Watch the Mac change

One sentence. Your Mac moves.

Hold Control + Option, say the task, then watch the result land on screen. ipop.ai opens apps, types, clicks, and launches background agents from one voice command.

18-second beta clip
I said

"Make a note to call mom tonight."

Mac changed

Notes opened. The note appeared.

GA

Founder demo mode

Built by Gagan Arora. No dashboard. No prompt box. Voice in, visible Mac result out.

Actual beta clip

Watch one command turn into a visible result.

A short looping clip sits first because ipop.ai only lands when people can watch the Mac do the thing: hear the request, see the action, verify the result.

real beta clip - 18s loop
01

Hold Control + Option. Speak while the mic is lit.

02

Say one useful thing, like "make a note to call mom tonight."

03

The Mac opens the app and creates a result the viewer can verify.

04

Then scale the same feeling into two visible background sessions.

Why it feels different

It feels different because the result is visible.

You hear the request, see apps move, and verify the after-state yourself. That is the handoff from human intent to real Mac action.

01

Human says it

One spoken request, no prompt window, no setup ceremony.

02

Mac visibly responds

Apps open, text appears, keys press, pages move. You can see the outcome.

03

Agents fan out

For larger tasks, one command can start parallel sessions you can inspect.

Second act

Then one command fans out into agents.

The live demo should escalate from a simple Mac action to a control-room moment: two sessions start, both keep working, and you can inspect what each one found.

Voice prompt

"Launch two agents: one finds prospects, one researches similar companies."

agent 1 - prospects

running

agent 2 - market map

running

Track adjacent funded companies.

  • Mac automation assistants
  • AI browser and desktop operators
  • Voice-first productivity tools
Everyday

"make a note to call mom tonight"

"open Chrome and search Razorpay pricing"

"summarize what is on this page"

Builder

"explain this Xcode error"

"launch two agents: one for prospects, one for competitors"

"open the release checklist and mark the DMG test done"

Security and privacy

Powerful Mac control needs a clear data story.

ipop.ai can listen, inspect approved screen context, and control apps. The beta page says plainly where that information goes.

Voice

Speech becomes text

Dictation uses the configured speech provider. The app prefers AssemblyAI when configured and can fall back to Apple Speech on your Mac.

Screen

Context is request scoped

When you ask about visible content, screenshots or screen text may be sent to the selected AI provider so it can answer or choose an action.

Actions

Your Mac executes locally

App launches, key presses, typing, clicks, and scrolling run through macOS permissions on your machine. A remote server does not control your desktop.

Models

Bring your provider during beta

Early builds use providers you configure, including local CLI sessions or API keys. Hosted credits and billing are not live yet.

Interaction

Hold, say, release.

Shortcut

Hold Control + Option while speaking. Release to send.

Routing

ipop.ai chooses a local Mac action, an AI answer, or a background agent session.

Output

You see the Mac action, hear the reply, or inspect the spawned session.

Founder beta

Free while the Mac build hardens.

Pricing for hosted credits and team features will come after the beta proves the core workflow.

Free beta

$0

Try voice control, local Mac actions, screen-aware help, and light agent runs.

FAQ

Questions before you install.

What does it run on?

Current beta target: Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or newer.

What permissions are required?

Microphone for dictation, Accessibility for Mac control, and Screen Recording for screen-aware requests.

Do I need my own AI keys?

For the beta, yes. Provider setup is local to your Mac. Hosted plans will come later.

Is it signed and notarized?

The beta may trigger a macOS Gatekeeper warning. If that happens, right-click the app and choose Open once.

Does the website collect my email?

No. The download button is direct. If you email hello@ipop.ai, that message is handled as support mail.

Can it run multiple agents?

That is part of the beta goal. Background sessions are being hardened quickly, so expect sharp edges.

Download
