Ada · the notch assistant
🎙 "Hey Ada" — your notch is listening (only when you say so)

Your Mac's notch is now the smartest thing on screen

Ada lives inside the MacBook notch. Say the word, ask anything, watch replies bloom under the display cutout — and let her open apps, run commands, and read your screen. All on your machine, with your own AI keys.

Apple Silicon macOS · not a subscription · bring your own OpenAI/Mistral key or Codex login

Ada replying under the notch with live captions and prismatic waves

Voice-first, notch-native

No windows, no chrome, no dock icon clutter. The physical notch becomes the interface: liquid-glass waves ride your actual audio, and replies type themselves out beneath the cutout.

wake

"Hey Ada" or ⌥Space

Fully local wake word — self-trained on-device in seconds, custom phrases supported. Or zero-mic standby via "Hey Siri, open FleetMini". Your choice, one toggle.

brain

Bring your own intelligence

OpenAI, Mistral, or your Codex subscription as the brain — your keys, your models, your costs. We never proxy your conversations through our servers.

hands

It actually does things

Runs shell commands, opens and controls apps, takes a look at your screen when you ask. A real assistant, not a chat window.

craft

Feels like it shipped with the Mac

Retina-crisp captions, 60fps liquid waves driven by the real audio spectrum, a settings panel that grows out of the notch itself.

Questions people actually ask

Does my audio leave my Mac?

Wake word detection is 100% on-device. When you talk to Ada, your speech goes directly from your Mac to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI/Mistral) using your key — never through our servers. We couldn't read your conversations if we wanted to.

Why does the mic indicator show when the wake word is on?

macOS shows the orange dot whenever any app listens — only Siri's dedicated chip is exempt, and Apple doesn't share it. Detection is fully local and the toggle is one click. Prefer zero mic use? "Hey Siri, open FleetMini" and ⌥Space work with the mic fully off.

macOS says the app is from an unidentified developer

The build isn't notarized yet (Apple Developer verification is in progress). Right-click the app → Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. One time only.

What exactly can it do on my Mac?

With your permission: run shell commands, open and control apps (click, type, scroll), capture the screen when you ask it to look, and start Codex coding threads by voice. Every capability is a setting you control.

Refunds?

The 7-day trial is the demo — but if you buy and regret it within 14 days, email us and you get your money back, no questions.
