Chip
Apple Silicon recommended
Universal binary runs on Intel Macs (2019+) but the on-device Engine prefers M-series.
Memory
8 GB minimum
16 GB recommended if you plan to use the on-device CueDraft Engine for longer drafts.
Disk
App download · about 5 GB optional model
The optional on-device model can take several GB and downloads only if you opt in to local AI.
Network
Optional
Hosted providers need internet. The CueDraft Engine runs entirely offline once installed.
Permissions
Accessibility · Input Monitoring
Required for selection capture and global shortcuts. Granted once, in System Settings.
Requirements
A focused, native Mac app.
CueDraft is a single SwiftUI app — no Electron shell, no background daemon, no menu-bar zoo. The optional on-device model downloads separately only when you opt in.
If your Mac runs the latest version of macOS comfortably, CueDraft will too. Older Intel hardware works for hosted-provider mode.
