instead of guessing where a feature lives.
SERVE · S·01▲
Keep local models online
Pick from 12 process-backed local engines — omlx and llama.cpp by default, plus mlx-serve, mlx-optiq, ds4, MTPLX, vmlx, TurboQuant, llama-diffusion and more — or use Apple Intelligence in process when the Mac supports it. Automatic chooses a compatible route. One proxy publishes OpenAI-, Anthropic-, and Ollama-compatible APIs with streaming, tools, and MCP.
ORCHESTRATE · O·02◆
Run agents with intent
Coordinate multi-agent workspaces with sequential or parallel execution, delegation jobs, standing orders, hooks, and scheduled task flows. Approvals and a real-time WebSocket control plane keep state in view.
EXTEND · X·03●
Plug in tools, memory, channels
Mount MCP servers, ingest documents into RAG, drop plugins from ClawHub, ship to Slack or WhatsApp, or hand work to 16 provider routes with automatic failover. Mix what you need per task.
§ 02 · Console
A workstation, not a dashboard.
Thirteen Server-mode hubs keep chat, models, media, agents, knowledge, automation, extensions, testing, and operations visible. Client mode uses seven focused hubs, including authenticated Server Administration.
