RemoveMacAI Tool Disables Apple Intelligence on macOS 27
A GitHub developer released a command-line tool that turns off Siri, Writing Tools, and more, and deletes Apple Intelligence models to free storage.
A developer known as Om Lahore on GitHub has released RemoveMacAI, a command-line tool for macOS 27 that disables Apple Intelligence features, according to Ars Technica. The tool turns off Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, the ChatGPT extension, and summaries.
Beyond toggling features off, RemoveMacAI deletes Apple Intelligence models from the system and stops macOS from downloading them again. The developer said Apple's Intelligence models take up about 12GB of storage.
Dictation remains functional with the tool because it is controlled by a separate setting. According to the tool's GitHub page, RemoveMacAI is fully reversible.
macOS 27 Golden Gate does not include a built-in toggle for turning off Apple Intelligence. The Verge noted that the models can actually take up over 30GB, though the developer cited a smaller figure.
