Instant access from anywhere on your Mac

Summon Town with a single shortcut. Ask for what you need and get back to work.

  • Works from any app: one shortcut, you're in.
  • Lightweight Spotlight-style input that stays out of your way.
  • Town appears when you need it and disappears when you don't.

iMessage access

Your assistant can read your iMessages, so you can search conversations, recover details, and pull context from your texts.

  • Ask your assistant questions like "what did she say about dinner?"
  • Pull context from your texts without scrolling through threads.
  • Gated behind explicit permission — you stay in control.

Your contacts, built in

Town reads your macOS and iCloud contacts, so your assistant knows who is who and can help you find the right person fast.

  • Match names and phone numbers across your messages and contacts.
  • Richer context for every conversation, automatically.
  • One-time permission approval on your Mac.

Talk, don't type

Record voice memos and talk to your assistant naturally — speech-to-text runs entirely on device.

  • Capture audio without leaving Town.
  • On-device transcription. Fast and private.
  • Keep moving hands-free when typing isn't convenient.

Native notifications and approvals

macOS notifications, dock badges, and fast approvals — without opening the full app.

  • Workflow alerts and approval requests appear in Notification Center.
  • Dock badge shows pending approvals so nothing slips.
  • Approve with a click — no full session required.

Drag and drop any file

Drop files from Finder into a Town session. Your assistant takes it from there. Works on desktop and web.

  • Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, PDF, markdown, HTML, and more.
  • Google file types too: .gdoc, .gsheet, and others.
  • Your assistant processes the file and you grab the result when it's ready.
