Hands for your AI.

Make your AI work beyond the chat. Melvin is one local execution layer for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok: it lets your AI work with your files and your Mac apps, only where you allow it.

Files

Find anything

By name, kind, size or date, across the folders you allow.

Sort and rename

A clean up is planned before anything moves, so you can ask to see the list first. Each file is checked after it moves, and any change can be undone.

Space and duplicates

What is taking up space, and which files are identical, compared on your Mac.

Names, never contents

Your AI sees names, sizes and dates, never what is inside a file.

Reading inside documents and scans, comparing two versions of a file and checking that a save really landed are being tested now. On the home page

Your Mac

Your own apps

Mail, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Music, through their own controls.

From one app to another

A date from an email into your calendar, an address into a note, a reply into a draft.

What really happened

Each action reports its result. A draft waits in Mail until you press Send.

Your screen stays yours

Melvin works without bringing apps to the front or moving your cursor.

The actions other apps offer to Shortcuts, then the buttons and menus of an app that offers nothing else, are being tested, and are switched off for now. On the home page

Automations

When a file arrives

Tell your AI once what should happen to a file that lands in a folder: rename it, file it, tag it, add it to a list or draft an email.

Approved on your Mac

One window, one sentence: what it may do, and where. Sending or deleting still asks you each time.

Asks instead of guessing

A file it cannot place waits for your answer, given to your AI or on your Mac.

Undo any run

Files go back where they were, under their old names.

Automations are being tested, and are switched off for now. On the home page

Every AI you use

One pairing, one set of permissions and one set of tools, whichever AI you ask. Tasks are tracked and checked, your Mac carries on with them when the chat closes, and anything sensitive waits for you. Connect your AI

The Melvin Mac app also has a chat of its own. What it can do
