Your own AI on your Mac: chat, a coding agent, pictures, voice, music and video, and search through your files, with every model running on the machine itself.

What it does

Manita gathers the AI models that run on a Mac into one window. Chat answers and can talk back by voice, Code works on a project in a folder you pick, Create makes pictures, speech, music, short videos and 3D models, and Library searches your own documents and opens the passage it quoted.

Every model runs on the Mac, through Ollama and local engines for speech, pictures, video and music. One switch decides whether it may search the web, and cloud models stay off until you add a key and turn them on. Every video, voice reading, music piece and 3D model it makes is marked as AI-generated inside the file.

The coding agent works inside a macOS sandbox, at a permission level you set, and asks before anything that level does not allow. At every level it refuses keys, .env files and the Keychain.
