Native API

Native API

System-level APIs exposed through Electron IPC channels, registered inmain.jsand organized per domain insrc/main/handlers/. The bridge is window.electronAPI.

Two corrections to this page

The only bridge preload.js exposes is window.electronAPI. The previous version of this page routed every example through a different global that no preload creates, so each one threw a TypeError before reaching the channel it named.

The API tables below are a design reference, not a list you can call. Of the 61 methods this page listed, 46 have no IPC channel of that name in either the preload bridge or the main process — there is no read-file, no http-request, no press-hot-key. The code examples below were rewritten against methods verified to exist; the tables are kept because the capability modules may still live in src/lib/ with nothing exposing them. See aartiq-browser/docs-audit/feature-triage.md.

Apple Intelligence Paths

Aartiq ships a native Swift helper for readiness checks, summaries, and Apple image generation. Apple's platform docs also point to more advanced integrations through Writing Tools, App Intents assistant schemas, and native Image Playground interfaces.

Foundation Models

Apple's on-device language model. Reached through the compiled helper, gated on macOS 26.0. Not a general-purpose generation API: Aartiq calls it to summarize.

src/lib/apple-intelligence.swift

Image Playground

Native image generation, gated on macOS 15.1. Returns a file path, not base64.

src/lib/apple-intelligence.swift

Genmoji

Custom emoji from a description, gated on macOS 15.4. Same helper, different command.

src/lib/apple-intelligence.swift

Apple Intelligence panel

The native SwiftUI surface that calls the summary and image endpoints on the loopback bridge.

src/lib/native-panels/AppleIntelligencePanelView.swift

App Intents

Twenty intents registered for Siri, five of which call a bridge route that is not served. See the Apple integration page for which ones work.

src/lib/native-panels/AppIntents.swift

Writing Tools

Not implemented. No code path calls the macOS Writing Tools service. The rewrite box in the panel is Aartiq's own prompt box and is not relabelled to cover this row.

Code Examples

System APIs Example

// window.electronAPI is the only bridge preload.js exposes.
// Earlier examples on this page called a different global and threw.

const platform = await window.electronAPI.getPlatform();
// 'darwin' | 'win32' | 'linux'

const isOnline = await window.electronAPI.getIsOnline();
console.log(platform, isOnline);

Type Definitions

TypeScript Definitions

// Response shapes, transcribed from the code.
//
// Every field of ResponsePayload in src/lib/apple-intelligence.swift. The
// optional fields are omitted when the matching command is unavailable, so
// read the availability flag before the value.
interface AppleIntelligenceResponse {
  success: boolean;
  error?: string;

  // Every command
  available?: boolean;
  osVersion?: string;

  // Summaries, via Foundation Models. macOS 26.0+
  supportsSummaries?: boolean;
  summaryAvailable?: boolean;
  summaryReason?: string;   // present when it is unavailable
  summary?: string;

  // Image Playground. macOS 15.1+
  supportsImageGeneration?: boolean;
  imageAvailable?: boolean;
  imageReason?: string;
  imagePath?: string;        // a filesystem path, not base64
  availableStyles?: string[];

  // Genmoji. macOS 15.4+
  supportsGenmoji?: boolean;
  genmojiAvailable?: boolean;
  genmojiReason?: string;
  genmojiPath?: string;      // a filesystem path, not base64
}

// Off macOS, every one of these resolves to exactly:
//   { success: false, error: APPLE_INTELLIGENCE_UNAVAILABLE }
// where the message is "Apple Intelligence is only available on macOS."

// Approval ticket, from src/lib/approval-gate.js: bound to a hash of the
// exact action and its arguments, five minute TTL, single use.
interface ApprovalTicket {
  id: string;
  action: string;
  params: Record<string, unknown>;
  riskTier: string;
  expiresAt: number;         // epoch milliseconds
}

Best Practices

Usage Patterns

Recommended

  • Always await async operations before continuing
  • Use error handling for file/network operations
  • Check permissions before destructive actions
  • Add delays between rapid input operations

Avoid

  • Rapid-fire keyboard input without delays
  • Deleting files without confirmation
  • Ignoring errors on system operations
  • Running shutdown without user consent
