Questions about Wakel

Wakel (وكيل) is an AI agent app for Mac. You connect an AI you already use, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or a free local model, and Wakel uses it to do real work on your computer: it opens your apps and files, works inside them, and asks before anything sensitive. It costs $25 once, with a 30-day free trial.

ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are AI models and chat apps: they answer and write. Wakel is the agent on your Mac that lets those models act. It opens Photoshop, Keynote, Finder, Mail or its own Chrome, carries out the steps and brings back the result. You keep your AI subscription; Wakel adds the hands. See the full comparison.

Your files, chats and the agent’s memory stay on your Mac. We run no servers that see your work, and the app has no analytics. When you use a cloud model, the text of the task and what the agent reads for it go to that AI provider under your own account. With a local model, nothing leaves your Mac. Privacy policy.
