BUILDING AI THAT STAYS ON YOUR MAC
SCROLL ↓
01 / ABOUT
I'm Anay Parwal, a junior at East Brunswick High School. I build software I'd actually use, then find out what other people need from it: a private AI companion for the Mac, a tutoring marketplace, a platform for pickleball players.

02 / SELECTED WORK
-
01
WISP
A private, local-first AI companion that lives in your Mac's notch. Hold ctrl+option, say it, and it drafts the email, runs the browser errand, tidies your windows and walks you through the app you're stuck in. Speech recognition, the voice and the model all run on-device.
-
02
PRIME PREP TUTORING
A student-run tutoring company at primeprep.academy. I'm the CTO, building the booking, tutor tools and practice content. Founded by Omar, with student tutors. Still in development.
-
03
PICKLEPRICE
One place for pickleball players to find courts, join open play and enter tournaments. I'm the founder.
-
04
KINETIC
A performance app that turns training and recovery data into decisions, with AI that runs on your device instead of in the cloud.
-
05
CANVAS-MCP
Lets Claude read Canvas LMS: courses, assignments and deadlines over stdio or HTTP. It's the idea behind Wisp's Canvas checklist.
-
06
TODAY I LEARNED
A public notebook of short notes on Swift, macOS and dev tooling, written as I learn them. Over a dozen merged pull requests so far.
-
07
VTI STUDIOS
As an AI Automations Developer I build workflows that take repetitive business work off people's plates.
03 / FEATURED: WISP
THE BUSYWORK,
HANDLED. PRIVATELY.
YOUR DAY
Canvas deadlines and calendar events become one checklist in Reminders before you're up. Say "every weekday at 8, tell me what's due" and it becomes an automation you can review before saving.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Transcription (Parakeet on the Neural Engine), the model (Ollama on localhost) and the voice (Kokoro) all run on your Mac. Cloud providers are opt-in with your own key, kept in the Keychain.
UNDER THE HOOD
Native Swift and SwiftUI with AppKit, a notch HUD, a menu bar item, MCP tools and scheduled "buddies". Nothing irreversible happens without an approval card. 64 pull requests and counting.
