# Agent! for macOS > An open-source, native Swift AI agent for macOS 26.4+ that lets you build apps, write code, manage files, and automate workflows through natural language. Agent! is a 100% native Swift AI desktop assistant for macOS 26.4+ Tahoe, designed as an open-source alternative to Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and OpenClaw. It works autonomously through natural language to build apps, write code, manage files, and automate workflows — all with zero Electron overhead and deep macOS integration via Accessibility APIs. It supports all major LLM providers including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, and more, and uniquely leverages on-device Apple Intelligence for tool-calling, token compression, and task summaries. - **Desktop Control** — *Control any app through natural language using Accessibility APIs and Swift automation; click, type, scroll, and navigate hands-free.* - **Agentic Coding Tool** — *Intelligent code editing with Coding Mode and full Xcode integration for seamless app development.* - **Xcode Integration** — *Build, run, and deploy apps with AI assistance; fix errors, manage project files, and automate version bumps inside Xcode.* - **Custom Agents & Automation** — *Automate anything with Custom Agents powered by ScriptingBridge, shell commands, AppleScript, and accessibility actions.* - **File Management** — *Create, read, edit, and organize files across your codebase with smart folder views and token-efficient compressed reads.* - **MCP Support** — *Extend Agent! with Model Context Protocol servers for databases, APIs, and tools, including built-in XCF Xcode Lite integration.* - **Apple Intelligence Integration** — *Uses on-device Apple Intelligence as a real tool-calling agent for accessibility intents, token compression, triage of direct commands, and task summaries.* - **Advanced Speech Recognition** — *Dictate requests hands-free with on-device speech recognition or enable Voice Control for the "Agent!" command; also supports iMessage remote control.* - **Multi-LLM Provider Support** — *Works with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen, GLM, vLLM, LMStudio, HuggingFace, and more.* - **Open Source** — *Star and fork on GitHub; distributed as a downloadable DMG with full source available.* To get started, download the DMG from GitHub, drag Agent! to /Applications, register background services, approve in System Settings, configure your LLM API key in Settings, and type your first task in natural language. ## Features - Desktop control via Accessibility APIs - Agentic coding with Xcode integration - Custom Agents via ScriptingBridge - MCP server support - Apple Intelligence on-device tool calling - Token compression via Apple Intelligence - Voice control and speech recognition - iMessage remote control - Multi-LLM provider support - File management and codebase navigation - Shell commands and AppleScript automation - Vision support for screenshots and clipboard images - Clarifying question prompts - Version bump automation - Native SwiftUI interface ## Integrations OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama, LMStudio, vLLM, HuggingFace, Qwen, Grok (xAI), BigModel GLM, Z.ai, Xcode, AppleScript, ScriptingBridge, Model Context Protocol (MCP), iMessage, GitHub ## Platforms WINDOWS, MACOS, IOS, API, CLI ## Pricing Open Source ## Version 1.0.72 ## Links - Website: https://macos26.app - Documentation: https://github.com/macOS26/Agent - Repository: https://github.com/macOS26/Agent - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/agent-for-macos
