Local-First Mac App

write a few paragraphs about this: Hello, I have created the following application. It should run on Mac silicon computers, I don’t know what you have, if it is relatively new it might run it. https://6340588028610.gumroad.com/l/qkxkt

If I were describing this in your voice, I would write something like this: :::writing{variant="standard" id="58371"} I have been working on a small application that is designed to run entirely on modern Apple Silicon Macs. The idea is simple: instead of depending on cloud services, subscriptions, or someone else's infrastructure, it runs locally on your own machine. If you have a relatively recent Mac with Apple Silicon, there is a good chance it will run without much trouble. What interests me about projects like this is not just the software itself, but the philosophy behind it. We have become accustomed to sending our data, our thoughts, and our workflows to distant servers owned by large corporations. Modern hardware is powerful enough that many of these tasks can now be performed locally. A single laptop today can accomplish things that once required dedicated servers, and that changes the economics of software in a profound way. This application is part of that broader movement toward local-first computing. Rather than treating the computer as a thin client connected to somebody else's intelligence, it treats the computer as a capable machine in its own right. The result is software that is often faster, more private, more resilient, and less dependent on external services. When the internet goes down, the software continues to work. When a company changes its pricing model, the software continues to work. When APIs disappear, the software continues to work. If you have a newer Mac and are interested in experimenting with locally run software, feel free to give it a try. I cannot guarantee it will work on every configuration, but it was built with modern Apple Silicon hardware in mind. As with many independent projects, the goal is less about building another cloud service and more about exploring what becomes possible when we return computation to the machines sitting on our desks. ::: You can find the application here: urlGumroad download pagehttps://6340588028610.gumroad.com/l/qkxkt.

no, it is my project https://github.com/kliewerdaniel/objective.git that is the basis of the project I want you to write a short email

Subject: A Project I've Been Building Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Objective. The idea started from a simple question: what would a news and information system look like if it ran entirely on your own computer instead of depending on cloud services? Objective is a local-first platform that collects information from sources like RSS feeds, Reddit, and YouTube, extracts facts and entities using local AI models, stores everything in a graph database, and attempts to identify contradictions, narratives, and developing events over time. What makes it interesting to me is that it runs on consumer hardware, particularly modern Apple Silicon Macs. Instead of sending data to remote services, the processing happens locally. The system can generate summaries, build relationships between people, places, organizations, and events, and even create audio broadcasts from the information it collects. I've been building it because I think there is value in giving people tools that help them understand large amounts of information without requiring them to hand over their data to someone else. In many ways, it's a combination of local AI, databases, journalism, and software engineering rolled into a single project. If you're curious, the code is available here: urlObjective on GitHubhttps://github.com/kliewerdaniel/objective I thought you might enjoy seeing what I've been spending my time building. Love, Daniel

Here's a short email version that sounds like something you'd send to family: :::writing{variant="email" id="41728" subject="A Project I've Been Working On"} Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been building called Objective. The idea is to create a completely local news and information system that runs on a personal computer instead of relying on cloud services. It collects information from sources like RSS feeds, Reddit, and YouTube, extracts claims and entities using local AI models, stores them in a graph database, identifies contradictions between sources, groups related stories into events and narratives, and can even generate audio news broadcasts automatically. What makes it interesting to me is that it runs locally on modern Apple Silicon Macs and doesn't require sending data to external AI providers. The goal is to explore what independent, locally-owned media and information systems might look like in a world increasingly dominated by centralized platforms. I've been slowly building it in my spare time and learning a lot about AI, databases, information retrieval, and software architecture along the way. If you're curious, the code is available here: urlObjective on GitHubhttps://github.com/kliewerdaniel/objective I thought some of you might find it interesting to see what I've been spending my evenings working on. Love, Daniel ::: The project combines local AI inference, graph-based knowledge storage, and vector search technology to analyze information from multiple sources without cloud dependencies. citeturn0search1turn0search9

no, just do a couple paragraphs instead and link to both the github and the gumroad

:::writing{variant="email" id="58214" subject="A Project I've Been Working On"} Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Objective. It's a local-first news and information system that runs on modern Apple Silicon Macs. The software collects information from sources such as RSS feeds, Reddit, and YouTube, uses local AI models to extract facts and relationships, stores them in a graph database, and helps identify how stories, events, and narratives connect across different sources. One of my goals was to see how much of this could be done on a personal computer without relying on cloud AI services. More broadly, Objective is my attempt to explore what independent media technology might look like when individuals own the entire stack themselves. Instead of sending information to large platforms for processing, the system runs locally and builds its own understanding of the world from the sources you choose to follow. It has been a fun project that combines many of the things I've spent years learning about: software engineering, data science, AI, databases, and information retrieval.
