About

Arci is a fast, free launcher for macOS. Press one shortcut to open apps, calculate, convert units and currencies, check time zones, search files, ask AI, set timers, and paste from encrypted clipboard history. AI runs on-device with Apple Intelligence, or bring your own Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or OpenRouter key. Build custom actions in plain JSON, or describe one and let Arci Builder write it. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your data stays on your Mac.
