Field notes.
Sourced launcher comparisons, local-AI setup guides, and notes from building Vehla. Every comparison is dated and names where other tools are better.
Sourced launcher comparisons, local-AI setup guides, and notes from building Vehla. Every comparison is dated and names where other tools are better.
Comparisons, setup guides, and the reasoning behind the decisions in the app. We publish the numbers we checked and the date we checked them, and we say where other tools are better.
Vehla ships 173 commands. A one-week log says eleven of them account for almost everything, half are not AI, and the right move is to hide the rest.
Three surfaces that act on text without opening a chat window. They look interchangeable in a feature list and are not. Which to use when, plus the permissions each one needs.
Alfred's workflow ecosystem is the deepest automation layer on macOS and nothing we ship replaces it. What Vehla changes is what happens before you need a workflow at all.
"Runs locally" is doing a lot of work in most marketing copy, including ours. A precise account of which actions never touch a network, which always do, and why vision is the exception.
The queries that work, the four kinds that don't, why citations are the actual feature, and why enabling more sources usually makes answers worse.
Every route Vehla can take to a language model, what each one needs from you, and which one to pick for a work laptop that has to pass a privacy review.
Vehla started as a personal tool. Bundling fourteen utilities into one app is the obvious move and also how most bundles get worse than the things they replaced. What we do to avoid that.
Every comparison names the date we checked each competitor's public pricing and feature list, links to the source, and includes a section on where the other tool is the better choice. If you find something wrong, tell us and we will correct the post and note the change.
