A new open-source tool on GitHub is offering Mac owners a way to switch off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get back the disk space it occupies. The project, called RemoveMacAI, describes itself simply: one command, fully reversible.
The repository, published by a developer under the handle omlahore, has already gathered hundreds of stars and forks, signalling real interest from users who want tighter control over what Apple's AI features store on their machines. It is a community fix rather than an official Apple option.
RemoveMacAI: how the macOS 27 tool works
According to the project's own description, RemoveMacAI disables Apple Intelligence and recovers the storage it uses. The key selling point is that the change can be undone, so users are not locked into a permanent modification of their system.
The repository ships with an install script and supporting documentation, including a changelog and contribution guide. It is written primarily in Swift, matching the language Apple uses for its own macOS tooling.
