Platform Features
Core capabilities of Vehla
Command palette launcher with hotkey access
Launch apps and search files from a single keyboard shortcut (⌘Space) without leaving the current window. Agencies can train clients to consolidate app-switching friction into one gesture, reducing context loss during creative work.
QuickGlass inline AI actions
Run on-device AI operations (summarize, rewrite, explain, reply) beside selected text without copying or opening a new window. Clients stay in their focused app while AI processes content, maintaining workflow continuity.
Flow system-wide dictation
Dictate text directly into any focused macOS app using on-device speech processing. Eliminates the need for separate dictation tools and works across all applications without copy/paste steps.
SnapWheel gesture-based window control
Manage window snapping, resizing, and AI actions via cursor-centered radial menu. Reduces reliance on keyboard shortcuts and mouse dragging for window management, speeding up multi-monitor workflows.
Local clipboard history with indexing
Store and retrieve clipboard history with local search indexing, letting users find text, code, URLs, images, or email snippets copied hours earlier. Eliminates the need for standalone clipboard managers.
Shelf temporary working memory
Drop files, images, folders, and links into a temporary holding area and retrieve them later without managing folders or email drafts. Useful for creative workflows where assets need to be staged before final assembly.

Bottom Line
Vehla consolidates 14+ macOS utilities (launcher, clipboard, window manager, dictation, OCR, notes) into a single command palette with on-device AI processing, eliminating the need for separate apps. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and local models like Ollama and MLX, letting agencies choose their AI provider. Best suited for Mac-based creative agencies and small to mid-sized teams prioritizing tool consolidation and on-device privacy. The one-time $29.99 USD Pro license covering two Macs makes it a low-friction resale candidate for client productivity retainers, though white-label positioning is limited.
Reality Check
Vehla is macOS-only, so Windows-using clients or mixed-OS teams cannot adopt it. There is no verified white-label program, meaning client-facing surfaces display the Vehla brand rather than agency branding, limiting positioning as a fully custom solution.
Moderate effort: standard configuration with some customization needed

The commercial case before the tooling.
Core concepts
The mental model you need to price and scope the work.
- Visible Artifact, Invisible ProcessConcept
AI productivity tools are the lowest-leverage category for agency revenue because clients can self-serve in minutes. The strategic angle is bundling them into a workflow redesign engagement where the tool is the visible artifact, but the billable work is the process design that surrounds it. This framework reframes the tool as a Trojan horse for higher-margin consulting. For example, an agency might deploy Calendly with AI scheduling for a client, but the real value is redesigning the client's intake and follow-up processes to reduce no-shows by 20%. The tool is the entry point; the process is the profit. Agencies that sell the tool alone compete on price; those that sell the process own the relationship.
- Artifact Over ArchitectureConcept
AI productivity tools are the lowest-leverage category for agency revenue because clients can self-serve in 90 seconds. The strategic value lies not in the tool itself but in the workflow redesign that surrounds it. Agencies that sell the tool as a standalone line item compete on price against direct subscriptions. Those that frame the tool as the visible artifact of a broader process engagement capture margin on the architecture: intake workflows, approval gates, and escalation paths. For example, a scheduling assistant like Calendly becomes the artifact, while the agency's real deliverable is the meeting-to-delivery pipeline it designs around it. With 45% of executives skipping AI oversight, agencies that bundle governance into the redesign answer a compliance need clients cannot solve alone. The tool is the hook; the process is the product.
- Visible Artifact, Billable ProcessConcept
AI productivity tools are the lowest-leverage category for agency revenue because clients can self-serve in minutes. The strategic angle is to treat the tool as a visible artifact while the billable work is the process design that surrounds it. For example, an agency might deploy Calendly for a client, but the real engagement is redesigning the meeting-to-delivery workflow, defining routing rules, and integrating calendar intelligence with project management. This framework shifts the agency from reselling software to selling operational transformation, where the tool is the proof of work, not the product. Recent research shows that 88% of B2B marketers face foundational gaps as AI agents reshape buyer discovery, making process design more critical than ever.
Decision and risk
How to judge the fit, and the ways it goes wrong.
- AI Productivity Rule: Sell the Redesign, Not the ToolEvaluation Rule
Bundle any AI productivity tool into a workflow redesign engagement where the tool is the visible artifact and the process design is the billable work.
- AI Productivity Rule: Price the Workflow, Not the SubscriptionEvaluation Rule
Sell a workflow redesign engagement where the AI tool is the visible artifact, and price the process design, not the license.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about pricing, setup, implementation
Vehla is a native macOS command center that replaces 14+ separate utility apps by combining a launcher, clipboard manager, window manager, dictation tool, OCR, notes, and AI processing into one interface. It runs on-device AI by default and supports optional connections to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and local models like Ollama. Users access all features from a single hotkey (⌘Space) or gesture-based controls, eliminating app-switching friction.
Vehla offers 1 pricing tier, at $29.99 one-time (Vehla Pro). Agencies typically achieve 33% profit margins when reselling to clients.
No verified white-label program exists. Client-facing surfaces display the Vehla brand, so you cannot present a fully custom-branded solution to end clients. This limits positioning as a premium white-label productivity tool, though the low one-time cost makes it viable as a co-branded productivity add-on.
Yes. Vehla natively supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter as cloud AI providers. It also supports local models via Ollama, LM Studio, and MLX. Users can switch between providers without changing their workflow, and Vehla sits above the model layer so AI actions (summarize, rewrite, explain, reply) work consistently regardless of which provider is active.
Setup is minimal: download the Vehla app, activate the Pro license (one-time $29.99 USD per two Macs), and optionally connect an AI provider account (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.). Most clients can be onboarded in under 10 minutes once the license is purchased. No complex multi-tenant configuration is required.
Vehla works best for Mac-based creative agencies (design studios, video production, copywriting), small to mid-sized agencies seeking tool consolidation, and teams prioritizing on-device privacy. It is also suitable for freelance writers, designers, and researchers who use multiple macOS utilities daily and want a unified command center.
No. Vehla is native macOS only and requires Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. Windows users cannot run Vehla, so it is not suitable for mixed-OS teams or Windows-only client bases.
Vehla Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so there is no recurring billing to cancel. Once purchased, the license remains active on the two registered Macs with free updates for life. If a client stops using Vehla, they simply stop launching the app; no data recovery or offboarding process is required.
