Download the package for your system, open it, and OCTOVO sets itself up together with you in under 15 minutes — no command line, no second install step.
Download
Download once. Done.
No second step, no command line, no database you set up yourself. Database, background service, autostart and the menu-bar icon are all in the package. 14 days free, without payment details.
Uninstalling removes the app and asks in a window whether the data should go too — with the option to export everything as a file first.

Open it, drag the icon into “Applications”, start it. Signed with an Apple-Development-Zertifikat and not notarized — on first launch macOS therefore reports an unknown developer; confirm once with a right-click on “Open”, then never again.

Verify the checksum
This lets you see for yourself that the file wasn’t altered on the way. In the terminal, in the folder with the downloaded file:
shasum -a 256 OCTOVO-0.1.38-arm64.dmgIt must come out exactly as this:

Afterwards
Six rungs to the first morning
There is no form. The assistant leads the conversation, a progress trail runs along on the left. Every step can be skipped, and every one caught up later.
No command line, no database — the assistant leads the conversation.
-
Name
You say what your assistant should be called. “Otto” is suggested, and it stays changeable forever.
-
Account
Sign in — that’s all it takes. No AI account, no key, no payment details for the trial.
-
The one consent
Once, it asks for access to your device, with a list of what it may do afterwards. Never a storm of clicks again.
-
Getting acquainted
Eight questions in full sentences, each skippable. Afterwards it knows your tone, your working hours and your important people.
-
Mailbox
Just type in the email address. It finds the provider and the right settings itself.
-
The first morning
The next day your overview is waiting before you have your coffee. Under 15 minutes of effort to get here.
