GoKawiilOpen-source tool RemoveMacAI strips Apple Intelligence features from macOS 27
A developer released RemoveMacAI, an open-source utility that disables Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground and the ChatGPT Extension on Macs, and blocks them from being reinstalled. The tool emerged after Apple removed the ability to disable and delete Apple Intelligence features in macOS 27, and has drawn over a thousand upvotes on Reddit and nearly 2,000 GitHub stars.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The tool's popularity suggests a segment of Mac users view Apple's AI features as bloat rather than value-add, taking up as much as 35GB on devices that often ship with just 256GB of storage. Reddit comments comparing the need to 'debloat' macOS to Windows indicate reputational risk for Apple if frustration with forced AI integration spreads further among its traditionally loyal user base.
- RemoveMacAI deletes Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground and ChatGPT Extension from Macs.
- It was created after macOS 27 removed the option to disable or delete Apple Intelligence features.
- The project has nearly 2,000 GitHub stars and over 1,000 Reddit upvotes, signaling user demand to opt out of Apple's AI.
