Tine: An AI desktop cursor that does the work for you
Tine is a second cursor for Mac that lives in the notch, understands your screen context in real time, and can perform cross-app tasks like sending Slack messages, writing notes, and filling forms. It prioritizes trust with visibility, permission, and immediate interrupt, runs on-device, logs all actions, and returns control when you move your mouse.

Tine is a second cursor for your Mac that lives in the notch. Unlike chatbots boxed in a window, it sees your actual screen the active app, your selection, your last move so there's nothing to re-paste. Say the word and it drives the cursor across every app: posts to Slack, writes the note, runs the research, fills the form. It works through your real apps, logs every step, runs on-device, and hands control back the moment you touch the mouse.

Hey Product Hunt !!
For a long time, every “AI” on my Mac lived inside a chat window. Using it meant interrupting my workflow copying content, pasting it into a prompt, explaining context it couldn’t see, and then copying results back. The assistant never actually interacted with my screen or my apps I was still doing all the work.
So we built Tine a second cursor that lives in the notch.
Tine understands what you’re doing in real time: your active app, your selection, and your most recent actions. There’s nothing to re-explain. It can suggest drafts or autofill directly at your cursor, and when you’re ready, it can take over navigating across apps to complete tasks like sending Slack messages, writing notes, running research, or filling out forms.
The real challenge wasn’t the model — it was trust and reliability. Early versions could misinterpret elements on screen or act unpredictably. We rebuilt the system around three principles: full visibility into what it sees, explicit permission before taking action, and immediate control with a single interrupt.
Tine runs on-device by default, logs every action it takes, and hands control back the moment you move your mouse.
We’d love your honest feedback — and I’m especially curious: what’s the first task you’d trust it to handle?

I’d love to see a video/demo of this if possible!
I recently installed an app that controlled parts of my mac and it was a pain uninstalling it esp because i just wanted control over my system again! Seeing what it works and looks like would be AWESOME
