Apple Intelligence.

What it is.

Apple Intelligence adds commands to Kloni, using Apple's on-device model. Kloni works the same without it.

What you need

• On the Mac: Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later, and Apple Intelligence turned on in System Settings. Kloni runs on older Macs without these commands.
• On iPhone: an iPhone that has Apple Intelligence, with it turned on in the iPhone's Settings.

While Apple Intelligence is off or its model is still downloading, commands show as disabled, with the reason.

Find the commands

Right-click a node, on the canvas or in the Document, and open Apple Intelligence. The same commands are under Node → Apple Intelligence and in the Command Palette. The sparkle marks what it can do or has written. All commands ends this page.

Turn it off

Set Settings → General → Apple Intelligence features to Off. Every command and the Daily Brief go away, on this device only.

Also: Daily Brief in Today, under it, turns off the brief alone. On iPhone, both switches are in Settings under Apple Intelligence.

Review and undo.

A command either waits for your review or goes straight onto the map as one undo step. Answers vary from run to run and can be wrong, so read them.

While a command runs

• The node says what's happening, such as Suggesting…. Esc stops it and keeps nothing.
• A result chip then says what changed, for about eight seconds, with Try Again (⌘R) and Undo. Try Again replaces the result, and one ⌘Z still goes back to before the first run.
• A read-only map, History and Actions refuse changes, with the reason.
• Apple's safety filter sometimes declines harmless text. Kloni retries, then tells you.

Grow a map.

Suggest Child Nodes

Select a node and press ⌥Tab. Four to seven children arrive, selected, so Delete removes one you don't want. They draw on the node's path, note, children and siblings, and don't repeat a child it has.

Select up to 10 nodes to run it on each.

Break into Subtasks

Select a node and press ⌥⇧Tab. Four to seven Open tasks arrive in working order, after any steps already there. No dates or priorities are made up, so the steps wait in Not planned until you give them one.

Try Again asks for a fuller plan in place of this one. It also runs on up to 10 nodes.

Group into Themes

1. Select 4 to 40 sibling nodes, or one node to group its children.
2. Press ⌥⌘G. A sheet lists them, sorted into two to five named themes.
3. Adjust the themes, then press Group.

Drag a node to another theme, or press 1 to 5 for a theme and 0 to keep it in place. Click a theme's name to rename it. ⌘R asks for another grouping, and its menu has Fewer Themes and More Themes.

Each node moves with its whole branch. One ⌘Z puts everything back.

Suggest Tags

Open the tag popover (⌘⇧T) and up to three of your own tags appear under the field as Suggested. Click one, or press ↓ then Return. When none fits, it may offer one marked New. Nothing is added until you pick.

Also: Suggest Tags on the Apple Intelligence menu tags up to 10 nodes right away, each with its own fit, from your existing tags only.

Tidy text.

Condense Label

Gives a label that grew into a sentence a short title. The whole label moves, word for word, to the top of the note. It's offered on labels wider than the card, up to 10 at once, and a small sparkle appears when you select a clipped one.

Summarize Branch into Note

Right-click a node with at least two nodes under it and choose this command. The model writes two to four sentences about the branch, in a card beside the node. Edit the text or press Try Again, then ⌘Return adds it and Esc dismisses it.

On a node with a note, choose Add at Top or Replace Note.

Outline Note as Child Nodes

Reads a note written as prose, such as an email, into its main points. Edit or remove points in the card, and ⌘Return adds them as children. The note stays as it is.

A note that's already a list shows the reason instead: Turn into moves it into nodes word for word.

Summarize Web Page

Right-click a link to a web page and choose this command. A two-sentence summary goes on top of the node's note, and three to six key points become children. Your note stays. You can select up to 5 links.

Past about 7,000 words it covers the first part. A page with too little text, an error, a sign-in or a paywall gets no summary, and the toast says why.

Also: when you import a link, the Summarize with Apple Intelligence switch does the same. Import without Summary skips it.

Improve Writing

1. In a note, or a Document label you're editing, select text, or leave the caret in a paragraph.
2. Click the sparkle at the end of the selection bubble and choose Proofread, Rewrite or Make Concise. ⌥⌘P proofreads.
3. Read the changes in your own text: deleted words struck through, new ones underlined.
4. Press Return to apply them all as one undo step, or Esc to leave everything as it was.

Formatting stays, and code is never sent. It takes up to 12,000 characters at a time, and isn't offered in a canvas label or Quick Capture.

Also: Format → Improve Writing, or the Command Palette in a note. Apple's own Writing Tools are in Edit → Writing Tools.

Improve Structure

In Create from Text, asks the model about the lines the outline is unsure of. It moves lines without rewriting them. Undo Improve puts the outline back.

Plan your day.

Daily Brief

A short read of your day at the top of the Tasks list while Today is showing: where to start, and why. It writes itself when Today has three tasks or more. Point at a task it names to light the row, or click to select it.

Open its … button for Refresh Daily Brief or Hide Daily Brief. Show Daily Brief in the Command Palette brings it back.

Suggest Triage

Reads a task the way you jotted it down and proposes what it already says: a cleaner title, the date or Someday, the priority, and tags you already use. With Not planned showing, hover a task and click its sparkle. A card opens under the row.

Drop any field with its ×, change the date or priority, or add one with + Date or + Priority. Return accepts and Esc dismisses.

It only fills fields the task doesn't have, and Kloni's own date reading works out every date. A date read from another language carries a small ?; point at it for the words it came from.

A date or Someday takes the task out of Not planned. Without one it stays there.

Also: swipe the row left, or choose Suggest Triage on its right-click menu or in the Command Palette.

Triage All

With Not planned showing, click the sparkle in the title row. It steps through up to 50 tasks, one card at a time, and skips any it can't read. Esc stops the run, and a toast sums it up.

Ask in your own words.

Ask about Selection

Select one or more nodes and press ⌥⌘I. A popover beside the node lists the commands that apply, with their keys and a chip saying which nodes it's about. Pick one, or type a request, such as make these high priority, and press ⌘Return for a preview.

Commands in plain language

Open the Command Palette (⌘⇧P), type a sentence, such as collapse below level 2 or add Trevi Fountain under See, and press ⌘Return. Kloni turns it into one command.

A change to the map shows a preview first: what will happen, and to which nodes. Return runs it as one undo step, and Esc goes back to your sentence. Folding, focusing, zooming, switching views and selecting run at once.

It can set states, priorities, dates and tags, rename, add a child, sort, change the layout and start any Apple Intelligence command. It can't delete, move to another map, export or change settings.

Search in plain language

In Search, type a sentence, such as open tasks for the client, and press ⌥Return, or click Turn into filters under the field. It becomes the field's own chips, here #client and Active, and the ordinary search runs them.

A tag counts only if your library uses it, and a date only if the sentence says it. Undo puts your sentence back. If the model can't read it, Search looks for the words you typed.

Names and changes.

What Changed

At the top of the History panel, pick Today, Past week or Past month. The counts and All changes are the exact account, with or without Apple Intelligence.

With Apple Intelligence, a few sentences above them say where most of the change happened. A sentence that adds a claim the changes don't support is left out.

Also: View → What Changed…, What Changed This Week in the Command Palette, or What Changed Here? on a node for one branch.

Suggest Map Name

Double-click a tab to open its rename box. An untitled map gets three names at once. Any other shows Suggest names (⌥Return). Pick one, or keep typing.

It's a normal rename, and the root label stays as it is. A map needs at least three labeled nodes.

Also: Suggest Map Name… in the tab's menu, the File menu and the Command Palette, or the small sparkle on an untitled tab.

On iPhone.

Kloni for iPhone has these commands too, with the same review and undo. A request stops when you leave the app. These are the differences:

A keyboard brings the same keys for node commands, Search and Try Again. See also the iPhone page.

Privacy and languages.

What stays on your device

The model runs on your Mac or iPhone. Nothing you write is sent anywhere, and there's no account.

Summarize Web Page fetches the page from its site, as importing a link does, and reads it on your device.

What runs without asking

Three things run on their own, and none changes a map: the Daily Brief while Today is showing, Suggested tags when you open the tag popover, and names when you open the rename box of an untitled map. The brief reads only Today's labels, maps, dates, states and priority, never your notes.

Languages

• Answers are written in the language of your map, label, note, task or page.
• Sentences for Search and the Command Palette work in any language the model reads.
• The Daily Brief and the What Changed summary are in English. When most of today's tasks are in another language, the brief shows the day's counts.

For a language the model doesn't support, Kloni says so and changes nothing.

All commands.

Keys are the Mac's defaults. Node menu means Apple Intelligence on a node's right-click menu, under Node in the menu bar, or in the Command Palette.
