aictl
Native AI agent for your terminal and macOS desktop
aictl is a single-binary AI agent CLI and native macOS desktop app built in Rust that supports 71 cloud models across 12 providers, plus local inference via Ollama, GGUF, and MLX on Apple Silicon. It features 35 built-in tools, a security policy enforced by default, session management, and an OpenAI-compatible HTTP proxy server. All three surfaces—CLI, desktop app, and proxy server—share the same underlying agent loop and provider catalogue.
A single Rust binary installs via curl and connects to any of 12 AI providers or runs local models, exposing a unified agent loop with built-in tools and a security policy through a CLI, desktop app, or HTTP proxy.
