- Five practical jobs instead of model jargon
- Download size and relative speed before setup
- One or two models selected without overloading the Mac
- Signed catalog with immutable revisions and licenses

Ready means verified.
ModelSentry refuses to run files it cannot verify, then keeps checking after installation.

Resumable download
Interrupted transfers pick up where they left off, with bounded retries for temporary failures.

SHA-256 verification
Every downloaded model must match its publisher-controlled catalog digest before installation.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered plainly.
Does ModelSentry include AI models?
Models are optional downloads you choose after Smart Match. ModelSentry 1.0 offers eight publisher-controlled, checksum-pinned GGUF options under Apache-2.0 or MIT terms.
Will it work on Intel Macs?
No. ModelSentry 1.0 requires Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later, and Metal. Unsupported Macs stop before model setup.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Model catalog checks and model downloads use the internet. Supported prompts and text documents are processed locally and are not sent to Trieflow.
Can I install more than one model?
Yes. Choose up to two during setup, then manage installed models in the Library. Smart Match prevents choices that do not safely fit.
