Meet Pip, the companion that lives in your notch

Pip is small, round and lives in your notch. It tells you about your day, does things when you ask, and has excellent manners about when to stay quiet.

Hi!Salut !Hai!Halo!مرحبا¡Hola!

It speaks up when it matters

Pip comes down from the notch with what you need to know, then gets out of the way: your next meeting before it starts, a Mac working hard, a battery running low, a break after a long stretch. Click a notice to reply right there in the notch.

During calls, full-screen video and Focus, Pip waits, then catches you up.

It does things when you ask

Press ⌃⌥Space anywhere and ask. Pip can play music or a video, open apps, add events and reminders, change the volume and other settings, and answer questions about your day.

Anything that matters asks you first: force-quitting an app, moving files to the Trash, restarting, or reading your screen.

It writes, you send

Ask Pip to email someone, text them or start a call, and it prepares a card: the email in Mail, a message in Messages or WhatsApp, an invitation in Calendar, a FaceTime call, files to AirDrop. Change anything on it, then press the button. Nothing goes out until you do.

It uses the AI you already have

There’s no Pip subscription. Pip works with the account you already pay for, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Google, or Hermes running on your own Mac. Your chats stay on your Mac, and nothing goes to us.

You can talk to it, too

Turn on Talk and Pip Live listens and answers out loud, and you can cut in while it’s talking. Its voice comes from a voice service you choose (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Azure Speech or Google Cloud) with your own key. macOS turns your words into text, on your Mac for English and Malay.

It speaks your language

English, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, French and Spanish. Pick one in Settings and Pip uses it everywhere.
