On the Mac, it lives in the notch.
Pull down from the notch for system health, media, clipboard, timers and AI chat. Updates are signed, and where the Mac has a Secure Enclave, paid sessions are bound to that device.
See Apertura for macOSYour notch,
finally useful.
Apertura lives in the space around your display notch. One gesture pulls up system stats, AI chat, media controls, and automations, then disappears when you're done.
Opens with ⇧⌘I/Alt+Space, or pull down from the notch.

One product, two native apps
Built for the machine in front of you.
The same calm gesture on both platforms, with controls that belong to each one.
On Windows, it is a top-bar panel.
No notch required. The same gesture opens a compact panel built as a Windows app, with verified updates and no hardware serial numbers in the device fingerprint.

A calm surface for serious work.
Every interaction follows the same rhythm: see the signal, choose the next move, keep your focus. Nothing competes with the work underneath.

Features
What lives in your notch.
Apertura is a set of focused panels that appear when you need them and disappear when you don't.
01 / STATS IN NOTCH
System health at a glance.
CPU, memory, network, battery, and disk in one compact panel that lives in your notch. Pull down, check what matters, let go. No dashboard tab to leave open. Works natively on macOS and Windows.
02 / AI CHAT
Consent-first AI, when you ask for it.
Chat with a local or remote model from the notch. Screen capture is opt-in and requires your explicit consent every time. Nothing is captured, recorded, or sent until you type and send a message. No background recording, no hidden telemetry. Consent is not a setting; it's the only path.
03 / MEDIA CONTROLS
Now playing, without switching apps.
See what's playing, scrub, adjust volume, and move on. No need to find the right window. Works across macOS and Windows media sessions.
04 / BOUNDED AUTOMATIONS
Trigger actions from the notch.
- Quick actionsTimers, converters, clipboard search, and file tray
- Window arrangePick a zone, snap the window, keep working
- ShortcutsHook into macOS Shortcuts and Windows automation
- Script runnerRun your own scripts from a single gesture, bounded and sandboxed

Privacy
Local first, and clear about the exceptions.
Stats, media, clipboard, window arrange and quick actions stay on your device. AI chat sends data only when you submit a message, and screen context is captured only after explicit consent.
Mac + Windows
One release. Two native builds.
Each platform opens on its own installer. A download button appears only after that platform's installer is signed, tested on real machines, and verified with the production service. Until then, it shows "coming soon."

Questions
Honest answers before you install.
Why are downloads unavailable right now?
The previous test build was withdrawn. Downloads will open when the current Mac and Windows installers complete signing, notarization, installation testing, and production-service verification. This page shows the live status from the same release descriptor the apps use to verify updates.
Does Windows need a notch?
No. On Windows, Apertura uses a top-bar panel that appears with the same gesture. The interaction model is identical. The surface just adapts to the platform.
What data leaves my device?
Local features (stats, media, clipboard, window arrange, quick actions) stay local. AI chat sends data only when you explicitly submit a message. Screen context is captured only after explicit consent. Nothing is captured in the background.
How do updates work?
macOS and Windows each use a signed update channel. The app verifies every update before accepting it. The website links only to versions accepted by those channels.
Is the AI consent-first?
Yes. The AI chat panel does not capture screen content, audio, or input until you explicitly type and send a message. Screen capture is opt-in and requires your consent every time. There is no background recording, no automatic screenshot, and no hidden telemetry. Consent is the only path to the model.
What does "pre-release" mean?
The product is in final verification. The macOS and Windows builds exist but are not yet signed for public distribution. This page reflects the live release descriptor. When it flips, downloads open.
