How Navi helps,the moment you ask
Two shortcuts, from any app. Navi works out what you meant and does it.
Type what you want. Navi decides what it is.
Click the bar and type your own. In the app, one call to a small decision model makes this choice in about a tenth of a second.
Or say it. Three things in one breath is fine.
“”
- …
One bar,seven kinds of answer
You don’t pick a mode. Navi decides whether you meant something to open, a sum, a question, a job, a meeting, a reminder or a memory.
Opening things is instant.
Apps, files, folders, System Settings panes and toggles like Dark Mode match as you type, from an index on your Mac. Those rows appear before any server has answered, so ⏎ never waits. Every list also offers to ask Navi or search the web instead.
- On-device index
- ⏎ open
- ⌘⏎ ask Navi instead
- ⏎ openMapsOpened
Math answers before you finish typing.
Arithmetic, percentages and tips are worked out on the Mac and shown as the first result. ⏎ copies it.
- On-device
- 18% of $64.50 → $11.61
Questions get an answer, not a page of links.
When what you typed reads as a question, the answer streams into the bar, short enough to read at a glance. ⌘C copies it. No browser tab, no chat window to close afterwards.
- Streams in the bar

About 384,400 km (238,855 miles) on average. The orbit is an ellipse, so it ranges from roughly 363,300 km at its closest to 405,500 km at its farthest.
Tasks run in the app, behind your window.
Give it a job and Navi works out which app it needs, opens it in the background and goes step by step: find the contact, type the message. Sending is the one step it won’t take alone. That waits for you to press ⌘⏎.
- Asks before send, pay, delete
- esc stops it
- Open Messages in the background
- To: “sam” → picked the contact Sam Rivera
- Type “I’m 10 minutes late”
Meetings, without the back-and-forth.
Type who and roughly when, and a card drops down with everyone on one timeline and three times you’re all free. ⏎ books it and sends the invites. It uses the Google, Exchange and iCloud calendars already on your Mac. If someone’s calendar isn’t shared with you, it shows the meetings you have in common.
- ↑↓ time
- ⌘[ ⌘] day
- ⏎ book + invite
A reminder is one sentence.
The task, the time and the alert are filled in from what you typed. “every sunday morning” repeats it, “urgent” flags it. It goes into Apple Reminders, so it’s on your phone too.
- Repeats
- Priority
- Your Reminders lists
Ask about your own day.
With Recall on, Navi keeps notes on what was on your screen, so “what was I working on yesterday afternoon” has a real answer, with the moments it came from.
- Optional
- Notes stay in a folder you own
Mostly the pricing doc. You were in Pages from about 1:10 to 2:40, then read two articles about annual billing in Safari, and spent the last hour in Xcode on the results-list animation.

The decision behind one task. Every step after it is another quick decision like this one, which is how Navi knows to stop before it sends.
Fast, because itdecides first
- ~0.0s
- To decide what you meant
One call to a small model that returns a choice and how sure it is. Not a paragraph.

- Apps and sites it knows
Written playbooks for 60+ Mac apps and 55+ websites, plus what worked for you before.

- API keys to paste
One subscription covers answers, tasks, voice and Recall. No model menus.
What happensafter you press ⏎
A fast model only makes choices and says how sure it is. A slower one only writes, and only when something needs writing. Everything else happens on your Mac.
- 0.00 sYour Mac
You press ⏎. The local rows have been updating on every keystroke already.
- 0.10 sDecides
What is this? A task, 96% sure. It sends a message, so it will stop and ask before that part.
- 0.24 sDecides
Which app? Messages, not WhatsApp: it’s where you usually talk to Sam.
- 0.45 sYour Mac
Messages opens behind the window you’re in. Your cursor and focus don’t move.
- 0.72 sYour Mac
Reads the window as a list of controls and text, the way a screen reader would. No screenshot needed.
- 0.88 sDecides
Next move: start a new message.
- 1.08 sYour Mac
Types “sam” into the To: field, so Messages starts looking up contacts.
- 1.62 sYour Mac
Waits for the suggestions and picks the person, Sam Rivera, over the group chat that starts with the same name.
- 1.86 sDecides
Next move: type the message into the body.
- 2.36 sYour Mac
Types “I’m 10 minutes late”.
- 2.62 sDecides
Next move would be Return, which sends. That can’t be undone.
- 2.74 sYour Mac
So it stops and asks: send this to Sam Rivera? ⌘⏎ sends it, ⌘⌫ doesn’t.
Timings are typical, not a benchmark.
Talk to it like someonesitting next to you
Press ⌥Space and the island drops out of the notch. Navi hears where one instruction ends and the next begins, and gets going on each.
- Open app…
- Do it in Spotify…
- Reminder…
Joiners like “and” and “then” mark where one instruction ends. Without one, a new verb does: “open chrome search for cats” is two.
- Hears you locally
- Speech turns into text on your Mac. Only the words go anywhere, never the audio.
- Acts while you talk
- Each instruction starts as soon as it’s complete. Spotify is opening while you’re still saying the rest.
- Ignores your speakers
- Music, a video, Navi’s own answers: what your Mac plays is subtracted from the mic, so it never turns into a command.
- Takes corrections
- “No, I meant Thursday” replaces what’s running instead of queueing behind it. “Stop”, “undo” and “pause” work mid-task.
- From anywhere
- ⌥Space starts and stops listening, in any app. Or leave it listening from login.
It works while you work
Tasks run in the app they need, behind the window you’re in. Your cursor stays put, your typing lands where you’re typing, and the window it worked in comes forward when it’s done.
- ANA11:05 → 14:10 +1$412
- JAL13:40 → 16:45 +1$438
- United10:50 → 14:20 +1$451
- Zipair16:15 → 19:30 +1$468
Asks before anything it can’t take back
Sending, paying, deleting. Everything else just happens. Turn off Auto mode and it asks before every step.
Stops the moment you say so
A task ends on the spot, wherever it got to. “Undo” and “pause” work mid-task too.
Your browser, a tab behind yours
Web steps run in the browser you already use, with your logins. The tab is never closed out from under you.
It already knowshow you work
A general-purpose model doesn’t know where Notes keeps its new-note button. Navi reads a playbook for the app before every step.
A playbook for every app
Where things are, the keyboard shortcuts, what “done” looks like, what to avoid. And the steps that worked last time get tried first.
It follows your habits
With Recall on, tasks go where you actually work: the Outlook app if that’s how you email, your school’s Canvas instead of the generic one.
It knows who you mean
Names resolve to people and where you talk to them. “Text Priya” goes to WhatsApp if that’s your thread with her.
Any browser
Safari, Arc, Firefox or Chrome. Web steps run in a background tab of the browser you use, with your logins.
Recall: ask whatyou were doing
Optional. Navi keeps a diary of your screen as plain notes on your Mac, so “what was I working on yesterday afternoon” has an answer.

From a frame on your screen to a note on your disk
- 1Capture
A frame now and then, from the apps you haven’t excluded. Paused for an hour or a day in one click.
- 2Read
Text is read off the frame on your Mac. Passwords, and anything you’ve told it not to keep, like card numbers or IDs: the frame is dropped right here.
- 3Triage
A quick check: is this new, is it important, is it sensitive? Most frames stop here.
- 4Summarize
Only the moments that matter are summarized, from their text and up to two small screenshots, with personal details redacted before and after.
- 5Write
Plain Markdown notes in a folder you own, linked by people, projects and days. Open it in Obsidian and it’s a graph.
You decide what it may remember
Settings → Recall has a switch for each kind of personal detail. These are the defaults. For anything switched off, a check on your Mac runs before anything is sent anywhere, and the frame is dropped if it matches. A cleanup can also remove details that were saved before you changed your mind.
- Phone numbers
- Addresses
- Dates of birth
- Card numbers
- SSNs and ID numbers

What stays on your Mac,and what doesn’t
Navi needs a server to decide and to write. Its servers pass requests on and keep your account and usage counts, not the content. Nothing is sold, and nothing is used to train models.
Never leaves your Mac
- The index of your apps, files and settings, and the calculator
- Turning your speech into text
- Reading the text in a window, for tasks and for Recall
- The check for personal details you’ve blocked, which runs before anything is sent
- Your Recall notes: Markdown files in a folder you own
- Task logs, if you turn them on for troubleshooting (kept 7 days, never uploaded)
- Your last 50 searches, used to rank results
Sent, only to do what you asked
- What you type or say
- with the app you’re in and its window title, so Navi can tell what you mean and answer. Your selected text, clipboard or screen memories only when the question refers to them. Local results never wait for any of this.
- During a task
- the text and controls of the one app it’s working in, a step at a time, and sometimes a screenshot of that window.
- With Recall on
- up to a few thousand characters of a moment’s screen text, to judge whether it’s worth remembering; for the ones that are, that text and up to two small screenshots, to write the summary. Details you’ve blocked are removed first, and moments that show them are never sent at all.
Recall is off until you turn it on, skips password managers, private windows and anything you exclude, and keeps notes 30 days by default (7, 30, 90 days or forever). Settings → Privacy & Data deletes everything Navi has stored. Read the privacy policy
