Join the free Public Beta.

Free beta for macOS on Apple Silicon. We keep your address to tell you about updates and the launch.

Before you install.

Operating system

macOS 14 Sonoma or later

Jikoku is a native Mac application and uses recent Apple frameworks.

Processor

Apple Silicon required

The current local language model runs on Apple chips.

Memory

8 GB target, more gives headroom

Local models are queued to avoid running speech and language processing together.

Local models

About 8.4 GB, downloaded in the beta

In the Public Beta the speech and language models are optional downloads you start yourself in Settings.

Beta download

About 13 MB, models excluded

The beta disk image carries the application only. Reserve room for the models if you decide to install them.

System access

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Microphone

macOS asks for each protected permission when the related function needs it.

About Gatekeeper and distribution

The beta is signed without Apple notarization, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open it through System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway. Never bypass a warning for a package that did not come from an official Jikoku channel.

The beta is free and has no expiry. Pricing, trials, App Store purchase and restore-purchase controls are intentionally absent until those flows exist. Read the privacy architecture before leaving your email.
