Tack+Guides
A local AI assistant, clipboard, music, the notch, color picking, drag and drop, Pomodoro, CPU temperature and memory, to-do lists, Face ID, widgets: what macOS can do, what it can't, and how to save time. Every guide starts with what the Mac offers on its own, then says plainly what Tack+ adds and where it stops.
