How much time will I actually save with Fazm?

Most users report saving 45-90 minutes per day on repetitive tasks. The biggest time savings come from email management (drafting replies, sorting, archiving), form filling (expense reports, CRM updates, applications), research (comparing products, gathering data from multiple sites), and social media (cross-posting, scheduling, replying). For example, booking a flight that normally takes 10 minutes of clicking through airline sites takes a single voice command with Fazm. Filing an expense report that requires opening a PDF, extracting numbers, and entering them into a spreadsheet becomes one spoken sentence. The more repetitive and multi-step your daily work is, the more time you get back.

What exactly can Fazm control?

Fazm controls everything you can do manually on your Mac. That includes mouse movements and clicks, keyboard typing, browser navigation and form filling, app switching, file management in Finder, and system-level actions. It uses direct browser DOM control for web interactions - meaning it reads and manipulates the actual page structure rather than taking screenshots and guessing where to click. For native macOS apps, Fazm uses accessibility APIs to interact with buttons, menus, text fields, and other UI elements. This works across any application: Chrome, Safari, VS Code, Slack, Figma, Terminal, Mail, Calendar, and more.

How is Fazm different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude give you answers in a conversation window. Fazm takes action directly on your computer. When you say 'reply to Sarah's email,' Fazm opens your email app, finds Sarah's message, writes a contextual reply, and sends it. A chatbot would tell you what to write, but you still have to do all the clicking and typing yourself. Fazm moves your mouse, types on your keyboard, clicks buttons, and navigates between apps. It is a computer agent, not a chat assistant.

How does the memory layer work?

Fazm builds a personal knowledge graph by extracting information from your files, browsing history, conversations, and daily activity. Over time, it learns your contacts (names, emails, relationships), accounts and credentials, preferences (formatting, tone, scheduling habits), and frequently used workflows. In your first week, you might say 'Reply to Sarah's email, she's my cofounder, her email is sarah@acme.com.' By week four, you just say 'Reply to Sarah' because Fazm already knows who she is. By week eight, Fazm can draft the reply before you even ask. All of this data stays locally on your Mac - your knowledge graph never leaves your machine or gets sent to any cloud service.

Is Fazm safe? Can it mess up my computer?

Safety is built into every layer of Fazm. You watch every action in real-time on your screen - Fazm moves your mouse and types visibly, so there is nothing hidden. You can stop any action at any point by pressing a keyboard shortcut. Fazm also shows you what it plans to do before executing destructive actions like deleting files or sending emails, giving you a chance to confirm or cancel. Because Fazm is open source, the code is fully auditable on GitHub. There is no hidden behavior, no background processes making changes you cannot see, and no actions that bypass your screen.

What platforms does Fazm support?

Fazm currently supports macOS, running natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. It is built with Swift and uses macOS-specific frameworks like ScreenCaptureKit for screen analysis and Accessibility APIs for app control, which is why macOS is the primary platform. Windows and Linux support are on the roadmap but do not have release dates yet. You can also control your Mac remotely from your phone using Fazm Remote, which gives you voice access to your desktop while you are away from your computer.

How does Fazm voice input work?

One keyboard shortcut activates push-to-talk. Hold the key, speak naturally about what you need done, and release. Fazm transcribes your speech locally using on-device models, so there is no network latency for the voice recognition step. You do not need wake words like 'Hey Siri' or 'OK Google' - just press and talk. You can also type commands into the floating toolbar if you prefer text input. Fazm understands natural language, so you do not need to memorize specific commands. Say 'book me a flight to Tokyo next Thursday' or 'find the cheapest AirPods on Amazon' and Fazm figures out the steps.

Does Fazm work in languages other than English?

Yes. Fazm works in any language - English, Russian, Spanish, German, Japanese, and more. You can speak or type in your preferred language and Fazm will understand and act. Some of our most active users run their entire workday in Russian, issuing voice commands to manage Jira tickets, write Slack messages, and navigate internal tools. There is no language setting to configure - just speak or type naturally and Fazm handles it.

Is my data sent to the cloud?

Fazm processes screen analysis and memory entirely on your machine. The personal knowledge graph, file indexing, and screen capture all run locally. The only data that leaves your Mac is the intent - a text description of what you want to accomplish, which is sent to the AI model (Claude or GPT) for action planning. Your actual screen content, file contents, browsing history, and personal knowledge graph never leave your computer. Fazm is also open source, so you can verify exactly what data is transmitted by reading the code on GitHub. For users who need complete air-gapped operation, local model support is planned.

Control Your Mac from Your Phone with AI

You are on the train, at a coffee shop, or walking between meetings. An urgent email needs a reply that requires information from a file on your Mac. A client asks for a PDF you can only generate from your desktop. Your deployment pipeline needs monitoring but your laptop is at home. Traditional remote desktop makes you pinch-zoom into a tiny screen and tap buttons with your thumb. Fazm gives you something better: just tell your Mac what to do from your phone, and it does it.

Remote Desktop Was Not Built for Phones

Apple Screen Sharing, VNC, and tools like TeamViewer all share the same fundamental problem: they project a full desktop onto a phone screen. A 27-inch display crammed into a 6-inch rectangle. You scroll, zoom, scroll again, miss the button, zoom more, tap the wrong thing, undo, and try again. The experience is usable in emergencies but miserable for actual work.

Fazm flips the model. Instead of showing you your Mac screen and making you interact with it remotely, Fazm accepts high-level commands from your phone and executes them independently on your Mac. You say what you want done. Fazm figures out the clicks, keystrokes, and navigation. You get a confirmation when it is finished. No screen mirroring, no tiny buttons, no frustration.

Things You Can Do from Your Phone

✓"Reply to Sarah's email - tell her I'll be 15 minutes late"

✓"Order my usual from DoorDash"

✓"Post this update on Twitter and LinkedIn"

✓"Merge those 5 PDFs in Downloads and email them to Mike"

✓"Book the cheapest direct flight to Tokyo for Thursday"

✓"Find competitor pricing for PM tools and put it in a sheet"

✓"Check my bank balance and list this week's transactions"

✓"Run the deploy pipeline and tell me when it's done"

How Remote Control Works

Send a command from your phone

Open the Fazm companion app or web interface on your phone. Type or dictate your command in natural language.

Fazm receives the instruction

Your command is encrypted and sent to your Mac over a secure connection. Fazm wakes up and parses the request.

Execution on your Mac

Fazm opens the relevant apps, clicks buttons, fills forms, navigates menus, and completes the entire workflow on your Mac - just as if you were sitting in front of it.

Confirmation on your phone

When the task is complete, you get a notification on your phone with a summary of what Fazm did. For email replies, you see the draft. For orders, you see the confirmation.

Why Command-Based Remote Control Wins

No tiny screen navigation

Instead of squinting at your Mac desktop on a 6-inch phone, you just describe what you want. Fazm handles the visual navigation on the full-size display.

Works over any connection

Text-based commands need minimal bandwidth - no high-resolution screen streaming. Works on 4G, airport Wi-Fi, or spotty hotel connections.

Full desktop power

Your Mac has all your apps, files, browser sessions, and credentials. Remote commands let you leverage all of that without carrying your laptop.

Real-World Scenarios

The commuter email

You are on the subway and your manager needs a reply that references a document on your Mac. From your phone: "Reply to David's email about the Q3 budget. Open the budget spreadsheet on my Desktop and tell him the total for marketing is $47,500." Fazm opens Mail, finds the thread, opens the spreadsheet to verify the number, and sends the reply - all while you are underground.

The client PDF request

A client messages you while you are at lunch asking for a compiled report. From your phone: "Merge the three PDFs in my Client-Reports folder, add page numbers, and email the result to jen@clientcorp.com with the subject 'Q1 Report'." Fazm handles the merge, numbering, and email delivery while you finish your sandwich.

The deployment monitor

You pushed code before leaving the office and need to know when the deploy finishes. From your phone: "Run the deploy pipeline and tell me when it is done. If it fails, send me the error logs." Fazm triggers the deployment, watches the terminal output, and notifies you with the result - success or failure with logs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my Mac need to be turned on?+

Yes. Your Mac needs to be running and connected to the internet. It does not need to be actively in use - Fazm works even when the screen is locked or the lid is closed (with Power Nap enabled).

Is the remote connection secure?+

Yes. Fazm uses end-to-end encryption for all remote communications. No one - including Fazm's servers - can read the content of your remote sessions.

How is this different from Screen Sharing or remote desktop?+

Remote desktop shows you a tiny version of your Mac screen and makes you tap buttons with your finger. Fazm is command-based - you describe what you want, and the AI executes it.

What tasks can I run remotely?+

Anything Fazm can do locally, it can do remotely - email replies, food orders, flight bookings, PDF processing, social media posting, deployment monitoring, and more.
