Arci. Type it, it's done.
Press one shortcut and Arci is there. Open apps, do quick sums and conversions, search the web, ask AI, set a timer, and run your own shortcuts on whatever you've typed, selected or copied. All without your hands leaving the keyboard.
Free · macOS 26 or later · Apple silicon
Fast. Light. Out of your way.
Arci is made just for the Mac. It's there the moment you press your shortcut, keeps up with every key you type, and gets out of the way when you're done.
One bar for the small things you do a hundred times a day.
Answers as you type
15% of 80, 12 km in miles, 100 usd to eur, 330 singapore time, days until dec 25. Answered while you type, even offline. ↩ copies the answer.
Actions on anything
Type something and press ⇥ to search it, ask AI, translate it or save it as a note. Give any action its own keyword or hotkey and use it from any app.
Select, then decide
Select text in any app and a strip of chips appears over it: copy, search, define a word, fix your grammar in place, summarize a YouTube video or the page a link goes to. Or press ⌘E in the bar.
Paste, then decide
Paste into the bar and Arci suggests what fits: open a link, summarize the page, map an address, tidy a list, translate a paragraph in French.
Clipboard history
⇧⌘V from anywhere brings back what you copied. Searchable and encrypted. Password managers' copies are never kept. Keys from more than 280 services, cards and one-time codes are masked and gone in minutes.
History that learns
↑ brings back anything you ran, answers included. And the more you use Arci, the better it guesses what you're after.
Notes
⌘S keeps any answer as a note, in a folder you choose, and ⌘E edits it right there. Plain text files you'll always be able to open.
Bookmarks that file themselves
Select a link or a page and Keep. Your Mac reads it and gives it a title, a one-line summary, tags and a kind, all on-device. Then type what you remember: something sweet to bake finds the cookie recipe.
Timers, alarms, reminders
timer 25m tea, alarm 7am, remind me to call mom at 5pm. A chime, a notification and a countdown in the menu bar, or send it to Apple Reminders.
AI, your way
Private and free with Apple Intelligence on your Mac, or bring your own key for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi and more. Ask follow-ups right in the bar.
Four looks
Ink, Prayukta's own colours; Paper, the same on warm paper; Dusk, plum glass with soft corners; Sage, charcoal and sage green with round corners. Settings shows each as a small picture of the panel.
And the rest
Translate anything, copy text from the screen, find a file, quit a stuck app, pick a color, tidy your Downloads, keep your Mac awake.
Your own shortcuts, made in seconds.
Search any site, run an AI prompt on what you've selected, paste a snippet, start an Apple Shortcut, tidy a folder. Describe what you want and Arci Builder makes it for you, or write it yourself: every action is a few readable lines in a file that's yours.

Just describe it: Arci Builder writes the action and shows you the change before anything is saved. 20 builds a month are free, and Arci Pro makes them unlimited.
Prefer to write your own? The actions guide has every option and a cookbook of recipes to copy.
Your Mac, your data. No account, no analytics, no tracking.
Kept on your Mac
Your history, clipboard, notes and actions stay on your Mac. We only see what you send us on purpose, like an action you ask Arci Builder to make.
Sent only when you ask
Text leaves your Mac only when you use a feature that needs the internet, like translation or AI with your own key. Both can run right on your Mac instead.
Permissions when needed
Arci asks for a permission only when something needs it, explains why, and works fine without the ones you skip.
Free for good. Pro when you want more.
