Sometimes the work isn’t in the cloud — it’s on your laptop. Local Shell lets Notis act on your machine: your files, your code, your installed apps. You stay in charge with approvals and a sandbox that keeps writes inside a safe folder.

​
What you can ask for

  • “Open the repo on my Desktop, run the tests, and tell me what’s failing.”
  • “Find duplicate photos in my Pictures folder and move them to a review folder.”
  • “Push my current branch and open a pull request.”
  • “Show me what’s taking up space in my Downloads.”

​
What you need

  • The Notis desktop app, installed and signed in. That’s the only requirement.
  • A Mac for the smoothest experience. Windows and Linux work too, but every command asks for your approval.

​
How you stay in control

Open Settings → Your Computer in the desktop app and pick the mode that matches how much trust you want to hand over: When Notis does ask, a modal pops up showing the exact command, the folder it’ll run in, and a network toggle. You Allow or Deny.

​
When Notis uses it

Only when the task really needs your machine. If it can be done in the Cloud Computer, Notis will stay there — it’s faster and doesn’t touch your computer.
