Point it at one folder

This is the one idea that makes the rest of Nami make sense. Read this page even if you skip the others.

The one idea

Every session runs inside one folder. The agent can read the files in that folder, write files into that folder, and nothing else. It cannot look at the rest of your Mac.

So the folder you pick is the job you are handing over.

and cannot reach anything out here
The folder you open is the whole world the agent can see.

You can see it in the app itself: the folder is named in the top bar, and the rail beside it lists everything inside.

The folder is named in the top bar, and the rail beside it shows everything the agent can see. That is the whole list.

Pick your first one

Good first folders are small and real. This month’s invoices. One client. A folder of drafts. The place your notes live.

Press ⌘O, or click Open folder, and choose it. Nami remembers it, and every session you start from then on runs inside it.

Switching folders

The folder name sits in the top left of the window. Click it to switch, or to open a second one. Sessions stay with the folder they were started in, so switching never mixes two jobs together.

A folder is a wall, not a filter. If a file is not in the folder, the agent tells you it cannot find it instead of going to look for it.
