A local-first Mac assistant that reads your mail and calendar, remembers your contacts and commitments, and lets you ask questions from an optional iPhone app.

Why it surfaced

Nemis makes unusually concrete privacy promises: no account, no Nemis server holding your data, encrypted Mac storage, and an approval step before it sends mail, changes shared information, or runs a connected tool. It is also candid about the limits—cloud models still send questions to their respective providers—and is currently free during early access.

August 16’s newborn domains include a 240-material perfume organ, a repeatedly saved JPEG cat, a ski tracker designed by a 15-year-old, and a searchable page claiming to contain 148,303 prescription records.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-16 Domain Arrivals issue.
