HOB Desk

A macOS companion that stays out of the way until it is asked for something.

A native macOS companion that lives in the notch area of the display. Character led rather than assistant led, and ambient rather than intrusive: it stays out of the way until it is asked for something. In build.

How it is run

Desk is judged on how rarely it interrupts. A companion that needs attention to justify itself is a liability on a working machine.

  • Build — Native, quiet, and small enough to forget about.
  • Privacy — Local first. Nothing is sent that does not have to be.
  • Release — Ships when it runs for a week without being noticed.
