Requirements

What Wilson needs.

Chip
Apple Silicon

M1, M2, M3, M4. No Intel build — the local models need the Neural Engine.

macOS
14 Sonoma or newer

Tested on Sequoia (15) and Tahoe (16). Sonoma is the floor.

RAM
16 GB min

8 GB machines will work. You won't love it.

Disk
~2 GB

App is small. Your knowledge graph grows with you.

Permissions
Accessibility, Microphone

Accessibility for voice control of other apps. Microphone for voice input. Both prompted on first use, not preemptively.

Windows / Linux
Not today

Wilson is built on macOS accessibility APIs. A Windows build is a different product.

After the download

What the first ten minutes
actually look like.

01

Move to Applications, open.

Gatekeeper check passes — Wilson is notarized. The orb appears in your menu bar. That's it; no launchpad clutter.

02

Wilson asks a few questions.

What do you do, who do you work with, what are you working on this week. Talk or type — it's a real conversation, not a form. Skip anything that feels weird.

03

Point it at things to read.

A few sent emails so it learns your voice. A project doc or two. A Figma or Notion link. Drag and drop, Wilson reads.

04

Connect accounts — one at a time.

"Connect Gmail." Wilson posts a clickable OAuth link in the chat. Same for Slack, Calendar, GitHub, Linear, HubSpot. You approve each scope yourself.

05

Start using it.

Press ⌥Space. Ask the thing you were going to google. Wilson already knows the half of it.

Changelog

What shipped lately.

  1. 0.9.4 April 16, 2026

    Smart notifications, grown up.

    Morning brief now scores nudges by who matters to you, not what's loudest. Action feedback UI when Wilson does something on your behalf. Audit processor fixes. Menu bar pulses when there's something you'll want to look at.

  2. 0.9.3 April 12, 2026

    Streaming pipeline bridges all 30+ capabilities.

    One unified pipeline replaces the legacy bridge. Every capability streams. Injected current time into system prompt so Wilson knows what day it is.

  3. 0.9.2 April 4, 2026

    Confirm flow, security pass.

    Destructive actions now route through a confirm modal. Passed a comprehensive security audit — secrets handling, IPC sandboxing, keychain storage. Nothing exciting for you, a lot of work for us.
