A Neural Arc product

I open your apps, read your mail, and find the file you forgot the name of.

I click buttons in software that has never heard of me. All of it on this Mac.

[Voice agent for macOS]by Neural Arc

Talk to your Mac.
Watch it work.

Rovyk lives in the notch and operates your machine. Apps, files, mail, calendar and the web. It hears, thinks and speaks on-device.

Where can I be?

Two surfaces, one agent. Switch mid-sentence, it keeps the thread.

01 · The notch

Hands free, in the menu bar

Say the wake word. It drops open, works, then retracts.

A window, when talking is not an option

Unpin the notch and type instead. Same brain, same gate.

Sweep the spectrum to see what any one of them reaches, and what it has to ask you for first.

[how it works]

Say it once. Watch the whole chain run.

No command list, no scripts to wire up. One sentence, and Rovyk decides what to call, asks before anything irreversible, then tells you what it did.

Nothing is recorded until you say the wake word

[the orb]

Five states. You always know which one.

01Idle

Awake. Not listening.

Nothing is captured until the wake word lands.

[what sets it apart]

Built for how you actually use a Mac

Three things no other assistant on this machine will do for you.

001
Any app

It works with apps nobody integrated

Other assistants only reach software they have partnered with. Rovyk drives the macOS Accessibility API, so it operates any window the way you do: click that button, type in that field. If you can do it with a mouse, you can ask for it.

002
Long jobs

It keeps working while you do

Start something that takes minutes and carry on. Task chips fill in, progress is spoken, and checkpoints let you correct it mid-run instead of finding out afterwards.

003
Memory

It remembers across sessions

Which folder your invoices live in, how you like replies worded, what the project is called. Ask what it can do and it answers from live connection state, not a canned script.

[control]

Why you can hand it the keys to your Mac

It is unsandboxed, it clicks real buttons and it touches real files. Three mechanisms sit between that power and your machine.

01 - Confirmation gate

Your provider, your key, your bill. Nothing is billed through us, and none of it is on by default.

[faq]

Everything you need to know

Sandboxing would remove the product. An App Store app cannot drive other applications through the Accessibility API, reach folders outside its container, or run a background agent the way Rovyk does. We ship a direct download instead, so the capability survives.

By default, nothing. Speech to text, the model and the voice all run locally. If you add a cloud API key, the text of that specific request goes to the provider you chose, on your account. There is no Rovyk server in either path.

That permission is what lets it click buttons and type into apps that have no integration. It is the difference between an assistant that describes what to do and one that does it. You can revoke it in System Settings and everything else keeps working.

Only after you say yes. Deleting and moving both sit behind a confirmation gate written in code, independently of the model. It also only ever sees the folders you explicitly granted.

It runs fully offline on a local model. System control, files, mail and calendar all work. Web browsing and web search are unavailable, and long multi-step reasoning is noticeably weaker than with a cloud model.

No. Rovyk is Apple Silicon only, M1 or later, on macOS 27 or later. The local models and the bundled browser agent both depend on it.

Say it once.

Your Mac has been waiting for a better interface than the mouse.
