Sentient OS, a YC-backed desktop AI app, pitches itself as "on-device AI that already knows you":
- Sidekick handoff: click the notch and Sentient takes over your current work with its own mouse cursor, using local context from email, messages, notes, calendar, files, and screenshots
- Double-tap right ⌘ to draft replies: it drafts emails in your voice in two taps because it knows your life context
- Runs on-device, is open-source, available for macOS (Windows waitlist) via brew
- Claims 10k+ Mac users and a top r/macapps post; first 1,000 users get lifetime free access with code FINAL1000
