About Vehla

Vehla is a native macOS command center that combines multiple utilities into one palette-driven app. It serves Mac users who want a launcher, clipboard intelligence, window management, dictation, and on-device AI in a single product.

Vehla operates as a local, keyboard-driven palette that integrates actions across apps without requiring ongoing cloud access. It emphasizes on-device models and a private workflow, with cloud options available if a user provides an API key. The onboarding introduces appearance, hotkeys, permissions, Flow setup, local AI models, and optional Quick Surfaces.

Vehla includes features such as QuickGlass, Flow for dictation, Shelf for temporary storage, and SnapWheel for window actions around the pointer. It also provides a local catalog of models, supports Workspaces, Notes and Kanban, and offers store extensions and MCP tools for automation.

The product highlights a seven-day Pro trial and a one-time purchase for Pro, with free updates for life and no renewal.

Frequently asked questions

What is Vehla?
A native macOS command center that replaces a stack of single-purpose utilities: command palette, on-device AI actions, window management, clipboard intelligence, dictation, file shelf, menu-bar cleanup, and notes, canvas and Kanban workspaces - all behind one hotkey.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 15.0 or later on Apple Silicon. Vehla does not run on Intel Macs or earlier macOS versions.
Does Vehla need an internet connection?
Not for the core of it. With a catalog model downloaded and Local AI selected, text AI actions, dictation, clipboard OCR, Recall retrieval and every native command run on-device. Cloud providers, web search, vision actions, licensing and updates need a connection.
Do I need my own API key?
Only if you want cloud models. Vehla ships an on-device MLX runtime, so you can run text actions with no key at all. For cloud, bring a key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek or OpenRouter - it is stored in macOS Keychain and requests go straight from your Mac to the provider.
