The Mac beta

Smol for Mac

Your team’s files, conversation and next step in one dedicated window. Keep the project close without keeping another browser tab open.

Apple Silicon · macOS 12+ · Chrome for sign-in · Online

Smol episode workspace with messages on the left, recordings and thumbnails on the right, and project navigation
The workspace layout shared by Mac and web. Synthetic example project.

A window for the work

Open your workspace from Smol. Search with ⌘K. Use familiar editing, zoom and fullscreen controls. Your desktop session stays on this Mac.

The whole handoff

Recordings, edits, thumbnails and feedback live together. Folder chat, owners and statuses keep the next step beside the files.

Find the moment

Search processed content, read transcripts and ask file questions with source references. Reselect an original to resume an interrupted upload.

What we’re designing for

Less hunting. More continuity.

Pick up the project where the team left it, with the files and decisions in view.

Context stays attached
A project has files and a conversation. Open either without losing the other.
Mac controls feel familiar
Use native window menus and keyboard shortcuts around the shared workspace.
One workspace across devices
The Mac app and web app use the same team files, permissions and conversations. Internet access is required; offline sync is not available.

Keeping it current

Smol checks for a newer beta at startup. You can also choose Smol → Check for updates. Updates download and verify in the background. When ready, choose Restart to update; your desktop session stays on this Mac.

The hosted workspace updates automatically. Older betas need one manual replacement to enable automatic updates.

Apple Silicon only today. Intel Mac, Windows and Linux builds are not available yet.
