- MCP serversConnect Model Context Protocol servers so Xeneric's AI can use their tools, with reading on and actions off by default.
- VoiceTalk to Xeneric and hear it answer, keep a hands-free conversation going, or clap twice to wake it.
- NotchThe island over your Mac's notch: now playing, your day, heads-ups, quick ask and a drop shelf for files.
- Xeneric TerminalA terminal on Alacritty's engine made for AI coding agents, with tabs, a grid view and a pinned Xeneric tab. Open it with ⌥⇧T.
- FilesConvert, zip and share the files selected in Finder from a radial menu (⌥⇧F), or hold them on the notch's shelf.
- FreeUpSee where your disk space went and free it safely. Your files go to the Trash; macOS and your apps are never touched.

- Runner (menu bar)A little runner in the menu bar that moves faster the busier your Mac is. Click it for CPU, memory, network, disk and battery.

- CursorChange your pointer's size and theme, and add a halo, click rings or a spotlight so people can follow it.
- DrawDraw over your whole screen with pens, a highlighter, arrows and boxes. Fading ink (F) clears itself. Open it with ⌥⇧D.
- Lens & spotlightXeneric Lens (⌥⇧Z) magnifies the screen around your pointer; the spotlight (⌥⇧L) dims everything else.
- Write AnywhereWrite or rewrite text in any app: a “Talk with Xeneric” bubble beside the text box, or ⌥⇧Space.
- CalendarYour day in the notch, a heads-up before each event, and answers about your schedule. Works with your Mac's calendars or Google Calendar.
- DashboardXeneric's settings window: every page, integrations, editable shortcuts and the left-edge rail.
