Shadow

On-device personal intelligence engine for macOS that captures and learns from how you work.

Desktopfree

Shadow is an open-source, on-device personal intelligence engine for macOS that continuously captures screen, audio, keystrokes, the accessibility tree, clipboard, and other system signals, then turns them into a searchable timeline and proactive suggestions. It runs local vision models and LLMs entirely on Apple Silicon, and can learn and replay workflows through a safety-gated automation layer. It's aimed at Mac power users who want a personal memory and assistant that never leaves the device, positioned against tools like Microsoft Recall and Screenpipe.
