What is Naseem, and how does it work?

Naseem is a native Swift macOS app (macOS 14+) that acts as an AI agent harness. Connect your own API keys for major model providers or run models locally via MLX or Ollama. It can run shell commands, edit files, automate Mac apps and drive the iOS Simulator with human approval gates for consequential actions.

How to use Naseem for fix code with agent assistance

Naseem documentation — screenshot of the productivity & writing AI tool, Oct 1, 2026
Naseem documentation: where the steps below come from. ayman3000.github.io, captured Oct 1, 2026

Set up Naseem

  1. Download Naseem from GitHub releases
  2. Install on Mac (macOS 14+)
  3. Add API keys for Claude, ChatGPT, or use local Ollama

Example: fix code with agent assistance

  1. Open project folder in Naseem
  2. Ask agent: 'Fix the failing test in app.py'
  3. Agent reads test, identifies issue, proposes patch
  4. Review diff; approve to apply changes
  5. Agent runs tests to verify fix

Review and export the result

  1. Verify API key is set for chosen model
  2. Confirm local model is running (if using Ollama/MLX)
  3. Check that Xcode is installed if using Simulator features
