Terminal power.
Life management built in.

Colette brings Claude CLI into a native Apple experience across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Watch — with Xcode MCP integration, voice I/O, hosted Mac workspaces, and real-time sync across every device.

Real Terminal, Real Power

Run git, npm, scripts, file ops — anything your CLI can do. Colette executes commands on your behalf with your approval. No sandboxed chat window.

Tracks Your Priorities

Not just a command line — a command center. Colette knows what's urgent, what's slipping, and what you said you'd do last Tuesday.

Context That Persists

Remembers your projects, decisions, and patterns across sessions. No re-explaining your codebase every morning. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Proactive, Not Passive

Surfaces what needs attention before you ask. Overdue tasks, neglected projects, upcoming deadlines — Colette keeps you honest.

Native on Every Device

No Electron. No web views. Pure native across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Real-time sync keeps every device in lockstep. Start on Mac, check from iPad, approve from your wrist.

Voice & Text

Talk to Colette or type. ElevenLabs voices, Deepgram transcription, Apple Speech fallback. Full voice conversations from your Mac or Watch.

Up and running in sixty seconds.

Install Claude CLI. Colette handles the rest.

1

Install Claude CLI

Install Anthropic's Claude CLI and sign in. Colette uses it directly — no middleman, no proxy, no account on our servers.

2

Connect project folders. Colette learns your structure, tracks priorities, and builds context that carries across sessions.

3

Talk, type, ship

Use voice or text. Give instructions, ask questions, think out loud. Colette executes — you approve. Nothing happens without your say-so.

What you need to get started

Claude CLI Required

Claude CLI is Anthropic's command-line tool that runs AI directly on your Mac. Colette uses it as the engine — no API keys, no token management. Just sign in with your Anthropic account.

Anthropic plans (not our pricing — this is what you pay Anthropic):
Free
Limited usage. Good for trying things out.
Pro — $20/mo Recommended
Higher limits. Best for daily use with Colette.

Colette Free forever

Colette itself costs nothing. No subscription, no per-seat pricing, no usage fees. The app is free. You only pay Anthropic for Claude CLI access.

ElevenLabs Optional — for voice

Want to talk to Colette? Add an ElevenLabs API key for premium AI voices. Apple Speech works as a free fallback, but ElevenLabs sounds significantly better. Free tier available.

Transparent about
where your data goes.

Colette adds no servers and collects no data. But when you use Claude, your conversations go to Anthropic — and you should know exactly what that means.

We Have No Servers

Colette stores project files, priorities, and context on your Mac. We don't run servers, collect telemetry, or see your data. There's nothing to breach on our end because we don't have anything.

End-to-End Encryption

All API communication encrypted with TLS 1.3. Sensitive data stored in macOS Keychain. Industry-standard security at every layer.

Apple Notarized

Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Gatekeeper verified. No unsigned binaries, no trust prompts.

You Approve Everything

Colette never runs a command without your approval. Every action is visible, reviewable, and revocable. Your machine, your rules.

What Anthropic Sees

When you chat through Claude CLI, your full conversation is sent to Anthropic's servers — including any code, personal details, or sensitive information you share. Anthropic logs this data under their privacy policy. Colette cannot change this. We want you to make informed decisions about what you share.

What Colette Controls

Colette talks directly to Claude CLI on your machine. No proxy servers, no data relay, no accounts on our end. Your project files, priorities, and local context never leave your Mac. We literally cannot see your conversations — only Anthropic can.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Colette?

Colette is a native Mac app built on Anthropic's Claude CLI. Think of it as a supercharged terminal that understands natural language, executes CLI commands with your approval, and adds a work/life management layer on top — priority tracking, proactive reminders, persistent context across sessions, Apple Watch notifications, and more. It's what the terminal would be if it knew your whole life. Colette is an independent product and is not made by or affiliated with Anthropic.

How is this different from Claude Code or ChatGPT?

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI tool — powerful, but lives in your terminal with no GUI and no persistent life management. ChatGPT is a web chat that can't touch your file system. Colette is an independent native Mac app built on Claude CLI with a persistent layer that tracks your priorities, projects, and deadlines across sessions. Same CLI power, native Mac experience.

What happens to my data?

Your project files and settings stay on your Mac. We have no servers and collect no data.

When you use Claude CLI through Colette, conversation context is handled by the CLI and sent to Anthropic — subject to Anthropic's privacy policy. Colette adds a management layer on top but never proxies or intercepts your CLI traffic.

We cannot see your conversations or your files. By design.

What platforms does Colette support?

Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. The Mac app is the full command center. iPad runs a real-time synced view of all your projects — same interface, same data. iPhone and Watch give you quick access, approvals, and notifications on the go.

How much does it cost?

The Mac app is free. You install Claude CLI separately and pay Anthropic directly for your usage — Colette adds no markup. Mobile companion apps will have a small one-time purchase price.

Is Colette affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Colette is an independent product built on Anthropic's public API. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC.
