Couldn't stop myself from wiring up the on-device Apple Intelligence model with tool-calling.

It gets confused quickly as context grows and I don't expect this to land in the App Store version anytime soon, but it does sort of work - with all the usual caveats of LLM unreliability.

Try it out in the current Working Copy beta:

The last few versions have added significant improvements:

Pro users can show the terminal as Live Activity on the lock screen or in Dynamic Island.

Commands to post notifications and update widgets support end-to-end encrypted image attachments.

ShellFish now supports post-quantum key-exchange algorithms, short-lived SSH certificates & Tailscale-aware networking.

As always, there is first-class tmux support and reasonable pricing. https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1336634154?pt=15897&ct=mastodon&mt=8
