Introduction

apfel exposes Apple Foundation Models as a UNIX CLI and a local OpenAI-compatible server so you can run prompts 100% on-device with no API keys. It supports tool calling and a 4096-token context, and is GitHub-verified at 5,329★.

Best for: Mac developers who want a local OpenAI-compatible backend for scripts, SDKs, and agent tools (no cloud keys)

Works with: macOS 26+ Apple Silicon; OpenAI SDKs via base_url; shell pipelines; file-attached prompts

Setup time: 10–20 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • README shows apfel --serve as a local OpenAI-compatible server at http://localhost:11434/v1.
  • Requirements call out macOS 26 Tahoe+ on Apple Silicon (M1+) with Apple Intelligence enabled.
  • README badge lists version 1.3.3 and context size 4096 tokens.
  • GitHub: 5,329 stars · 205 forks; pushed 2026-05-12 (GitHub API verified).

Main

Use apfel in two production-friendly ways:

  1. CLI for scripts: pipe text in/out, attach files with -f, and request JSON output for automation.
  2. Local server for SDKs/agents: point any OpenAI-compatible client at http://localhost:11434/v1 and keep prompts on-device.

If you maintain agent tooling, start by wiring one integration (CLI or server) and add a smoke test that calls a tiny prompt so failures are obvious after OS updates.
