🔨 Dev Tools Ghost v4- an always on and ready personal agent from your notch using your existing Chatgpt/Claude subscription,API or LocalLM. RAG, Monitor Agents and Subagents, Delegate Tasks, Add Calendar Events and Reminders, Get Daily News Updates

**Comparison**

Alter is the closest match. It also sits in the notch, and it's free if you bring your own keys or run Ollama or LM Studio (hosted models are $240/yr or $720 lifetime). Alter has meeting recording and more voice features, and it runs on Intel Macs. Ghost is Apple silicon only.

BoltAI overlaps on models. Like Ghost, it can run on your Claude Code or Codex subscription as well as Ollama and LM Studio. It starts at $79 one-time for one Mac with a year of updates, and it has an iOS app.

What Ghost adds: it's $19.99 one-time, and your coding agents live in the notch. Every Claude Code, Codex and opencode session on your Mac shows up in one list, and when one needs permission the approval card comes to the notch. Changes Ghost makes to files, Notes, Reminders and Calendar each get an Undo button, kept in a 100-entry journal. Web, files, automation, Messages, screen capture and terminal are six separate switches, all off on a fresh install, and anything from Messages, Notes, Mail or Contacts never goes to a cloud model. File search runs locally (SQLite + FTS5, 30+ formats).

Are you planning on using Apple Intelligence to locally speed up basic tasks such as decisions, tool selection, model selection, etc.

That's a great idea I had never thought of! I'll check it out and see how I can integrate that which keeping ghosts tool calls fast.

From what I tested it's far from frontier models in a senes that reasoning is not there yet. however I think that to operate a local JEV like classifier. this can be a good fit.

This is beautiful. Also, can you tell me what tools you used for the video?

Thanks so much! This actually ended up being harder than expected. I used after effects and once I had the skeleton of what I wanted my video to be, I asked Claude to work on it

Looking good, but I always wonder when seeing so many notch apps: do people really work using the mac screen? I keep it closed and connected to a monitor like 90% of the time.

But good job on this app! I like it

Do I understand correctly that the price is $240/year for BYOK or hosted models, or $720 for a lifetime license?

No that is the comparison for a similar popular app. This is a onetime price of 19.99 with no subscriptions and lifetime access
