Naseem

What is Naseem?

Naseem is a native macOS app that runs a tool-using AI agent on your Mac. Instead of only chatting, it reads and edits files, runs terminal commands, drives the iOS Simulator, and controls Mac apps, asking for approval before acting. It works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, or fully local models through Ollama and MLX.

Top Features:

• File editing: inspects, patches, and creates project files without any copying and pasting.
• Terminal access: runs git, xcodebuild, package managers, and tests in your real environment.
• App automation: controls the iOS Simulator and GUI-only Mac apps through accessibility APIs.

Use Cases:

• App debugging: build an Xcode project, read the errors, and apply fixes.
• Test runs: execute test suites, check results, and repeat until everything passes.
• Workflow automation: script repetitive tasks across Mac apps that lack any public API.

Who Can Use Naseem?

• iOS developers: automate simulator testing and build fixes without leaving the Mac.
• Mac power users: hand off file, terminal, and app chores to an approved agent.
• Privacy-minded teams: run capable agents fully on-device with local Apple Silicon models.

Pricing

• Free ($0): core tools, web search, vision, memory, and basic profiles with your own key.
• Pro ($29 lifetime launch price, regular $49): adds simulator automation, computer use, sub-agents, and Telegram remote access.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Approval gate: every action waits for your go-ahead before it touches your system.
• Model choice: switch between major cloud providers or free local models anytime.
• No subscription: a single payment unlocks Pro, and a 30-day full trial comes first.

Cons:

• Platform limits: there is no Windows or Linux version of the app yet.
• API costs: cloud models bill your own key, adding usage costs on top.
• Small project: it is a newer indie app with a smaller community and docs.

FAQs:

1) Does it need an internet connection?

Not always, since local models through Ollama or MLX run fully on Apple Silicon.

2) Can it change files without asking?

No, actions sit behind a human approval gate, so you confirm before anything runs.

3) Is there a free trial of Pro?

Yes, every install starts with a 30-day full-feature trial, then continues on Free.

4) Which AI providers work with it?

Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, and local MLX models are all supported.

5) Is it a subscription?

No, Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase with no recurring fees.
