MAC / WATCHMUSE
Your Mac. More possibilities.
A place to chat, choose a model, and let your own Mac handle requests from your other devices.
Run a local model
Download a supported model, then select it for use on this Mac. Hardware and model size affect performance.
Choose your provider
Use the AI providers you have configured. The built-in Qwen service is online, not a downloaded model.
Connect your devices
iPhone and iPad can send text to your Mac. Apple Watch goes through its paired iPhone.
Mac feature preview · checked against current source on October 4, 2026. This is not confirmation that a Mac build is available in TestFlight.
02 / CONNECTION
Choose where your answer comes from.
01
Built-in Qwen
An online service operated for WatchMuse, with its own access and usage limits. Separate from downloadable Qwen models.
02On-device AI
A supported, downloaded model runs on the current device. Downloading needs internet; local inference does not call a cloud AI service.
03Local AI on Mac
Your device sends the request to your paired Mac. A reachable network connection is still required.
04Your own API
Use your configured provider and model. Requests go to that service; its key, billing and usage rules apply.
05Custom Server
Use a compatible HTTPS endpoint. On Mac, no API key or model selection is required in this option; your server chooses the model. This is separate from Mac device access.
03 / FEATURES
More than chat.
Ask with a photo
Attach an image to your question. Image input depends on the AI service and model you select.
Conversation history
Pick up where you left off.
Weather and widgets
Weather and widgets on supported mobile and Watch versions. Not included on Mac. Availability depends on device, version and access.
iCloud backup
Mac can sync its chat archive with iCloud when enabled. Other devices need their chat backup enabled; this does not pair them for Mac AI.
Everyday stress references
Use available HRV and heart-rate records as an everyday reference, not a medical measurement or diagnosis. Mood and stress features are not included on Mac.
