On October 20, 2026, Perplexity unveiled a new on-device mode for its Mac application, permitting the Computer agent to function exclusively locally on Mac devices. Under this mode, task planning, logical reasoning, file handling, and tool execution are all carried out directly on the device, negating the necessity of uploading personal data to the cloud. Once authorized by the user, Computer gains the ability to access and manipulate local Mac files and applications, including Notes, Messages, Mail, Keynote, and Numbers. For enhanced security, the execution of code and tools takes place within a segregated sandbox environment. This functionality is accessible to subscribers of Perplexity Pro, Max, and Enterprise plans, initially supporting two on-device models: Qwen 3.6 and PPLX Pro. The minimum system prerequisites include an Apple chip and 36GB of unified memory.
