Frequently asked — answered properly
Where something is not settled, it says so here. Where something is not possible, it says that too.
Product
What is Undernap in one sentence?
A local macOS workspace that turns your request into a Mission: a plan you approve, specialists over your own AI accounts, an independent review — and a result with evidence.
Is Undernap a chatbot?
No. There is no conversation window as the product. You give requests as goals with limits; the plan shows how Undernap intends to approach them before anything runs.
Does Undernap replace ChatGPT, Claude or Codex?
No — it coordinates them. Your existing accounts form the Fleet; the plan settles which connection takes which task.
Do I need several AI subscriptions?
No. Undernap works with a Fleet of one account. Several accounts mean more parallel capacity and better-fitting roles — and they are what makes it possible for a review to come from a different provider family. A second subscription is an extension, not a condition for starting.
What is the difference between a specialist, a provider and a model?
The specialist is the role (what is done, and to what standard). The provider is the family whose infrastructure answers. The model is the concrete execution of one session. Undernap keeps the three apart — that separation is what lets a role be re-staffed, and lets a review happen somewhere other than the work.
Which providers are supported?
Proven in operation through the product: Claude, Codex, Grok, MiniMax, Z.ai GLM and OpenRouter (free pool). Further providers are qualified one by one before they count as usable. Your accounts’ capacity limits are respected, never circumvented.
Access & pricing
What does Undernap cost?
The final price is not set — that is a deliberately open decision. What is settled: one licence per installation, verified offline; your AI subscriptions stay yours; Undernap sells no usage.
Can I buy or download Undernap now?
No. Undernap is a Founding Beta: nothing is sold and there is no public download. Access goes through the Founder Beta request.
How does the request work?
You enter your email and confirm it via the link in the confirmation mail (double opt-in). When access becomes possible, we get in touch. No newsletter, no advertising, unsubscribe any time.
What happens when the beta ends?
Founding Beta licences allow permanent use of the product. What is time-boxed is beta access itself and the right to updates — not the use of what you already have.
Technology & privacy
Is my data uploaded to your cloud?
No. Undernap runs locally on your Mac; project knowledge, missions and results live in your local data directory. Outbound, Undernap contacts the AI providers you connected — there is no analytics, crash or usage telemetry to us.
Do you see my credentials?
No. Your connections and credentials stay on your machine (keychain); they leave it only towards the provider they belong to.
Does Undernap run on Windows, Linux or Intel Macs?
No. Undernap is a native macOS app for Apple Silicon, macOS 12 or newer. Other platforms do not exist — not even as “soon”.
Are there automatic updates?
No. Updates are manual: a new, verified package applied in the app or from the command line — with a compatibility check and a rollback.
Is the app signed and notarised?
The Founding Beta package is ad-hoc signed: no Developer ID, no notarisation. macOS therefore warns on first open. The included documentation shows how to open the package. If that changes, it will say so here.
Brand & origin
Why do the screenshots show a different name?
Undernap is the product name. In the current Founding Beta the application still carries its development name in places; renaming it inside the app runs separately from this website. We show the captures unretouched rather than fake a state that does not exist yet. The dark images on this site are labelled “Design preview · Dark mode”: they show the same screens in the dark Undernap interface the app does not have yet.
What is AI Orchestrator?
The brand under which this and other products are made. Undernap is a standalone product of that brand — in either case the contracting party is the person named in the imprint.
