RemoveMacAI Utility Appears on GitHub to Disable Apple Intelligence and Free Disk Space on macOS

A new open-source tool called RemoveMacAI has been released on GitHub, allowing macOS users to fully disable Apple Intelligence features and remove associated AI models from their systems. The utility addresses the lack of a single toggle in macOS 27 for turning off generative AI capabilities while also reclaiming storage space occupied by downloaded models. It supports Apple silicon devices and works by leveraging Apple's own system services rather than directly modifying protected directories. Users can selectively disable components such as Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration, smart replies, photo cleanup, and Xcode predictive code completion. The tool also installs a configuration profile that prevents models from being redownloaded automatically. Reversion is possible via the removemacai revert command, though this comes at the cost of losing access to certain Apple Intelligence-powered functions in third-party apps and Shortcuts. The project is licensed under MIT and leaves Dictation untouched as it is managed separately.
