OpenDot on a Mac: the sidebar with a team of Dots

Real app. Real-time. No edits to the answers.

Every Dot has a job, a personality, and only the access you give it. Together, they never sleep.

Create a Dot

Describe it.It comes alive.

01

Tell it what to do.

“Watch my inbox and tell me what actually needs me.”

The New Dot sheet with a plain-English description of what the Dot should do.

02

Pick what it can touch.

Gmail, Calendar, a folder. Nothing else.

Reviewing the Dot's connectors and permissions before it is created.

03

Meet your new Dot.

OpenDot writes its name, look and personality, live, as you watch.

The new Dot, named and styled by OpenDot, live in the sidebar.

Always on

Works while you don’t.

Dots run quietly in the background. The moment an email lands, a meeting moves or a file changes, the right Dot already knows. It only taps you when it matters.

Dot Links

You decide who talks to whom.

Let your Travel Dot ask your Calendar Dot, but only on weekdays, only five times an hour, and only if you approve. Every message is logged.

Permission matrix. Rows are the Dot that asks, columns the Dot that is asked. Travel to Calendar: ask, weekdays only, five times an hour.

Privacy

Your data stays home.

Before masking, the value is maya.chen@example.com. The cloud model sees ⟦EMAIL_1⟧. On your screen you still see maya.chen@example.com.

  • Everything lives in ~/.opendot on your Mac, in plain files you can read.
  • Emails, phone numbers and card details are masked before anything reaches a cloud model.
  • Anything that changes the world, like sending, deleting or paying, asks you first.
  • Your keys are locked in the macOS Keychain.

Any model

Any model.Even the one on your Mac.

Use Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and more, or run fully local with Ollama or LM Studio. Switch per Dot.

Dot

Summarise my week.

Here’s your week at a glance: • 3 meetings moved. Calendar already re-shuffled your focus blocks. • Northwind’s invoice is 4 days overdue. A polite reminder is drafted. • Your flight to Lisbon on Friday is on time; check-in opens tomorrow at 9:00. Want me to send the reminder?

Questions? Answers.

What is OpenDot?

OpenDot is a Mac app that gives you a team of AI assistants called Dots. Each Dot has one job, a personality, and only the access you give it. They run in the background, watch your email, calendar and files, and tell you when something needs you.

Is OpenDot free?

Yes. OpenDot is free. If you connect a cloud model such as Claude or GPT with your own API key, that provider bills you directly. Run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio and it costs nothing.

Which Macs does it run on?

OpenDot needs macOS 14 or later and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is a Mac-only app for now.

Does my data leave my Mac?

Not by default. Everything lives in ~/.opendot on your Mac, in plain files you can read. Emails, phone numbers and card details are masked before anything reaches a cloud model, your keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, and any action that changes something, like sending, deleting or paying, asks you first.

Which AI models can I use, and does it work offline?

Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and Groq, or local models through Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp and vLLM. Any compatible URL works too, and you can pick a different model for each Dot. With a local model a Dot's thinking never leaves your Mac, though Dots that read Gmail, Outlook or other online services still need a connection to reach them.

What is a Dot?

A Dot is a single-purpose AI assistant. You describe what it should do in plain English, choose what it can touch, such as Gmail, Calendar or a folder, and OpenDot gives it a name, a look and a personality. Dots run 24/7 and react to new email, calendar changes, files and webhooks.

What is SuperDot?

SuperDot is the assistant that sits above your Dots. Ask it one question, such as what you need to prepare for tomorrow. It asks the right Dots at once, combines their answers and shows you the sources.

Can Dots talk to each other safely?

Yes, with Dot Links. You decide which Dots can message which, with role-based access, schedules, rate limits and approvals. For example, your Travel Dot can ask your Calendar Dot only on weekdays, five times an hour, and only if you approve. Every message is logged.

When can I download OpenDot, and how does early access work?
