Proto-Mind

VIRENCORE

Free

A native macOS floating workspace that keeps AI conversations, project memory, files and live voice together on your Mac.

Key features

  • Floating Cube Workspace: Hover the cube to reveal the workspace and click to pin it, or move away to hide it while tasks keep running in the background.
  • Per-Conversation Model Routing: Each chat picks its own model and account — ChatGPT with Codex access, supported model APIs, or a local Ollama model.
  • Editable Project Memory: Notes, decisions and preferences stay attached to a project and carry into later conversations, and you can review, change or remove any of them.
  • Live Voice Control: Speak to open a project, steer a running task or send new work, and add a correction while the task is still going.
  • Detachable Companion Windows: Pull out and resize a browser, a file or a second conversation so reference material sits beside the work.
  • Explicit Mac Access: Codex can work with files and run commands only after you turn Mac access on; screen control additionally requires Codex Desktop's signed Computer Use helper.
  • Local Data Storage: Conversation history and saved memory live on your Mac, and cloud processing happens only when you choose a cloud model or voice.
  • Open Source Beta: The macOS installer and the Apache 2.0 source are both published, so the workspace can be inspected and built from source.

Best for

  • Long-Running Project Work: Keep a website or client project's decisions in project memory so each session resumes instead of re-explaining the brief.
  • Brief to Deliverable: Have the agent read a client brief and save a proposal document, then open it in a companion window next to the conversation.
  • Parallel Task Execution: Start several tasks across different models at once and check back on them without blocking the conversation you are in.
  • Hands-Free Steering: Dictate a correction or open a project by voice while your hands are busy elsewhere on the Mac.
  • Privacy-Sensitive Drafting: Run a local Ollama model so conversation content never leaves the machine.
  • Model Comparison: Put the same question to a Codex route and a local model in adjacent windows to compare the answers side by side.
