Grux is an open-source, native macOS agent. It handles your mail, calendar, meetings and files, and runs a shell where every command is snapshotted first, so there is always an undo. Bring your own API key, or point it at a local model through Ollama and use no key at all. No Grux account, no server, no telemetry. New in 3.2: Grux Local, a model trained for Grux's work, one click at first run, sized to your Mac's memory. MIT, Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later.
