Helmy is an assistant on your Mac. You tell it what you want done, and it does it: in your folders, in your accounts, on a page in its browser, on a phone simulator, or on a design canvas beside the chat.
It does the work through AI tools you already have: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and, on this Mac, Ollama. Helmy calls them connections. You add them once, and after that you only talk to Helmy: for each message it picks the connection that can do what you asked and has the most of its usage limit left.
What makes it different#
- It chooses for you. No model pickers, no effort dials. Helmy decides which connection answers, and moves a thread to another when one runs low.
- It asks only what matters. Agents' actions are judged by Helmy against what you asked for. You are asked only about what can't be undone or leaves your Mac. See Approvals.
- Secrets stay out of the AI's sight. API keys live in a vault in your Keychain; agents use them by name. See The vault.
- Everything beside the chat. A browser, a terminal, files, changes, a device, a design canvas, each in a tab next to the conversation, or in a window of its own.
- Your phone comes along. Pair it once and your chats follow you. See Your phone.
