Description
Free native Mac menu bar app. It follows your Mail, Messages and notifications and texts you a short brief through iMessage with what needs your attention. No new inbox, no API key. Runs on Jev, TypeSafe's new decision model, fast and cheap enough to check every message. That's why it's free. Content goes to hosted AI and isn't stored. The privacy page says exactly what leaves your Mac. macOS 14+.

Could you build this?
Partial While a native macOS menu bar app can be vibe-coded, integrating with protected system APIs (reading Mail, iMessage database/notifications) and deploying a custom fast decision model requires complex system-level permissions and proprietary ML hosting.
What it would actually take: A real build requires Swift/Objective-C targeting macOS with extensive Entitlements, Accessibility API access, and Full Disk Access permissions to monitor local SQLite databases (Messages and Mail). The backend requires an ultra-low-latency decision LLM or fine-tuned classifier deployed on edge infrastructure (e.g., vLLM on AWS/Modal) paired with AppleScript or a private gateway to send automated iMessages back to the user without triggering spam blocks.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
