Local AI; Computer use; Personal context
Sentient OS is a Mac-focused project that combines an on-device language model with a local knowledge base and computer-use assistance. The official site describes organizing context in ordinary Markdown files and folders on the Mac, then using that context to suggest or carry out work. Its presentation emphasizes proactive assistance rather than a chat window that starts without background information. The project is described as free and open source. Statements about local processing are the publisher's description of the design, not an independent audit of all possible integrations or configurations. The reviewed public material does not establish a complete supported-task list or precise hardware requirements.

The practical workflow centers on local knowledge base, on-device language model, markdown and folder storage, proactive computer-use assistance.
