Field notes
The site presents a browser demo with sample prompts, including playing an episode, running a shortcut, and explaining a terminal error. The Mac setup instructions call for macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon or Intel; the app also asks for Accessibility access to detect the key and click in apps. The privacy section says it does not use sudo or touch passwords.
