Aether local engine · runs on your Mac · no cloud

Your local models can now use tools.

Aether's local engine now speaks MCP — the open tool protocol. Your on-device model can read and edit files, search the web, run commands, and reach any tools you connect — and it all happens on your Mac. No proxy, no agent framework, no API key.

  • Built-in toolbeltfiles, search, grep, shell, git, datetime — out of the box
  • Bring your own toolsdrop in the same tool config other apps use
