Nabu for Mac

Desktop AI agent — real work on your files, with every step visible and one-click undo.

$199.00
In English
Version 1.7.2

Nabu overview

Nabu is a desktop AI agent that does real work on your computer instead of just chatting about it. It reads and organizes files, extracts data from PDFs and scans, works with Word and Excel documents, researches on the live web with sources, and connects to Google Drive, Notion, Linear, Asana, and Jira.

What makes it different is trust: a live log shows every action as it happens, risky steps stop at an approval gate, and Nabu snapshots before each change — so anything it does can be undone in one click.

It is model-agnostic: bring your own API key (OpenAI, Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible provider), subscribe to have twelve models included, or download a local model from the built-in Model Hub and work fully offline. The whole app is free; paid plans add voice control and included models. Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized by Apple.

What's new in version 1.7.2

Four small things, all the same complaint: Nabu was not showing you what you are using or what you are paying for.

  • How much of your allowance is left is now next to the chat. On a plan where the models are included there was nothing on screen about it — the spend counter is only for people using their own API key — so "you've reached your limit" arrived with no warning on the way. There is now a quiet Max · 34% where that counter sits, which turns amber and then red as the allowance goes. Clicking it opens your plan.
  • Let Nabu pick the model is a button now. It was a line inside the model menu, so you only found it if you opened the list and read to the end. It sits next to the model name as an "Auto" switch; while it is on, the model button names whichever model answered last, and choosing a model from the list pins that one and switches Auto off.
  • The plan table compares all four plans. It used to be Free against Pro, with the three paid plans folded into one column — so someone on Pro had nothing telling them what Max adds. Free · Pro · Pro+ · Max, the rows where they actually differ first, and the column you are on is marked.
  • Your plan badge said someone else's plan. Everyone paying saw "Pro · Supporter" in Settings — the name of one particular plan, shown to all of them. On Max it sat directly above a line reading "Max · Monthly", which is a strange thing to read about your own account.
