ShogunAI is a private AI memory assistant for Mac that connects work context across email, meetings, documents, and calendars. It keeps memory stored in an encrypted database on your PC, sending only specific context to AI services when requested. Users can interact via typing, talking to the notch, or using the right Option key in any app to continue writing. The app takes meeting notes, handles visual recall through encrypted screenshots, and prepares daily schedules and priorities. It requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
