The headline is the native Mac application. I spent most of the day getting magic-unicorn-outreach ready for local execution. The core feature is the MLX local LLM integration. It runs locally. I added the MLX service, the Keychain service, and the search services. The app uses a local database and talks to the backend API. It is a complete lead generation client for macOS.

I also fixed the API mismatch. The backend PaginatedResponse field names did not match the Swift models. I aligned the Lead model with the backend API response. This touched four files.

The Mac app is the main event. It is a native client. It uses local LLMs. It supports multiple search providers. It stores data locally. It talks to the backend. It is a complete solution for lead generation.

The scraper update is a bonus. It handles PDFs. It handles complex pages. It uses Trafilatura. It uses pdfplumber. It is robust.

The deployment config is the glue. Four targets. Sixty-seven files. It connects the backend, the Mac app, and the scraper. It ensures everything works together.

The day was productive. The Mac app shipped. The scraper improved. The deployment is ready. The docs are clear.

I am happy with the progress. The Mac app is a significant step forward. It is local. It is private. It is fast. The scraper is a useful addition. It handles the hard cases. The deployment config is solid. It supports all platforms.

The day added up to a shipped Mac app and a robust scraper. The future is local and private. The work is done.
