For Mac · waitlist open

Ask out loud.
Nixie shows you, on your screen.

Nixie is Threshold’s first agent. She sees your screen, draws on it to teach you, and does the busywork in your apps. Threshold cleans anything private before it leaves your Mac.

Free to join. Threshold Pro is $12 a month when it opens.

Works in the apps already on your Mac. If you can see it, Nixie can read it.

Try it

Pick something. Watch her work.

The same moves as the video, live on this page: a physics problem, a beat, a video cut and a bank letter. Pick one to start it.

Done: a = 3.24 m/s², T = 39.4 N. Want the friction step slower?

Asked to walk through a textbook problem with two blocks, a pulley and friction, Threshold circles the key facts, draws every force on the diagram, writes the working beside it and boxes the answer: a = 3.24 m/s², T = 39.4 N.

Teach

Nixie doesn’t tell you where to click. She shows you.

Ask out loud about whatever is on your screen. Nixie looks, then draws on the app, the video or the code you’re in, and talks you through it.

“I want to make a beat in here. Teach me how, step by step.”

Step 3 of 6: the metronome. I’ll wait for you.

Do

Then she does the work, in your apps.

Not in a chat box you copy out of. She writes in Outlook and Word, builds the deck in PowerPoint, opens the app or the site, and keeps going in the background while you get on with your day.

“Make this sound nicer.”

By voice, from anywhere.

Press the key and tell her. The voice and the dictation run on your Mac, and her first words come back while the apps are still opening.

Private

Cleaned before it leaves your Mac.

Names, cards, accounts, PDFs and photos are cleaned on the Mac before anything reaches ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or the cloud model Nixie thinks with. That’s Threshold’s job, for every agent, on every plan. You get a receipt every time.

what left your Mac

Hi, I’m [Name 1]. My card [Card 1] was charged twice by [Clinic 1] on Oct 3. My account is [Account 1]. Write me a short dispute letter.

4 details swapped on this Mac before it was sent
  • Mostly on your Mac. The voice, the dictation and a local brain run here. On Free, Nixie works with nothing leaving at all.
  • The cloud sees cleaned words. When a bigger brain helps, it gets the sentence with the private parts swapped out, never the original.
  • Receipts. What went, what was swapped, and where it went, kept on the Mac where you can read it.

A real take: an invoice dropped into a chat, cleaned in nine places on the Mac before upload. The original never left.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Who is Nixie?

Nixie is Threshold’s first agent: the helper you talk to. She looks at your screen when you ask, draws on it to teach you, and does the work in your apps. Threshold is the app around her: it keeps what’s private on your Mac and gives you a receipt for whatever leaves.

Is she watching my screen all the time?

No. Nixie looks when you ask her something, and reads the window you’re working in to answer. Threshold doesn’t record your screen in the background.

What actually leaves my Mac?

On Free, nothing needs to: Nixie thinks with a brain that runs on the Mac. On Pro, the words her cloud model needs go to the cloud after names, cards, accounts and other private details are swapped out, and every time it happens you get a receipt.

What do I pay for?

Threshold. Every plan comes with Nixie: Free runs her on your Mac, and Threshold Pro gives her a frontier cloud model, teaching on your screen and the work in your apps. You don’t pay per agent, and new agents are meant to come with the plan you have. If one ever needs much more computing power, we’ll say so before it costs anything.

Will there be other agents?

Yes. Nixie is only the first. Each new agent will have its own name and its own strengths, and each one goes through the same privacy layer. We’ll show them here when they’re ready, not before.

Did you make your own AI model?

No, and we’d rather say so. Nixie thinks with a leading cloud model (or one on your Mac, on Free). What’s ours is everything around it: her voice and character, how she sees and draws on your screen, what she’s allowed to do, and the cleaning that happens before anything leaves.

Which apps does she work in?

Anything you can see. She’s been filmed in Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, GarageBand, jGRASP, Chrome, Calendar and Reminders, and she acts directly in Outlook, Word, Pages, VS Code, Xcode and jGRASP.

Does she ever send an email or press buy?

No. She writes drafts, fills in and rewrites, then stops. Sending, submitting and paying stay with you.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac. The exact requirements come with your invite.

When do I get in, and what does it cost?

We’re letting people in from the waitlist a few at a time. Free stays free. Threshold Pro is $12 a month or $99 a year, and Team is $15 a seat a month. Nothing is charged to join.
