01Product
Arkemis is a private, voice-first assistant for macOS. Summon a small pill with ⌥⇧A, speak a natural request, and it figures out what to do — summarize, explain, translate, rewrite, draft a reply, pull details out of what's on screen, or take a few steps on your Mac for you.
02Screen & control
When a task needs it, Arkemis reads the active window, your current selection, or the screen using on-device OCR and the Accessibility APIs — so you can say things like "summarize this" or "reply to this email" without copying anything.
03Privacy
Yes. Arkemis runs on your Mac and processes on-device by default. The backend is a stateless relay, and nothing about your screen or audio is stored server-side. Arkemis's own UI is even excluded from screenshots and screen recordings.
04Plans & billing
Two meters. AI Actions — one action per complete hosted request, including a computer-use or research task. Dictations — counted one spoken utterance at a time, with their own allowance. Quick local commands are free and never counted. The exact current numbers and price are shown on the pricing page, read live from the same plan record the backend enforces.
