Install
ProofPilot Founding Release installs as a signed Mac utility.
ProofPilot lives in your Applications folder and runs from the menu bar. Version 1.5.22 is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple for direct Mac distribution.
Current release status
Current Version 1 build target for the Founding Release.
Apple accepted the release, and Gatekeeper recognizes it as a notarized Developer ID installer.
ProofPilot uses llama3.1:8b as its default model for stronger corrections and Formal mode.
What the installer sets up
- The ProofPilot app bundle in Applications.
- A menu bar utility for settings, diagnostics, and mode toggles.
- The Command + Shift + K selected-text service.
- A login item so the menu bar utility is available after restart.
Recommended local AI setup
Standard ProofPilot uses about 38 MB installed. It works without Ollama, but the recommended setup adds stronger contextual correction and powers Formal mode. The default model is llama3.1:8b, the same configuration used to develop and test ProofPilot V1. Ollama plus this model uses about 5.5 GB total.
- Turn on Local Ollama from the ProofPilot menu bar.
- If Ollama is missing, choose Get Ollama and install it normally.
- Return to ProofPilot and choose Download Model for the 4.9 GB llama3.1:8b download.
- When ProofPilot says local AI is ready, use the shortcut as usual.
No Terminal commands or cloud account are required.
After install
- Select text in a Mac app that supports Services.
- Press Command + Shift + K.
- Review the replacement and use Undo in the writing app if needed.
- Open ProofPilot from the menu bar to check Ollama, Formal mode, and diagnostics.
