Apple is working on a new app called Harbor

Harbor turns your Mac into a private AI inference server. Run open-weight models locally on Apple silicon—your data never leaves your hardware, and nothing reaches the cloud. Connect multiple Mac computers over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory, enabling large models and higher concurrency that a single computer can handle alone.

Set up in minutes, not hours Harbor automatically detects your devices over Thunderbolt 5 to form a cluster. Plug in, start, and you’re running—no manual configuration, no command line, no infrastructure expertise required.

Download and run models directly Browse, download, and load open-weight models from within the app. Harbor handles model management so you can focus on the work, not the setup.

Cluster for scale Connect two or more Thunderbolt 5-capable Mac computers and Harbor pools their unified memory into a single inference resource. Run models that exceed any single computer’s capacity, or serve more concurrent requests across your cluster.

Harbor is currently in a private preview under the Claris brand.

Per 9to5Mac and leaker Aaron Perris, Apple's Claris unit is previewing Harbor. It would turn a Mac into a private AI server for open-weight models, and link Thunderbolt 5 Macs to combine their memory. No release date. Unconfirmed by Apple.
