Hansel
Records your computer work trail so you can retrieve work details and sources in natural language
About Hansel
Hansel turns the windows and tabs you viewed and the meetings you joined into readable daily records, helping you review what you accomplished this week and retrieve the tabs, meetings, or specific details you need. You can ask questions in your own words, and Hansel answers based on what was actually open at the time, showing the tabs, files, and pages it drew on. Data is encrypted locally on your Mac; no activity data, chats, screenshots, or audio recordings are stored or logged on servers, and AI processing uses model providers with a zero-data-retention policy.
