Arrange your windows, find a file, or ask about what is on screen by holding **Control–Option–Space** and speaking. **Atticus**, by Saarth Ranka, combines quick local commands with an agent for more involved tasks.

Its useful twist is remembering successful workflows so repeated requests can follow saved steps. The creator shared the Mac assistant on October 12; another developer has already made a Windows fork.

Free, open-source software. The current Mac version needs **macOS 26** and a supported AI client; paid-service costs depend on the client you use. The repository includes a video demo.
