RemoveMacAI is an open-source Mac utility that disables Apple Intelligence features, including Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground and the ChatGPT extension, freeing about 12 GB.
Its creator says it prevents the features from being downloaded again.
The project is relevant to macOS 27, which removed the Settings option to disable and delete Apple Intelligence.
The tool disables Siri, Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, and the ChatGPT extension. According to its creator, it also prevents the features from being downloaded again. The project has amassed nearly 2.000 stars and dozens of forks, or separate versions of the code.
RemoveMacAI can free up about 12 GB of space. Some users report that on their Mac, Apple Intelligence takes up as much as 35 GB; on a MacBook with 256 GB of storage, even the lower estimate is noticeable.
The creator introduced the tool on Reddit’s r/MacOS subreddit, where the post has garnered over 1.000 upvotes. Many users praised it, while others complained about the need for a separate tool to remove system features. Some likened the situation to the need to “debloat” Windows, that is, remove unwanted elements. For Genmoji, which creates custom emoji with artificial intelligence, discussions often boil down to whether anyone actually uses it.
