Work in the focused app
Dictation inserts text where you are typing. Rewrite and Format operate on selected text. Ask, Command and Agent Mode are available when the task needs more than writing.
About Zeus
Zeus is a command layer for macOS.
It is local-first and voice-native: dictation, selected-text rewriting, formatting, questions, direct commands and multi-step agents, without forcing every task through a separate chat window.

Product decisions
Control stays explicit.
Zeus is being built around choices that can be inspected and changed, rather than a single hidden route for every request.
Choose what runs
Select supported speech models, AI providers, local models, MCP servers and per-app profiles instead of relying on one fixed provider.
Set the boundaries first
Privacy Mode, context controls, tool permissions and protected-write confirmation determine what Zeus can read, where requests can go and which actions may run.
Current stage
Private pre-launch, with the product still changing.
Zeus is being tested with small groups of Mac users before a wider release. The capabilities shown on this website describe the current product direction and may change as the application is completed.
The current work covers speech routes, app profiles, model choice, MCP integrations, Agent Mode, privacy controls and the team and enterprise platform: an admin console for members, seats and permissions, plus MDM deployment with managed policy manifests.
Company
Built by Eclipse Intelligence.
Eclipse Intelligence is the company behind Zeus. It was founded by Mark Ridgeon and also builds Eclipse, a content intelligence platform, alongside other products. It is a member of the Daytona Startup Grid.
Mark is a self-taught founder who came to software through AI-assisted building: shipping products, breaking them, migrating them and rebuilding them properly. Zeus exists because he runs his companies by voice, and he wanted the tool under his own hands every day to be fast, private and accountable.
Zeus is also built and used in the open. Mark streams live product work on BuildHQ, his public build channel, with Zeus running throughout, so you can watch it working under real conditions rather than in staged demonstrations.
Follow the work on BuildHQ on YouTube, X or LinkedIn.
