Mars understands what you are working on, works across the apps you already use on your Mac, and handles the tasks that usually slow you down — without sending your data to the cloud.

See Mars in action

Don't hammer a nail with a bulldozer

No $20–$200/mo subscription tier unless you really need one. Mars runs on your Mac first — on-device models handle everyday work at full speed with zero API cost. Frontier cloud models step in only when the task needs them, so a modest credit stretches for weeks of heavy use or months of everyday work.

  • Local-first by default

    Files, apps, terminal, and automations run on Apple Silicon — fast, private, and free.

  • Frontier only when needed

    Mars routes hard questions to cloud models selectively — not on every prompt.

  • Right-sized spend

    Skip the $20–$200/mo tier unless you need it. Everyday work stays local; cloud is for the hard jobs only.

The idea behind Mars

Mars grew out of a simple idea: your Mac should do more than respond. It should understand what you need and help move things forward — entirely on your machine.

Chat with Mars naturally

Send images, ask follow-ups, and get structured answers — Mars reads your calendar and surfaces a daily plan in one thread.

Capture text from anywhere

Scan text on screen, tap Translate, and send — Mars returns the translation with a short explanation.

Why Mars is a choice for you?

  • Solve by asking

    Describe what you need in plain words. Mars figures out the steps and gets it done on your Mac.

  • 100% local

    Prompts, files, and context stay on your machine. On-device models — not the cloud.

  • Easy integration with your apps

    From Finder to Terminal to Mail and Notes, Mars chains actions where your day already happens — fewer context switches.

  • 100+ built-in skills and tools

    Files, terminal, apps, and automations — ready to use without wiring up integrations first.

  • Professional tools

    LaTeX and CAD support for technical writing and design workflows — right alongside everyday Mac apps.

  • Research & studying

    Ask Mars to handle the research job and study prep — sources, notes, and workspace ready.

  • Repeatable automation

    Save a skill and run it on demand in plain language — consistent runs without re-teaching.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I get Mars?

Join the beta waitlist on this page. We will email you when access opens.

Does Mars require the internet?

Core workflows run locally on your Mac. Mars is built for on-device inference and system actions.

Do I need a $20–$200/mo subscription?

Not unless you really need heavy frontier usage. Most everyday tasks run locally on your Mac at no API cost. Cloud models are used only when needed, so a modest credit typically lasts weeks of heavy use or months of regular work — no oversized subscription required.

What Macs are supported?

Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26.3 or later.
