Apple Intelligence is powerful. Most people just do not have the right interface for it.

This is that interface. An open-source AI chat app that runs in any browser on any device. Windows. Android. Linux. Chromebooks. Anything. All powered by Apple Foundation Models running locally on your Mac.

We built Perspective Intelligence as a native Mac and iOS app. People loved it. But not everyone has a Mac in front of them all day.

Your Mac is already running Apple Intelligence. It is sitting there with a powerful on-device model doing nothing most of the time. Perspective Intelligence Web puts that power in a browser so every device in your home or office can use it. No cloud. No API keys. No data leaving your network. Just your Mac doing the work.

• Chat with Apple Foundation Models from any browser on any device
• 8 specialized AI agents (general, code, writer, summarizer, translator, creative, tutor, accessibility)
• Auto-classifies conversations to the right agent
• Streaming responses in real time
• Dark theme with iMessage-style chat interface
• Email/password authentication with optional Apple Sign-In
• Password reset via email

Any Device (Browser) --> Next.js App (Auth + UI) --> Perspective Server (your Mac)
                              |
                         PostgreSQL

The web app handles authentication and the chat UI. The AI runs on your Mac through Perspective Server, a menu bar app that exposes Apple Foundation Models as a local API.

Download and run Perspective Server on your Mac first, then:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Techopolis/perspective-intelligence-web-community/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Edit next-app/.env.local with your DATABASE_URL, then:

cd perspective-intelligence-web-community/next-app && npm install && npx drizzle-kit push && npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000, create an account, and start chatting.

• A Mac with Apple Silicon running macOS 26+ (for Perspective Server)
• PostgreSQL database (Neon free tier works)
• Node.js 20+

Pull the latest changes, install new dependencies, run migrations, and rebuild with one command:

bash scripts/update.sh

Set up automatic updates with cron (checks every hour):

0 * * * * cd /path/to/perspective-intelligence-web && bash scripts/update.sh --auto

If you use PM2, add --restart to automatically restart after updates:

0 * * * * cd /path/to/perspective-intelligence-web && bash scripts/update.sh --auto --restart

• Next.js 16 with App Router and TypeScript
• Auth.js v5 (JWT sessions, Credentials + optional Apple OAuth)
• Drizzle ORM with Neon PostgreSQL
• SSE streaming for real-time AI responses
• Tailwind CSS v4 dark theme
