Alter
Alter is a native macOS AI assistant that integrates with all apps for voice-first workflows and enhanced productivity.
What is Alter
Alter is a native macOS AI assistant designed specifically for Mac power users who want seamless AI integration across their entire workflow. It works as a system-wide productivity tool that understands context from any app you're using.
The tool operates through voice commands and contextual menus, allowing you to perform AI-powered actions without switching between applications. It can record meetings, transcribe audio, summarize content, write emails, create presentations, and handle complex tasks across apps like Finder, Keynote, and Apple Mail.
What sets Alter apart is its privacy-first approach. Your data stays encrypted locally, and you can run AI models completely offline using Ollama or LM Studio, ensuring sensitive information never leaves your device.
