Eighty-four charms
Six shelves, eighty-four charms — pick the one that's yours.
Every charm is original 3D art with its own story, its own right-click ritual, and its own signature motion in the app — bells swing, the Daruma wobbles, the dreamcatcher turns in the breeze, and Ace walks. One of them is whoever you put in it. Each one was rendered from the real tradition — the seven chilies and the lemon, the painted eyes, the woven web — and even the words on this page make room for them, the way a desk makes room for a charm. Click one — read its story here, see it hang in the playground above.

Two of them are alive
A dragon that hatches. A bonsai that flowers. Both of them grow.
Not a meter that fills — a different tree. Six carved stages from seed to blossom, five from egg to dragon, and every one of them is its own piece of art. They ask for you about twice a day, in the quietest way an app can: the charm on your screen droops, and the colour goes out of it. They never die, never run away and never scold you. Miss a week and growth simply pauses — neglect costs time, not the creature. This is the real thing below, running in your browser.
Seed
just planted · stage 1 of 6
It grows on the days you tend it. Miss one and it waits — nothing is lost, and nothing is ever taken away.
Make it yours
Or hang the face you actually want to see.
Seventeen charms is a lot of charms. None of them is your dog.
Drop in a photo and Charmling sets it into a solid gold locket that hangs on the same cord, swings on the same physics, and lives under your menu bar all day. Your daughter. Your cat. The one who is very much a good boy.
- It finds the subject for you. Your Mac lifts the face or the pet cleanly off whatever sofa, street or sunset was behind them.
- Then you nudge it. Drag to move, scroll to zoom, and keep the background if you'd rather. It's your locket.
- It stays on your Mac. The photo is copied into Charmling's own folder and framed there. Nothing is uploaded, ever — same promise as everything else here.
- It's in the menu bar too. The locket becomes your menu bar icon, at locket size.
The agent underneath
It doesn't just answer. It does.
⌘-click the charm and a small panel drops down. The AI is free and runs on your Mac — Apple's own on-device model. No account. No API key. No cloud.
All of this is optional. Every AI feature ships switched off, and Charmling is a complete app without any of them — the charm, the physics, the rituals, Wander Mode, the focus timer and the basket all work on their own and never read your screen. Turn the AI on if you want it, turn it off whenever, and it stops the same second.
And it's early. A model small enough to run on your own Mac is a model with limits: it writes a good first draft and it will sometimes miss the point of an hour. Treat every recap, standup and timesheet as a draft to read before you send it. This part of Charmling is the part we're improving hardest, and it gets better with every release — the on-device models are improving quickly too, and Charmling picks that up for free.
🧠 Day Memory
Your Mac finally remembers your day — privately. Every 4 minutes: read the screen in memory, keep only the text, erase within 48 hours. Then just ask.
💼 Professionals: a paste-ready standup, an honest timesheet — personal browsing left out.
🎓 Students: Quiz Me on today's topics, a sprint quiz when the timer ends, a study log with focused hours.
Every one of these is a draft written from what was actually on your screen — it names the real files and tickets it saw, tells you which hours it couldn't read, and says "nothing found" rather than filling a gap. Read it before you send it. Needs Apple Intelligence: Apple silicon, macOS 26+.
🛠 Agent Actions
"Remind me to call Sam tomorrow 9am" becomes a real Reminder. Every action asks first — you're always the final word.
🎯 Looks out for you
Meeting Radar preps you 5 minutes before events. Focus Guardian notices you drifting mid-focus. Sprint Quiz tests exactly what you just studied.
🧰 The toolbelt
Slingshot screenshots. A woven file basket hanging off the charm. A focus timer whose cord winds shorter as the minutes go.
🟢 Never "away" again
Stay Active keeps you green on Teams and Slack while you read something on paper, think, or take a call — no more explaining that you were at your desk the whole time. ☕ Stay Awake holds your Mac open through a long render, download or install, and fireflies drift around the charm the whole time it's holding the lights on. Both are one click on, one click off.
📋 Small kindnesses
Copy a long article — the charm offers to summarize it. Copy another language — it offers to translate. Stretch reminders every 45 minutes. One ⌘-click each.
Privacy is the product
Your memory shouldn't have a landlord.
No accounts, no telemetry. The AI runs on your Mac, full stop — it makes exactly three kinds of network request and no others: an optional once-a-day update check, activating your licence when you enter it, and re-checking that licence about once a week so a refunded key stops working. Those carry your licence key and a random install id — never your name, your files or anything from your screen. Passwords are never read. Password managers — 1Password, Bitwarden, Keychain Access and the rest — are skipped entirely: no screenshot is taken of them at all. Everywhere else, any line that names a password, passphrase, recovery code or API key is dropped before it is stored, and anything shaped like a key, token, card number or masked ••••••• field is replaced with [redacted]. Known adult sites are blocked from memory by the same always-on filter. Neither is a setting you can get wrong. And it's your memory: read every word it remembers, see the actual file on disk, or erase it all — one click each, never paywalled. When you want zero eyes at all, 🔕 Private Mode pauses every capture instantly. Day Memory's whole pipeline:
In motion
Thirty seconds. No words needed.
A good houseguest
Native, weightless, and out of your way.
One tiny native app that lives where the Mac keeps its quiet things — and disappears the moment you're busy.
Clicks land on whatever's underneath — even right behind the cord. Only the charm itself is solid.
- 🫥 Invisible everywhere else. No Dock icon, no window, no ⌘-tab entry. It launches, hangs, done.
- 📍 Hang it anywhere. ⌥-drag to any edge or corner. It remembers.
- 🎛 The charm is the menu. ⌃-click: menu · ⌘-click: assistant · right-click: ritual.
- 🔓 Say no and it still works. Every permission is optional, explained in plain language before macOS asks. Decline all of them and the charm, the physics and the timer carry on.
Wander mode
"Snip the cord, and Ace walks."
Ace hangs from your menu bar like any charm — until you snip the cord. Then he drops to the desktop and patrols it with a true 8-frame walk: wandering, pausing, turning at the screen edge, tumbling when thrown. Tie the cord back and the elastic reels him home.
Try it → snip the cord on the little Mac.

Questions, answered
Why one price and no subscription?
Because there's nothing to subscribe to. The AI is Apple's on-device model — a free engine already on your own Mac. No servers, no API bills, no monthly anything. $12.99$5.19 buys the app outright — every update included, nothing recurring.
Does it upload my screen anywhere?
Never. Day Memory's captures exist only in memory, are reduced to text on-device, and the text log self-erases within 48 hours. The app's only network requests are an optional once-a-day update check, activating your licence when you enter it, and a weekly re-check of that licence — nothing else, ever. None of them carry anything from your screen.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Every AI feature is off out of the box and Charmling is a whole app without them — the charm, its physics and rituals, Wander Mode, the focus timer and the basket never read your screen and never ask a model anything. Switch the AI on if it appeals; switch it off and capture stops immediately. 🔕 Private Mode is a single toggle that silences every capture at once. And be a little sceptical of what it writes: a model small enough to live on your Mac produces a solid first draft, not a finished one — read a timesheet before you hand it in. It's the part of the app improving fastest.
Could it capture my passwords?
No, and it's built so it can't. Password managers are never read at all — 1Password, Bitwarden, Keychain Access and the rest are skipped before a screenshot is even taken. Everywhere else, any line naming a password, passphrase, recovery code, API key or card number is dropped before anything is written down, and anything shaped like a secret — an API token, a private key, a long random string, a masked ••••••• field — is replaced with [redacted]. A window whose own title gives it away, like prod.env, isn't recorded either. All of it happens on your Mac, before storage, with nothing to switch on.
What does it need to run?
The charm itself — physics, rituals, Wander Mode, the timer, the basket — runs on macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon or Intel. The AI features (Day Memory, recaps, standups, timesheets, quizzes, Meeting Radar) need Apple Intelligence, which means an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 26 or later with it switched on in System Settings. Screen-reading features additionally need macOS 14+.
What permissions does it ask for?
All optional, all explained in plain language before macOS asks: Screen Recording, Accessibility, Calendar, Reminders. Skip any of them and the rest of the app works fine.
How do updates arrive?
Charmling checks a tiny static version file once a day (nothing about you is sent — you can turn it off). When something new ships, the charm whispers "update available" and one click downloads it. Every update is free, forever.
What if it's not for me?
Seven days, no questions — reply to your receipt email and the purchase is refunded.
Can I use my own charm?
Any emoji you like. Your 🦄 era is valid.
