Website demo result. In the app, what I found lands right here.
Pliby
Less clicking.
More doing.
I’m Pliby, your personal Mac assistant. I live in your notch, help with what’s on your screen, and turn “how do I?” into “done.”
For macOS 14.2+ · In development
One email when your platform is ready.
“Where do I change this?”
I’ll point you there.
Website demoI’m already up in the notch. Click me to say hello, or hold ⌃ control + ⌥ option.
What can Pliby see and do?
Voice requests can include screenshots so I can help with the app in front of you. I can click, drag, type, and open apps. I speak first and show the target; tap the shortcut to cancel. Typed chat carries no screenshots and runs no actions.
Can I use a local model?
Yes. Private mode uses a local model endpoint and Apple speech. You can choose your providers in Settings. Make Pliby yours.
When can I try Pliby?
Pliby is in development for macOS 14.2 and later. Windows is next, then Linux; there are no release dates yet. Join the waitlist for your platform.
Talk
Hold Control+Option and just say it.
Hold the keys, ask out loud, let go. No window to find, no box to click into.

Point
It shows you before it clicks.
I speak first and show you the target. Then I click, drag, type or open the app. Tap the shortcut to cancel me anytime.
My arrow follows your cursor around.
This one is just for show here.
Color My arrow and glow.
Ask “how do I…” on your Mac and I walk you through it the same way: next, back, stop. This website demo only points. It never clicks for you.
Agents
Start an agent to…
Hand me a job and keep working. A little copy of me goes off and does it in the background.
Examples to try
Running now
- No agents yet. Start one and it shows up as a little ghost at the top right of the desktop.
- Four at most. Each one is a small ghost in the top-right corner.
- Click one to see how it’s doing. Stack them into one pile when they crowd you.
- Results land in the notch. Private mode pauses them.
Website demo: these agents don’t browse anything. They finish on their own after a few seconds.
Workflows
Record it once. Say the name later.
Show me a task one time. After that, ask me to show you how, or to just do it.
Say

.Do the task once, the way you always do.
Say

and give it a name.
Later, say show me how to…
and I walk you through it, or do…
and I do it myself.
