What is Pantaray?

Ask Pantaray to do a task, or get a suggestion for what to do next.

Pantaray helps you get work done. You can use it in two ways:

• It does what you ask. Write what you want done and it gets to work: opening files, changing them, running commands, searching the web.
• It suggests before you ask. Using your day-to-day work as context, it finds useful next steps and says so. Accept, and it does the work.

What you need

Pantaray runs on macOS, on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later). The app itself is free and open source; what you may pay for is the AI you connect it to. Pick one in Settings → AI connection:

Neither needs registration with us. See Connect to an AI.

What you decide

• Every file change and every command stops and shows you what it wants to do. You can let a conversation run without asking. See Approve or deny what Pantaray wants to do.
• Edits and commands happen inside the folders you register in Workspace. See Choose which folders Pantaray can use.
• Recording can be switched off at any time, or narrowed to the apps and sites you choose. See Stop recording, or limit what is recorded.

What is recorded

With your permission, Pantaray records the apps you use, the titles of your windows, the text on screen, and what you type. The recording is an encrypted file on this Mac and is deleted after 48 hours. Password managers, and sign-in and payment pages, are never recorded.

The recording file stays on this Mac. The parts needed for suggestions and Actions are sent to the AI you chose. For the full picture, see What Pantaray records, and where it is kept.
