One of the standout features of Gerty is its ability to function offline, eliminating the need for an internet connection for most tasks. This includes chatting, managing documents, and using voice commands. The AI can answer questions by analyzing documents, including scans and photos, and it can modify PDFs while preserving their layout. Additionally, Gerty integrates seamlessly with native Mac applications such as Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Notes, and Safari.
Gerty also offers a voice assistant feature that operates from the Mac's notch, supporting local neural voices in 31 languages. This allows users to interact with their Mac using voice commands, enhancing accessibility and convenience. Furthermore, Gerty provides a local API compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic, enabling developers to integrate AI capabilities into their coding tools.
The pricing model for Gerty is straightforward, with a one-time purchase fee of CHF 49. This includes a lifetime license with free updates, allowing users to install Gerty on up to three Macs simultaneously. A free 7-day trial is available, and users have a 14-day refund window after purchase.
Gerty is ideal for users who prioritize privacy and wish to keep their data secure on their own devices. It is particularly suitable for professionals handling confidential information, as it eliminates the risk of data being transferred to third-party servers. The tool is compatible with Macs running macOS 26 or newer and requires Apple silicon (M1 or later) to operate.
