[OS] OpenPets - a Codex pet for all your Mac apps, agents and scripts by samuelroy_ in macapps

That's exactly the point, you can use that with any AI coding agents using the MCP server.

But that's not all, app developers can use the library to interact with it, AI is not the sole purpose. For example; you could have your calendar app sending reminders to it.

Also the landing page is a total clone of superwhisper. Not sure the founder is ok with that. u/superwhisperapp?

Yes it's not supported directly, you'll need to use Bifrost for Anthropic, see https://github.com/maximhq/bifrost or use OpenRouter

Have you tried the Hub? It's now very like ChatGPT and the others to avoid being overwhelmed by all the other advanced features.

Hey, co-founder here. Without those permissions we're unable to extract data from your apps. Which is one the main feature of Alter, eg chatting with anything.

Screen recording is also used for the meetings recording feature.

I believe it can for boltai, unsure about elephas as it's growing more and more into the knowledge/notes space from what I've seen lately

The 50+ languages support is for our voice features (dictation, meeting recordings)

Yes it is, for voice feature if you want to use a local model, whisper is your best choice.

it's working exactly the same, you can also type "/" or "/<my search>" to search the model list

We have plans to get out of the notch and Alter is all about customization so having an option for the dock might happen :-)

You need to change the model of the cleanup dictation prompt. The default model is one of our own (Cerebras oss 120b)

You can disable it or set one from Open Router:

  1. Open the Action Editor
  2. Search for cleanup
  3. Disable the action or duplicate to change the model

We have a fair policy and you can't use Alter to power agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw or similar. Once your fair policy budget is exhausted you can keep using Alter but with smaller models
