Nativ is a native macOS workspace for running AI models locally on Apple silicon. It combines private chat, model management, image generation, voice tools, monitoring, and local inference serving in one SwiftUI application. The app discovers compatible MLX models in the Hugging Face cache and can download additional models with memory-fit warnings. Conversations support streaming responses, images, reasoning output, persistent history, and performance metrics. Nativ exposes OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs so local models can power editors, coding agents, and other software. It also provides system monitoring, scheduled routines, MCP tools, advanced inference controls, and an extension platform for additional local capabilities.
