Remove unwanted Apple Intelligence models without disabling SIP. CLI, nix-darwin, and Home Manager support.

Pared is a macOS utility, in Swift, that lets Apple silicon users choose which Apple Intelligence features stay enabled and removes the AI models they don't want — all without disabling System Integrity Protection. It offers a native app, a terminal wizard, and nix-darwin/Home Manager modules, using Apple's asset service to manage and block model downloads.

Why now: Recently launched and gaining traction on Mastodon, tapping into user interest in controlling or opting out of Apple Intelligence on macOS.

Who it is for: Mac users on Apple silicon who want to trim or disable Apple Intelligence, especially those managing macOS declaratively with Nix.
