Alpha coming soon · macOS
Volt closes the gap between agents and real productivity. It gives your agents an OS level framework to build, deploy and run AI powered apps and scripts. Everything is just a keystroke away.
Coming soon to macOS · Apple silicon
Volt is an AI native OS level runtime that lives in your menu bar. It turns plain TypeScript files into automations, scheduled tasks, hotkeys and instant interfaces. Each one a keystroke away. The Essentials scripts you reach for every day are already built. You can open, read, fork and shape them to exactly how you work. Nothing is a black box.
The extensions hub ships 20+ extensions already built for you. Install one or fork it into your own. And the library keeps growing every day.
Control tabs, read the page, and automate the web.
File issues and search your backlog from the launcher.
Jump to projects, run commands, and open files in a keystroke.
Search, install, and upgrade formulae without a terminal.
AI native
A built-in agent, native MCP, and prompts as first-class primitives running on your keys or ours. In Volt, AI isn't a chat window stapled to the side. It's wired into the same SDK and OS runtime your scripts already use.
purpose-built for the volt sdk
An agent built on purpose for Volt. It speaks all 180+ SDK calls, so it can drive your Mac and ship you new apps as readable TypeScript. Not a chatbot, an operator wired into the OS runtime.
drive volt from any agent
Volt exposes its own MCP server, so any agent can reach the whole SDK and run your scripts as tools. Use volt(0) — or bring your own.
hosted or bring your own
Use Volt's hosted AI out of the box or bring your own provider. Your keys, your spend, your data.
ai commands as .prompt files
Drop a .prompt file and it's a command same triggers, same launcher, same hotkeys as your scripts. AI building blocks you can version, fork and share.

Volt runs entirely on your Mac by default. Scripts execute locally, history lives in a local SQLite database, and secrets stay in the Keychain. Point AI at your own provider keys and drive Volt with your own agent over MCP, and nothing ever leaves your machine. A Volt account, hosted Volt AI and telemetry are each opt-in and ship off turn one on and only then does that one thing route through Volt.
Telemetry is opt-in at onboarding and every switch is reversible in Settings. Replace Volt AI with your provider and volt(0) with your agent at any time.
Volt is almost here. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the moment it ships.

Because Volt hands your scripts the whole Mac global shortcuts, window control, typing on your behalf, screenshot and file indexing. Each macOS permission unlocks one of those powers and none are mandatory. Skip any one and the only thing that breaks is the scripts that needed it. Everything else keeps working. You decide how much of the SDK to switch on.
Not for now. The alpha is built and tested on Apple silicon only. Intel support is planned for the general release until then we'd rather say so up front than let you download and find out.
#faq-intelNo. By default everything clipboard history, scripts, all of it stays in a local database on your Mac and never leaves. Two opt-ins can change that, and only if you turn them on: anonymous telemetry, and sync, which backups your scripts up to the cloud. Both ship off.
#faq-dataRaycast is a launcher you extend through its store and extension API. Volt is a scripting runtime: one TypeScript file in ~/.volt/scripts is the whole app trigger, logic and UI. They coexist happily. Volt covers the things a launcher can't, like cron jobs, file watchers and scripts that drive other apps.
Always. Hosted Volt AI is the zero-setup default, but bring your own and it takes over: keys live in your Keychain and ai.* calls go straight from your Mac to the provider you choose. Point it at a local endpoint Ollama, LM Studio and nothing leaves the machine at all.
Volt itself is free. You only pay for the hosted extras syncing and backing up your scripts, volt(0) (the built-in agent) and Volt AI. Run it with all three off and you’ll never see a bill.
