The Matrix

  • Private Mac edition

Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later

Keep a clear view of what is happening, what is finished and what still needs attention. The Matrix brings local work records and workflow guides into one Mac companion.

What you can do

See the work in progress

Browse active tasks, recent updates, completed steps and remaining work. Older updates are marked so you can distinguish a saved report from current activity.

Find a useful workflow

Search your installed guides for writing, research, software and other work. Check which local resources are ready and which need a service or further setup.

Prepare the next request

Describe a task, optionally choose a file, and prepare a request for an assistant. Review the selected destination before starting; each service needs its own setup and permissions.

Follow the evidence

Open the records behind a task’s checks. Reported completion and verified results remain distinct, with source changes and missing information made visible.

Data and privacy

  • Stays on your device: Local work records, guide indexes, preferences and saved request logs.
  • Leaves your device: A request goes to the assistant service you select when you choose to send or start it.
  • Never collected: No Gathered Commons account is required. The work overview does not require sending your records to Gathered Commons.

Local overview, optional assistants

The work overview and guide matching run locally. Choosing an online assistant can send the request text and included file details to that service. Local model use needs a separately installed model and compatible service; The Matrix does not include an AI model.

Current availability

The Matrix 0.6.2 is a private Mac edition for Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later. Public downloads and a release date have not been announced.
