About Hansel
Hansel is a Mac productivity application engineered to record context, reconstruct work history, and answer queries regarding daily activities. Designed specifically for Apple Silicon hardware running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, the software creates a searchable timeline based on work context rather than simple app launches. Users can ask questions about task timing and decisions, rewind past screens and calls using OCR search, and automatically correlate time to projects without running manual timers. All activity data remains encrypted locally on the device, with encryption keys secured in the Mac Keychain and AI processing handled via zero-data-retention providers.
