What Are Jarvis's System Requirements?

Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is a desktop AI assistant for macOS 12 Monterey or newer, Windows 10 and 11 on x64, and Linux. Installing Jarvis needs roughly 700 MB of free disk space and no licence key on any of the three platforms. The Mac build is Apple Silicon native. The models run in the cloud rather than on your machine, so an internet connection matters more than local hardware. Grant screen-recording permission for screen awareness, and authorize each connector over OAuth. You also grant screen-capture permission so screen-aware features work, and authorize connectors via OAuth. Summon the floating bar with Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux. There is no minimum CPU generation beyond what your OS itself requires. Pricing is the same across all supported systems: a free plan (40 requests/week), then $16/month Pro or $32/month Unlimited. OAuth tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted and GDPR-aligned.

The hard requirements are at the OS level. On Mac, you need macOS 12 Monterey or newer, which covers both Apple Silicon and a wide range of Intel models. On Windows, both Windows 10 and Windows 11 are supported, so you do not need Windows 11's stricter hardware requirements. On Linux, any modern distribution that can run an AppImage works, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Pop!_OS, and Arch-based systems among them, typically with FUSE available. If your OS is current, your hardware almost certainly qualifies.

Because Jarvis is a thin client and never runs local model inference, hardware demands are modest: about 8GB of RAM is comfortable (16GB is plenty), integrated graphics are fine, and no discrete GPU or large VRAM is needed. Disk usage is small, there is no multi-gigabyte model download. A reliable internet connection is the one non-negotiable, since prompts go to cloud models. This is why Jarvis runs well on budget laptops, older Intel Macs, and lightweight Linux machines that could never run a capable local model.
