Apple Intelligence in the executor (macOS)
The macOS archives now include social-archiver-applefm, the same Apple Intelligence helper the desktop app bundles. On an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 26 or newer with Apple Intelligence turned on, social-archiver executor gains the apple provider: summaries, key points, glossary, reformat, translation, tag suggestions and place extraction run on the on-device model — no account, no credits, nothing leaves the Mac.

- The model holds about 4,096 tokens; a post that is too long is refused up front with a clear message.
- The helper is found next to the CLI executable — Homebrew, npm and
install.shall place it there. For a manual install keepsocial-archiverandsocial-archiver-applefmin the same directory, or pointSOCIAL_ARCHIVER_APPLEFM_HELPERat it.
Windows and Linux builds are unchanged.
