Questions, answered.

What is VortexPoint?

A free Mac app that turns the notch into an island: music, weather, your calendar and to-dos, quick tools, clipboard history and an assistant you can type or talk to. When a task needs the screen, its AI agent can use your Mac for you.

Is it really free?

Yes. The AI parts use your own Claude API key, billed by Anthropic. VortexPoint Plus, with premium skins for €9 once, is optional and coming soon.

Why a Claude key, and what does it cost?

Answers and voice notes use Claude Haiku, well under a cent each. Agent tasks use more, and each one stops at the spending limit you set in Settings. Simple phrases like "memorie" or "volum 40" are handled on your Mac at no cost.

What leaves my Mac?

Only what a request needs, sent to Anthropic under your key: your request, the Mac figures or calendar titles it asked for, and screenshots while the agent runs. Clipboard history, files and audio stay on your Mac. We receive nothing. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Which permissions does it ask for, and why?

Accessibility and Screen Recording for the agent and the quick tools, Microphone and Speech for voice, Calendars and Reminders for Plan, Location for the weather (optional), and Automation for Notes, Music and your browsers. Each is asked the first time you use that feature.

Does it work without a notch?

Yes. On displays without a notch it draws the island at the top of the screen.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 26 or later, on Apple Silicon.

Why does macOS ask me to "Open Anyway"?

VortexPoint is distributed outside the App Store, so macOS asks you to confirm once. Here's how:

  1. Download VortexPoint.dmg and open it.
  2. Drag VortexPoint onto Applications.
  3. Open it. The first time, macOS stops it: choose Done, not Move to Trash.
  4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security and click Open Anyway.
How do updates work?

VortexPoint checks for new versions by itself and tells you in the notch. One click installs.

How do I uninstall it?

Right-click the notch and choose Quit VortexPoint, then drag VortexPoint to the Trash. To leave nothing behind, also delete ~/Library/Application Support/VortexPoint, the VortexPoint item in Keychain Access, and ~/Library/Preferences/com.dandeamihai.VortexPoint.plist.
