## Features
- "Hey Kibo", hands-free: Say “Hey Kibo” and ask. Your words are understood on your Mac, and Kibo answers out loud in Shubh, a warm, natural Indian voice.
- Claude or ChatGPT, your plan: Chat with Claude Opus, Sonnet and Haiku through your Claude plan, or GPT-6 models through Codex with your ChatGPT plan. No extra subscription.
- Memory that stays on your Mac: Tell Kibo to remember something and it does. Bring what ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini already know about you in one paste.
- It does things, with your OK: Open apps, play music on Spotify, take screenshots, set reminders, control windows. Every action shows an Allow card first.
- Every chat, saved locally: Your conversations are kept on your Mac with search and history. Copy an answer or save it to memory in one click.
- Made for macOS: A Liquid Glass island at the top of your screen that opens on hover and stays out of the way. Native, light and quick.

## FAQ
- Is Kibo free? Yes. Kibo is free to download. For chat it uses your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, or an API key you add, so you only pay for what you already use.
- Which Macs does Kibo run on? Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 12 Monterey or later. It works on Macs with and without a notch.
- What does Kibo keep, and where? Your memory and your chats are files on your Mac that only your account can read. Nothing is sent to DevreonDevs. To speak an answer, only its text goes to Kibo’s voice server, which keeps no text.
- Do I need to sign in? Only for Kibo’s natural voice: sign in with Google once. Without it, Kibo still works and speaks with your Mac’s own voice.
- Why does macOS warn me the first time I open it? This first release isn’t notarized by Apple yet. Right-click Kibo in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. You only do this once.
- How is Kibo different from Siri? Siri is built into macOS. Kibo is a separate, free app that brings Claude or ChatGPT on your own plan, or a local model, into your Mac’s notch. It remembers what you tell it on your Mac and can do multi-step tasks for you, each one after you allow it.
- Does Kibo work offline? “Hey Kibo” and speech recognition run on your Mac. Answers come from the AI you choose: Claude, ChatGPT and API keys need the internet, while a local model through Ollama or LM Studio works offline. Offline, Kibo speaks with your Mac’s own voice.
- Can Kibo control apps on my Mac? Yes, if you allow it. Kibo can open apps, play music on Spotify, take screenshots, set reminders and arrange windows. Every action shows an Allow card first, and nothing happens until you approve it.
- Who makes Kibo? Kibo is made by DevreonDevs, an AI and full-stack studio from Patna, India.
