Aries Zhou releases Howler Mac app that burns AI chat after use

Howler is an open‑source macOS app that shows AI responses in a parchment‑style letter and erases the conversation when the user presses Escape. Setup requires an AI service that can run commands, such as Claude Code, or manual configuration.

Why it matters

Consider adding an incognito AI chat mode that visually clears history, as Howler shows users expect immediate, private disposal of queries.
