Thinker now lives in the Dock with its own menu bar — switch to it, hide it, and quit it like any other Mac app, instead of it living only in the menu bar. The app now appears everywhere as “Thinker” — Dock, menu bar, and app switcher.
Meseekna is a quiet macOS app that reads the prompts you send to AI tools and gives you one daily reading on the four cognitive measures behind your best work. Everything below tells you exactly what it can see, what it can’t, and what changes on your Mac.
Thinker runs on macOS — email yourself the download link for when you’re at your Mac.
.dmg — nothing installs until you drag the app to /Applications and open it.
If macOS won’t open it, right-click the app and choose Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

If your Mac runs current AI tools, it runs Meseekna.
Each one is opt-in, with a plain-language explanation at the moment it’s requested. Decline any of them and Meseekna will tell you what stops working — nothing breaks silently.
| Permission | Why Meseekna needs it | When you’re asked |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | To read the prompts you type into ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools. This is the only way macOS lets an app see your outbound prompts without integrating with each tool individually. | First launch |
| Start at login (optional) | Lets Meseekna open automatically when you start your Mac so a daily reading is ready when you want it. Toggle anytime under System Settings → General → Login Items. | Settings, opt-in |
| Notifications (optional) | The one daily nudge. Off by default. | Settings, opt-in |
