What Twinly is

Most assistants live in a chat box and hand you links. Twinly does the task. It runs as a native app on Mac and Windows, learns who you are over time, and operates your real tools, your messages, email, and calendar, the browser, native apps, and the phone, the same way you would. The twin drafts and plans freely; anything that actually leaves your machine (a send, a call, a purchase) waits for your one-tap approval first.

It is yours and private by design. Your messages, your voice, and your learned preferences stay on your device. The only thing that ever leaves is the content of the task you give it, sent to the AI engine that powers the twin so it can reason and act.

• Texts the way you actually text, reading real threads for context (with your permission) so replies sound like you. On a Mac that is iMessage; on Windows it is your linked messaging apps and Google Voice.
• Email through Gmail or your system mail app: send, read your inbox, search, and get a calm heads-up when new mail lands.
• Calendar and reminders: reads your day, adds events, blocks focus time, sends leave-by nudges.
• Works your device: opens and drives apps, fills forms, arranges windows, finds files, captures web pages.
• Real phone calls in your voice: books the table, chases the package, negotiates a bill, all with outbound calls in your voice.
• Runs on a schedule: a morning brief, a Friday review, a daily reservation attempt that retires itself once it succeeds.

The Showcase tab inside the app ships with sixty fully built-out examples grouped into acts, so you can watch the twin run a real task end to end before pointing it at your own.

The AI engine is included. Sign in with a Twinly account and your tasks run on Twinly's managed engine, no API keys and no provider dashboards. The Free plan includes 5 tasks a day with every feature; paid plans from $20 a month raise the daily and weekly limits for tasks, browsing, and calls.

Builds from the original free beta instead run on your own AI provider key; that setup stays documented for them.

The full walk-through, plans, and the beta key setup are in Powering your twin. If you have not installed the app yet, start with Install & first launch.

• Your message history, contacts, calendar, and files never leave your device, except the specific snippets the twin sends to your chosen model to reason about a task.
• Your voice clone is built and stored on-device by default (the on-device Twinly Voice, and the on-device Twinly Voice clone, never upload your voice).
• Credentials you add, like the Gmail app password or an optional voice-provider key, live in your OS keychain (the macOS Keychain, or Windows Credential Manager on a PC).
• Nothing risky happens without your approval. Drafts and plans are free; sends, calls, purchases, and deletes wait for your OK.

The full breakdown is in Privacy & security.

1. Install & first launch gets the app open and running, about five minutes.
2. Powering your twin signs you in, explains the plans, and covers the older beta key setup.
3. Permissions grants the twin the access it needs to act, with a one-click setup.
4. The rest, Voice & calls, Email, and the deeper How Twinly executes and How Twinly remembers you pages, each stand alone. Read them when you want that capability.
