Highlight, hit a key, get a rewrite.
Vehla works on top of whatever you're in — Mail, Slack, Notion, VS Code, Figma comments. Open the palette with your shortcut, then use the current clipboard, pasted text, or selected text as input.

Bring your own brain. Or six.

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.

Questions before you download.
What is Vehla, in one sentence?+
Vehla is a macOS menu bar app that puts a universal AI command palette behind a global hotkey, so you can rewrite, summarize, translate, code, and compose inside any app you're already using.
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 mix and match — local for sensitive content, cloud for everything else.
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, $29.99, 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.
