# Apple Intelligence, on your terms
Choose which Apple Intelligence features stay on your Mac, then remove models
you no longer need. Pared includes a native app, terminal wizard, and Nix
modules. System Integrity Protection stays enabled.
## Keep what you use
Keep Writing Tools, turn off Genmoji, or switch everything off. Pared keeps
shared models needed by features in its catalog that you leave on or unmanaged.
## A few choices, then a review
1. **Choose your features.** Set each one to On, Off, or App Default. A new
 policy starts with everything off; review your choices before saving
2. **Finish setup.** Install Pared’s configuration profile in System Settings.
 It applies supported controls and blocks unwanted model downloads
3. **Review model removal.** Pared shows which models can go before you
 confirm. Saving feature settings and removing models are separate actions
Want a feature back? Turn it on, install the updated profile, then request its
models in Pared. For features Pared can’t download directly, use their Apple
app.
## Use
Open Pared or run `pared wizard`. Opening either changes nothing; feature
choices stay in a draft until you save.
See the app manual or command-line
guide for setup and commands.
### Configure it with Nix
Use the nix-darwin or Home Manager module to manage your choices. Both remove
eligible models during activation by default; set
`programs.pared.cleanupOnActivation = false;` to opt out. Install the generated
profile in System Settings to block future downloads.
See the Nix setup guide and
option reference.
## Build from source
With Xcode 27 or newer, run from this checkout:
 [code] 
For CLI and offline installation, see the command-line
guide.
## How it works
Pared uses Apple’s asset service to remove models. Read how profiles and model
removal work for the implementation and compatibility
limits.
