What it does

Mermaid is an AI agent for your Mac. Text it from your iPhone and it does the work, wherever you are. Watch it live and approve before anything is sent.

You ask Mermaid on your iPhone to create a short note called Weekends plans with a packing list. Your Mac opens Notes and writes it, and your iPhone shows it's done. Mermaid uses the apps already on your Mac, like Safari, Chrome, Notes, Mail, Messages, VS Code, WhatsApp, Finder and Claude. One AI agent for your whole Mac. You ask from your iPhone, and Mermaid does the work on your Mac in your own apps, checks the result, and shows you when it’s done. It isn’t remote desktop: when you want to work yourself, Live Screen and Take Over are there. An iPhone with iOS 17 or later, a Mac with Apple silicon or Intel and macOS 14 or later, and Mermaid on both, signed in to the same account. Only to…from addmermaid.com
