About Hunch — Terminal
hunch connects conversations, memory and work on your own computer. Keep thoughts and tasks in Brain. Choose the provider and model for your conversation. Planning mode, goals and approvals are accessible directly in chat. Connect a compatible Hunch runtime to follow work, review decisions and open the terminal when needed. On supported devices running iOS 26 or later, Apple On-Device enables local text chat when Apple Intelligence is available. Other models and voice features require your own supported provider access or a compatible configured endpoint. Available voices and capabilities depend on the selected provider. Computer actions and cross-device synchronization require a reachable, authorized connection to a compatible runtime. You control provider access and the personal data you share; external services process the content you authorize for them. Separate provider terms and charges may apply. Today shows your day from tasks, approvals, threads and actions once a computer is connected. Health (experimental) reads sleep, heart and activity data from Apple Health (HealthKit) with your permission and sends it only to your own connected computer. The values are not a medical diagnosis.
What’s new
Version 1.6 · Updated October 13, 2026
New in 1.6 Today: the Hunch tab shows your day at a glance – tasks due, pending and decided approvals, running threads and actions over the day. The numbers are computed by your connected computer running the Hunch runtime. Hunch ID: confirm approvals with Face ID or Touch ID. The key is created in your device's Secure Enclave; your personal ID card is set up after your first confirmed computer connection. Approvals & autonomy (experimental): decide per computer how much Hunch may do without asking. Declining is always possible. Health (experimental): sleep, recovery and activity from Apple Health – sent, with your consent, only to your own computer and compared there with your personal baseline. Not a medical diagnosis. Hunch keyboard (experimental): a custom keyboard with on-device word suggestions, enabled in iOS Settings. Plus a calmer card design, iOS 26 corner geometry and many fixes. Chat: a reworked input field with drafts and dictation, model selection as a picker per provider, and images in chat with a connected computer. Voice, notifications and the Live Activity are more stable, and errors now show their real reason instead of staying silent.
