AIsotope

A personal assistant in orbit around your day.

AIsotope runs on your Mac. It thinks locally, remembers privately, and goes to the cloud only when you say so.

What it does

One app, a lot of jobs.

One assistant for the whole day.

Ask it anything. Hand it a draft, a long email, a page you don’t want to read twice. When it needs a decision, it asks instead of guessing.

Your mail, sorted. The replies, already drafted.

Open your mail in the morning and it’s already sorted into what needs you and what’s just for your information. Where an answer is due, a reply is drafted and waiting — change what you like, then send it now or at eight tomorrow.

Replies, drafted
Send now or later
What needs you

Image generation, right on your Mac.

Describe an image and it is generated right here on your Mac — nothing is uploaded. The prompt stays next to it. Keep it, or generate again; the first one stays.

Your voice, cloned on your Mac.

Record a few seconds of yourself, or import a recording, and AIsotope speaks in that voice — reading replies aloud or adding a voice clip to an answer. Your own voice, or one you’re allowed to use.

Specialists you set up once. They run on your schedule.

Set one up in a minute: say what it may read and how often it should run. The Daily Mail Agent goes through your inbox before you’re up and tells you what actually needs a reply. A new agent only reports back — you widen what it may do when you’re ready.

Scans, PDFs and images, read on your Mac.

Attach an image or a scanned PDF and ask about it — image analysis and OCR run on your Mac. Add watched folders of invoices, letters and contracts, and every answer names the file and the page it came from.

It writes code, and none of it leaves your Mac.

Syntax highlighting as the reply streams, and a copy button on every block and every shell command. Longer files arrive as files you can save, not four hundred lines to scroll past. Attach a source file and ask what’s wrong with it — nothing is uploaded, not even the file you attach.

Your day, laid out before you ask.

Open it in the morning and your day is already laid out, from what’s actually on your calendar. Every line says where it came from. Read it, or have it read aloud.

Tell it once how you like your answers.

Short and plain, or long and careful — save the way you want it written and give it a name. Pick it in any conversation, or put it on an agent so its reports read the same way.

How it runs

Set it up once, then it’s yours.

Install it, open it, ask it something.

That’s the whole setup. No account to create, nothing to configure. AIsotope finds a model that fits your Mac and one click later it’s downloading. Go offline halfway and it carries on when you’re back.

Start with one model. Choose any other you like.

AIsotope sets you up with a model that fits your Mac, so you can start right away — no account, no API key, nothing to pay. Every model in the catalogue says what it can do, like image analysis or tool use, and how it fits your Mac. Picking another is easy.

It remembers what you tell it, and you can see all of it.

Whatever it remembers, you can read, export or delete. Everything it does is written down. Mail, calendar and folders connect one at a time, each with exactly as much access as you allow.

Memory
Activity
Connections

Three things, from day one.

01

Useful the minute it is installed.

Download it, open it, ask it something. No sign-up first.

02

Runs locally. Yours entirely.

Your conversations, memory and documents stay on your Mac.

03

Cloud, when you say so.

For the big jobs, bigger models — Claude, Kimi and more — but only when you say so, and you always see what left.

Changelog

What’s new in AIsotope.

Join the waitlist

We’re building the first alpha right now. Here’s what’s in it so far.

  1. Unreleased

    v0.2.0-alpha.1

    Made for the Macs people actually have

    A walk on a 32 GB Mac found fourteen rough edges. They are fixed, and the chat model now steps aside when image generation, image analysis or speech needs its memory. Microsoft 365 calendars, your reminders and Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are read now too, the mail assistant drafts with what it knows about you, and nineteen more models are there to choose from — each one saying what it can do. Local models, the model library and Agents are redesigned, and German replies are read aloud in a German voice.

    Memory on smaller Macs

    • NewWhen image analysis, image generation, read-aloud or dictation does not fit beside the chat model, the chat model pauses and loads again right after — switch it off in Settings › Assistant.
    • NewQwen3.5 9B brings its own vision projector (mmproj), so on a 32 GB Mac nothing has to pause for image analysis.
    • ImprovedA message you send while the chat model loads again waits in the chat and can be stopped.
    • ImprovedImage generation, voice clips and read-aloud say they are waiting for their turn until they start.
    • FixedA 1024 × 1024 image is no longer refused while 2048 × 2048 is offered — on a Mac short of memory it is generated in tiles.
    • FixedMemory messages say memory (RAM), name what holds it and what helps — never disk space.
    • FixedCards describe the chat model you use, not the one we would recommend.
    • FixedImage analysis no longer stays off for a whole session because the recommended model would not have left room.
    • FixedTwo engines no longer shut each other down while one analyses an image beside the other.

    Chat and tools

    • FixedMinistral 3, Devstral and some Qwen3.5 models answer again when a memory, an attachment or a persona goes with the question — the engine refused those turns before.
    • FixedTools work with Ministral 3 and Devstral — every tool call ended in an engine error before.
    • FixedRegenerate on a continued reply goes on from where it stopped.
    • FixedA reply's token count no longer includes the chat's title.
    • NewEvery reply shows how many tokens it took, next to where it ran.
    • NewA reply that stopped at the length you set can go on — press Continue and it writes on below.
    • FixedSmaller models keep generating images through a long conversation instead of only announcing them.
    • FixedReplies that use tools no longer repeat themselves or run the same step twice.
    • ImprovedWhen a tool gets a wrong argument, the assistant is told what to fix and tries again.
    • FixedConversations get a name again on the smallest model, and turning thinking off works there.
    • FixedAn image can be edited even when no model can analyse it right now.

    Calendar

    • FixedQuestions about your day read whole calendar days in your time zone, also across a clock change.
    • ImprovedAnswers about your day say which calendars were read and mention cancelled events; birthdays and holidays no longer count as your calendars.
    • ImprovedThe calendar understands today, tomorrow or a number of days, however a small model asks.
    • NewMicrosoft 365 calendars are read beside your Mac's own — in answers about your day and on Today, and a meeting in both shows once.
    • NewReminders with a due date join your day — on Today and in answers about it, named as reminders, overdue ones too — once you allow Reminders on the calendar card.
    • ImprovedEach Microsoft 365 account has its own switch for its calendar.
    • ImprovedWhen Microsoft needs one more permission, the connection says so and offers to sign in again.
    • FixedToday shows events with a time instead of saying the calendar could not be read.
    • FixedToday's calendar row is in your language.

    Documents and search

    • NewWord, Excel and PowerPoint files are read — in watched folders and as chat attachments; answers name the slide, or the sheet and its rows.
    • NewText in SmartArt graphics and charts inside PowerPoint files is read too, and cited under its slide.
    • ImprovedA file locked with a password says so and what helps — PDFs too.
    • ImprovedSearching with a whole sentence finds chats and memories, and a long note shows the part that matches.
    • FixedA folder check names only the file types it read this time.
    • FixedA folder check tells you in your language what it read and what it could not.

    Mail

    • NewThe mail assistant can draw on your calendar, notes, chats, memory, documents and earlier mail when it drafts a reply — you choose which on its card.
    • NewEvery draft shows what it drew on, and lists the details of yours it repeats before anything can be sent.
    • NewA document a draft or a search result drew on opens with one press on the Mac.
    • NewAsk for a reply to any mail from the reading pane — Draft a reply, and stop it any time.
    • NewWorking hours are a setting, and the assistant suggests times inside yours.
    • ImprovedWhen a mailbox cannot be read for a draft, Draft a reply says so and offers to reconnect it.
    • FixedThe mail assistant reads your mailboxes in the installed app — Run now and Sort now found no mail there before.
    • NewAppointments any agent proposes wait in Mail › Today beside the drafts — take one, edit it or let it go, or take everything at once with Take all.
    • ImprovedA draft whose mail has left the inbox still opens with that mail, and says so if the mail is gone.
    • ImprovedThe mail assistant works through every new mail instead of stopping at a time limit, and shows how far it is — 4 of 14.
    • FixedOn Ministral 3 the mail assistant reads its own decision and draft again — about every second mail was filed as "can't tell", with no draft.
    • FixedThe mail assistant's drafts no longer end with a note from the model about a meeting it did not propose.
    • NewSort now sorts every mailbox you see, one mail agent after another.
    • FixedTake all counts and takes the drafts of every mail agent, not only the first.
    • FixedThe mail assistant's card names the mailboxes you connected and no longer says none is connected when Microsoft 365 is.

    Agents

    • NewThe Agents screen is redesigned — your agents and the templates in one list, each with an overview, its settings and its rules.
    • NewThe mail assistant runs daily at a time you choose, or every hour.
    • ImprovedSetting up an agent from a template shows what it may do before you start it — open the fold to read it all.
    • ImprovedSettings save as you change them, and deleting an agent asks once, in place.

    Voices

    • NewGerman read-aloud with a German voice — each language speaks with its own voice, chosen in Settings › Voices.
    • NewFour more voices from the Open Swara library, to download in Settings › Voices, each with its licence.
    • ImprovedA long German reply starts reading after about half a minute and keeps going without a pause.
    • FixedReading a message aloud works in the installed app again — the built-in voice could not start there.
    • FixedA very long sentence gets its own message instead of an engine error.
    • FixedLong answers and long clips are no longer cut off after five or ten minutes.
    • ImprovedVoices names the model that is missing.

    Models and settings

    • FixedA finished download shows at once on its card, in Voices and under Image analysis — no restart.
    • NewRemove any model under Local models, including ones you added yourself; a loaded model is unloaded first.
    • NewNineteen more models to choose from, among them Gemma 4, GPT-OSS, GLM 4.7, Devstral 2 and Ministral 3.
    • NewGemma 4, Ministral 3, Devstral Small 2 and Qwen3.5 0.8B handle image analysis and OCR too.
    • ImprovedA 16 GB Mac that cannot hold Qwen3.5 9B gets Gemma 4 E4B instead of LFM2.5 — surer with tools and long texts, and it analyses images.
    • ImprovedA 32 GB Mac starts with Ministral 3 14B — surer at finding things in long texts, and lighter than Qwen3.8 27B, which stays one click away.
    • NewEvery model shows what it can do — vision, tools, thinking — with one line from its maker, and the library filters and sorts by it.
    • ImprovedThe first model is a recommendation to start with, and the whole library is one click away.
    • ImprovedThe model pickers in chat, agents and personas say what each model can do — image analysis, tools, thinking.
    • NewLocal models and the model library are redesigned — a list by task beside a detail pane that says what each model can do, how it fits this Mac and what it measured here.
    • ImprovedThe context window follows your Mac's memory, as in Ollama — 32K from 24 GB, and from 48 GB the model's own maximum where it fits.
    • ImprovedWhen a conversation outgrows the model's context, the chat says so and offers what helps instead of failing.
    • NewWhen a vision projector (mmproj) arrives for your model, one press reloads it and image analysis works right away.
    • FixedThe first screen's download size counts everything that is fetched.
    • FixedSet as default works for a model whose vision projector (mmproj) or speed-up file is still missing.
    • FixedSwitching models waits for a reply or an agent run that is still working instead of cutting it off.
    • NewA model that always thinks says so — on its card and on its replies — and Settings shows no thinking switch for a model that would ignore it.
    • ImprovedA model whose licence limits commercial use says so on its card.
    • ImprovedThe engine is llama.cpp 0.5.0.
    • ImprovedOnce your Mac has measured one model, every other model's speed is estimated from that measurement, and the ≈ note says so.
    • FixedA Mac the speed table does not know no longer calls its speed unknown after it has measured a model.
    • ImprovedSpeed estimates for Macs with M5 Pro, M5 Max, M5 Ultra and M6.
    • FixedA llama.cpp config file or setting elsewhere on your Mac can no longer change how the engine runs.
    • ImprovedThe chat grows with your window — text stays readable while code, tables and images use the room beside it.
    • FixedSettings has one scrollbar, keeps its section list in place and fits a narrow window.
    • FixedTabs that do not fit show a fade and an arrow at the edge instead of cutting the last one off.
    • FixedCalendar and Documents carry your language's names — on their cards, in search and on Today.
    • ImprovedOn a Mac that puts German first, macOS asks for calendar, microphone and reminders access in German, and the app's system dialogs and menus are German too.
    • NewReset everything from Settings › About — AIsotope quits, deletes your data and starts like a fresh install. Downloaded models stay unless you tick the box.
    • FixedThe licence notices name everything compiled into the app, eSpeak NG, PDFium and PDF.js among them.
  2. 24 Sep 2026

    v0.1.0-alpha.1

    The first alpha

    The first alpha of AIsotope. It runs on your own Mac, works the minute you install it, and goes to the cloud only when you say so.

    Getting started

    • NewNo account, no API key, nothing to pay. Install it and start.
    • NewA model that fits your Mac is ready the moment you open it — swap it whenever you like.
    • NewAIsotope updates itself — a new version downloads in the background and installs when you restart or quit.
    • NewYour models tell you when a newer file is out. One press fetches it — nothing downloads on its own.
    • NewMake any installed model the default.
    • NewEnglish and German throughout.

    Asking and reading

    • NewAsk it anything. The answer comes from your own Mac.
    • NewAttach an image and ask about it — image analysis runs on your Mac.
    • NewWatched folders with OCR: ask about your scanned documents, and answers name the file and the page.
    • NewPick the models for image analysis and OCR — or leave both on Default.
    • NewPick the models for image generation, read-aloud and dictation — or leave any of them on Default.
    • NewSix more OCR models — each card says which languages it was tested on and what it leaves out.
    • ImprovedAn OCR model's card keeps what was measured about the model apart from what is true on your Mac.
    • ImprovedLocal models says when macOS already has OCR, so you know when you need no OCR model at all.
    • FixedThe memory a model needs is now read from your Mac instead of estimated, so what fits is what actually fits.
    • FixedOn a 24 GB Mac, read-aloud works while the chat model is loaded.
    • NewOne search across your chats, notes, memory, documents and mail.
    • NewChange a question and ask again. The first answer stays.
    • NewFormulas render as maths and Mermaid code as diagrams, in both themes.
    • NewEdit any image in a chat — ask for a change or press Edit, combine up to four, your own photos included. The original stays.
    • NewiPhone photos (HEIC) work — attach one for image analysis, and edit it like any other image.
    • FixedA photo taken upright is analysed upright, not on its side.
    • NewSee how full a conversation is, and start a new one with one press when it is nearly full.
    • New⌘K finds agents, personas, settings and notes by name.
    • NewToday shows a Now line that moves with the clock, and ‹ › page to any other day.
    • NewThe Mail row shows how many mails need you.

    What it keeps

    • NewIt remembers what you tell it, and every entry is yours to read, correct or delete.
    • NewNotes it can search, quote and help you edit.
    • NewConnect mail, calendar and folders one at a time, with only the access you give.
    • NewOpen a mail attachment in its app with one click, or ask about it in a new chat.
    • NewStart an agent whenever you like — or ask the Editor and the Finance Analyst in a chat of their own.
    • FixedMail could not be sent from a connected mailbox.
    • NewA chat with an agent still says who answered after you reopen it.
    • FixedAttachments on drafts open, large Microsoft 365 files no longer time out, and opened attachments are marked as downloaded so macOS and Office treat them with care.
    • FixedUsage counts the whole prompt a local model read, not just the new part.
    • NewEverything it did is written down — including anything that left your Mac.
    • NewDelete a chat or a note and Undo is right there.

    Agents and ways of working

    • NewAgents that work to a schedule: morning mail triage, a finance analyst, an editor.
    • NewMail opens on Today — your day's mail sorted by the Daily Mail Agent, drafts pinned on top, one pane for reading, drafting and composing.
    • NewArchive a mail or hide it until tomorrow from the Mail screen, with Undo; opening a mail marks it read in the mailbox, and a switch on each connected mailbox decides whether it does.
    • FixedIn a small window, a sender's name and address stay readable while you read their mail.
    • FixedScreen readers now say what the switch on a connected mailbox will do.
    • NewConnect as many mailboxes as you like and switch between them from the sidebar, or see them all at once.
    • FixedWhat a connection can do reads in your own language on its card.
    • NewWrite to several people at once, with Cc and Bcc.
    • NewSend mail from the app — with 30 seconds to take it back, or schedule it for tomorrow morning.
    • NewA mail you have answered says so, and when.
    • NewA Microsoft 365 mailbox asks for permission to send only when you want to send.
    • ImprovedSetting up sending for your own mail server suggests the server, port and login from the mailbox you already have.
    • ImprovedMail opens at once — only what is new is fetched.
    • ImprovedPersonas, Memory and Activity live in Settings now, beside everything else you set up.
    • NewFour personas come with the app — Assistant, Writer, Developer, Ideas. Change them, delete them, put them back.
    • NewHide the sidebar rows you do not use and drag the rest into your own order.
    • NewHidden rows wait under More, one click away — and one more click brings them back.

    • NewSave a way of working you like, with the settings that go with it, and hand it to a conversation or an agent.

    Voice and images

    • NewDescribe an image and it is generated here on your Mac.
    • NewDictate instead of typing, and have answers read aloud.
    • NewClone a voice from a few seconds of audio and let it speak in that voice.

    Making it yours

    • NewTune how it answers — sampling, thinking, how long a reply runs and how many tool rounds it takes.
    • NewSet how much of a conversation each model sees, or leave it automatic.
    • NewSay whether work may run on battery, and whether your Mac stays awake for a download.
    • NewBe told when a job finishes: never, only the ones you started, or all of them.
    • ImprovedWhen macOS blocks the microphone, one button takes you to the right setting.

    Beyond this Mac

    • NewSend the big jobs to Claude or Kimi with your own key.
    • NewDecide where the work runs: this Mac, or the cloud when it needs to be.
    • NewOther apps on your Mac can use the model you have already downloaded.
    • NewOpen that up to the rest of your network when you want it there.
    • NewSee what each model has used, here and in the cloud, and your balance with providers that publish one.
