omlahore/RemoveMacAI

Debloat macOS: turn off Apple Intelligence, analytics, ads and pop-ups. A native app and CLI, and every change can be undone.

What it solves

It provides a way to completely disable Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and reclaim disk space by removing its downloaded AI models, which otherwise remain on the system even after features are turned off manually.

How it works

The tool uses a configuration profile to apply restriction keys and force specific settings to disable AI features. It removes models via Apple's asset service without modifying /System files or disabling System Integrity Protection. To prevent the OS from automatically re-downloading the models, the profile redirects model downloads to a closed local port.

Who it’s for

Users of Apple silicon Macs running macOS 27 who want to disable AI features and free up storage space.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive removal: Disables Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT extensions, and predictive code completion in Xcode.
  • Reversible: All changes can be undone using a revert command to restore previous settings and allow model re-downloads.
  • Non-invasive: Does not require disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) and makes no network requests.
  • Persistence: The configuration profile persists across macOS system updates.
