Hey Halo.
The assistant your Mac
always needed.

Hey Halo is a private AI assistant that lives in your Mac's notch. It finishes your sentences, takes notes on your calls, remembers what you've seen, and speaks up only when it matters. All on your Mac.

Proactive

It speaks up, so you don't have to remember.

This is the part that feels most like a Jarvis. Halo keeps a quiet eye on your day and reaches you the moment something needs you: a meeting that just moved, a promise still sitting in your drafts, a build that broke. It finds you in the notch, out loud, or on your phone when you're away.

Quiet by design. It earns every interrupt. Halo notifies and prepares, and never sends, deletes, or buys on its own.

Built for how you work

For every part of your day.

From deep work to daily tasks, Halo fits right into your flow, and does the work across your apps.

Not another AI app

It's not a clone. It's a category of its own.

You already know tools that do one of these: dictation, autocomplete, meeting recorders, AI agents. The difference with Halo is that it's all of them at once, on your Mac, and it actually remembers.

See how Halo is different
  • Chatbots talk. Halo remembers what you saw, heard, and typed.

  • Dictation apps type. Halo also recalls, drafts, and joins your meetings.

  • Cloud agents send your life to a server. Halo's brain runs on your Mac.

The contract

Powerful AI.
Private by default.

Your screen, your calls, your memory. Processed on your Mac. We couldn't read them if we wanted to.

On-device AI

The brain runs locally

Encrypted

Sync uses AES-GCM

You own it

Your data, your Mac

  • Every captured frame is deleted after a single read.

  • Live audio becomes a transcript and isn't kept. Recordings you start stay on your Mac and auto-delete on your schedule.

  • Memories are written summaries, never images, never screenshots.

  • No telemetry. We don't know how often you launch the app.

Built in the open · follow along

Coming soon

One Halo, every device.

Text Halo from your phone, and let it text you the moment something needs you while you're away. The iPhone companion is in beta testing, with Apple Watch next, then Vision Pro and glasses, all with end-to-end encrypted sync between them. Pro and Lifetime supporters fund this work.

FAQ

Questions, honestly answered.

More questions
Do I need an account?
Not to use Halo. Everything runs on your Mac with no sign-in. A Halo Cloud subscription needs an account; a Lifetime License is tied to an email so you can re-redeem on a new Mac, but doesn't require day-to-day sign-in.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Halo is fully offline by design. Halo Cloud needs network. Bring-your-own-server mode follows whatever server you point it at; if that's running on the same Mac, it works offline too.
Does Halo collect any data about me?
No telemetry by default: Halo doesn't even know how often you launch it. Crash reports are strictly opt-in from Settings → Privacy, off out of the box, and contain no screen contents or audio.
What does Halo Cloud cost me in privacy?
Halo sends your message over an encrypted connection. We process it under agreements that prohibit training on your data, logging your prompts, or sharing them with anyone. Your data is never sold and never used for advertising. Everything ambient (your screen, calls, memory) stays on your Mac no matter which plan you're on.
What are the Mac requirements?
Apple Silicon (M-series) and macOS 15 or later. Halo will not run on Intel Macs.
