# RemoveMacAI

Turn off Apple Intelligence and delete its models. The app starts with just that. If you want to debloat further, it can also stop the analytics and ads, quiet the pop-ups, switch off other apps' background updaters and get disk space back. You see every change before it happens, and every change can be undone.

Built on [pared](https://github.com/4evy/pared) by 4evy, who did the hard work first: mapping Apple's asset service, the model sets and the settings keys the Apple Intelligence part relies on.
