## Installation
1. Download the latest DMG `Apple_AI_Universal.dmg` from [MacBunny](https://macbunny.co/appleai)
2. Open the DMG and drag “Apple AI” to Applications.
3. Launch Apple AI. A star icon appears in the macOS menu bar.

Tip: If macOS warns that the app is from an unidentified developer, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".

### First Launch Security
- When installing Apple AI, you may encounter a security warning due to macOS's Gatekeeper feature
![Security Warning](requirements/gatekeeperwarning.png)
- This is a normal security measure to ensure the app is from a trusted source
   

- If you see a security warning, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click 
"Open Anyway"
![Open Anyway](requirements/privacyissues.png)



## Preferences
Open Preferences from the menu:
- Always on top: Keep the chat window above other apps.
- Open at Login: Start Apple AI automatically when you log in.
- Models: Show/hide the services you want in the quick menu.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Toggle Window is fixed to ⌘E for reliability.
- About: Shows the app version and helpful links.

## Keyboard Shortcuts
- ⌘E: Toggle Apple AI window open/closed (works globally across apps)
- Standard text editing in chat inputs: ⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘A

## Privacy
- Apple AI runs entirely on your Mac. It opens each service’s official website in a WKWebView.
- Your chats and settings remain on your device. We do not collect your data.
- Microphone and screen access are only requested when you use features inside those web apps (e.g., voice chat or screenshot uploads).

## Compatibility
- macOS Monterey (12.0) and later
- Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs
- Universal DMG recommended for best compatibility




## Troubleshooting
- “App is damaged and can’t be opened”: run `xattr -cr "/Applications/Apple AI.app"` or use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
- Global shortcut not working: ensure no other app uses ⌘E globally.
- Chat not accepting input: click once inside the web view to focus, or toggle the window with ⌘E.
