Brello and Brello PI

The difference in one line

Brello has no agent. Everything that reads, measures and explains your Mac is in both apps. Only Brello PI does work from a sentence, and that part needs Apple’s on-device model, which runs only on newer Macs.

Who Brello is for

• Anyone who wants to know how their Mac is doing. The battery, the drive, memory and swap, security, backups and every process, each explained in plain words, with the button that fixes what can be fixed. Everything Health does.
• People with an Intel Mac, or a Mac that can’t run Apple Intelligence. Brello has no AI model, so it does the same on every Mac it supports.
• Developers who run AI agents. The Agents tab shows how many are running and what each one costs the computer, and ends a forgotten session after asking.
• Anyone who wants the utilities without paying for the agent. Home, Clean up, Balance the Load and Quick Search, for $10.

Who Brello PI is for

• People who want the work done for them. Type “turn these receipts into an expense report and draft the email to accounting”, and Brello PI writes a checked PDF and an unsent draft with it attached, with Undo. What the agent does.
• People who change settings, tidy folders or file documents often. With the agent, you ask in a sentence and Brello PI does it, reads it back from your Mac and offers Undo.
• Anyone with a Mac that runs Apple Intelligence who wants one app for all of it. Brello PI has everything Brello has, too.

Questions

Is Brello a trial of Brello PI? No. It’s its own app with its own license, and it keeps working for as long as you use it.

Does Brello have any AI in it? No AI model. It reads your Mac with code, so every figure comes from macOS itself. The Agents tab finds other AI apps running on your Mac; it doesn’t run one.

Does Brello send anything about my Mac? No. It goes online only to activate and check your license with Polar and to look for a new version, and both are listed on its Privacy page.

I bought Brello. How do I get the agent? Buy Brello PI. The two licenses are separate, and Brello PI has everything Brello has. Pricing.
