Built for the way you actually use your Mac.
A menu-bar app, a global hotkey, and a floating bubble. Three doors into the same fast palette for native Mac commands, Brew packages, Shortcuts, custom AI actions, web shortcuts, workflows, and AI. No browser tab. No copy-paste loop. No model lock-in.
Hit a key, run your Mac.
Vehla works on top of whatever you're in — Mail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, Figma comments. Open the palette with your shortcut, then launch apps, find files, search clipboard history, run commands, or use the current clipboard, pasted text, or selected text as AI input.
Everyday Mac tasks, one prompt away.
An orb you can summon.
Optional. Draggable.
Run Gemma 4 & MLX entirely on your Mac.
Sensitive draft? Flip to local. Need vision or stronger cloud models? Switch from the palette footer. You can also relocate downloaded model files from Settings.

Local for what's yours. Cloud for everything else.
Vehla doesn't run a server. Cloud requests go straight from your Mac to the provider you chose, using a key stored in macOS Keychain. Local mode keeps everything on-device.
Local AI
On-deviceGemma 4 models run natively on Apple Silicon. In Local AI mode, inference stays on the device — the right path for code, contracts, journals, and anything you wouldn't email to a stranger. Model files can be relocated from Settings if you prefer a different storage volume.

Questions before you download.
What is Vehla, in one sentence?+
Vehla is a native Mac command center with AI built in, so you can launch apps, search files, browse clipboard history, run Shortcuts, manage Homebrew packages, move windows, build workflows, and use local or cloud AI from one keyboard-driven palette.
Does Vehla work offline?+
Yes. Local AI mode runs Gemma 4 (E2B and E4B) and MLX models entirely on your Mac. With local mode enabled, no text leaves your device. You can relocate local model files from Settings and switch between local and cloud models from the palette.
Which providers does Vehla support?+
Cloud: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and Ollama. Local: Gemma 4 (E2B and E4B variants, 4-bit) and any MLX-compatible model. API keys are stored in macOS Keychain — never on a server.
How does the 7-day trial work?+
Install Vehla, enter your email, and the trial starts. No credit card. After 7 days you can buy a lifetime license to keep using the app.
What's the licensing model?+
One lifetime license, currently $20.99 for 30% off the regular $29.99 price, activates on up to two Macs. Free updates for life. Need a third Mac? Deactivate one in Settings and the slot becomes available immediately.
What macOS versions are supported?+
macOS 14.6 Sonoma and macOS 15 Sequoia on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 / M5).
How does Vehla update itself?+
Vehla periodically checks an HTTPS update.json manifest, downloads the new DMG, verifies its SHA-256 hash before installing, then relaunches.
Is my data private?
Vehla doesn't run a server and doesn't log prompts or outputs. Cloud requests go directly from your Mac to the provider you chose. Local mode never touches the network.
Can I refund?
Yes. If Vehla doesn't work for you within 7 days of purchase, email kailaconsulting@outlook.com and we'll refund you, no questions asked.
