Alter

Alter is a native Mac assistant built around the context of the user's current work. The public demonstrations describe voice instructions, interaction with applications and browser content, and inserting generated responses into the active workflow. Meeting features include recording, summaries, and asking questions about captured content. Users can also create custom actions and connect automation services. The website explains options for connecting personal AI providers or local models through tools such as Ollama and LM Studio. These options matter because model selection affects processing location, availability, and costs. The homepage advertises a trial followed by either a paid plan or continued use with a user's own providers. Its minimum operating-system descriptions differ between the download section and FAQ, so users should check the current installer requirements rather than rely on a version stated here. Review screen, microphone, application, and meeting permissions before setup. This review inspected public documentation and demonstrations without installing Alter or recording a conversation.
