hunch connects conversations, memory and work on your own computer. Keep thoughts and tasks in Brain. Choose the provider and model for your conversation. Planning mode, goals and approvals are accessible directly in chat. Connect a compatible Hunch runtime to follow work, review decisions and open the terminal when needed. On supported devices running iOS 26 or later, Apple On-Device enables local text chat when Apple Intelligence is available. Other models and voice features require your own supported provider access or a compatible configured endpoint. Available voices and capabilities depend on the selected provider. Computer actions and cross-device synchronization require a reachable, authorized connection to a compatible runtime. You control provider access and the personal data you share; external services process the content you authorize for them. Separate provider terms and charges may apply. Today shows your day from tasks, approvals, threads and actions once a computer is connected. Health (experimental) reads sleep, heart and activity data from Apple Health (HealthKit) with your permission and sends it only to your own connected computer. The values are not a medical diagnosis.
