Install and first launch

Install

1. Download Everycloud.dmg from the latest release.
2. Open the disk image and drag the app into Applications.
3. The first time, macOS may block the app because it is not notarized yet. Right-click the app in Applications and choose Open. If macOS still blocks it, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, find the message about the app, click Open Anyway and confirm.

Onboarding

The first launch walks you through a few short steps:

1. Intro. "Hi, I'm Cloud." You can play or skip the intro.

2. About you. Tell Cloud what to call you (first name is fine) and optionally add a photo. This makes your Everycloud card.

3. Access. Three permissions, each with one job:

   • Microphone: hears you when you hold fn or talk to Cloud.
   • Accessibility: puts your words where your cursor is, in any app.
   • System audio: hears the other side of your calls, for meeting notes.

   Each row turns green as soon as you allow it. If Everycloud is not in the list, drag its icon into the list. If an old "Everything" or "Everycloud" entry is there, remove it first. Your Mac may ask for your password; that's normal. You can turn these off any time in System Settings.

4. Your AI. Pick the AI your questions go to (see Agents). You can change it later.

When you see "You're ready.", hold fn anywhere and just talk.

Updates

Everycloud checks for updates. Use Check for Updates… in the app menu, and turn Check automatically on or off in the Updates section.
