Atua

Atua is a Mac application designed to bring AI-powered assistance directly into any app on a user's Mac. By allowing users to select text, capture context, or use voice input, Atua enables interaction with AI without the need to switch between windows. The tool is aimed at creators and developers, offering a workflow that integrates AI commands seamlessly into their existing applications and tasks.

Users can create custom commands by writing prompts and incorporating live context from their Mac, such as selected text, screenshots, clipboard content, or voice transcripts. These commands can also connect with other tools when necessary, including integrations with Notion, MCP servers, GitHub, databases, Slack, and various APIs. Atua supports referencing built-in Mac system tools like Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Finder, Shortcuts, and Shell, allowing commands to read from and write to these native applications. Commands can be triggered via hotkeys, shortcuts, or voice, and can perform actions such as summarizing, translating, or polishing text, as well as chaining multiple operations together.

The application runs locally on the user's Mac and is designed with privacy in mind; it does not require user accounts or analytics, and data remains on the device except for necessary AI calls and updates. Users are able to bring their own API key from any supported AI provider, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI, Perplexity, Together AI, Fireworks, Cerebras, DeepInfra, Hugging Face, Cohere, OpenRouter, LLM Gateway, Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible service. This flexibility ensures that users are not locked into a single AI provider or model.

Atua is offered as a one-time purchase with a 7-day money-back guarantee. The tool emphasizes ease of use, privacy, and integration with both Mac system tools and external services, making it a versatile solution for users seeking to enhance productivity through AI within their existing workflows.
