A native ChatGPT launcher for your Mac, one hotkey away
Hit a global hotkey to open a floating chat panel over any app, ask a question, and drop the answer back into your document or field without switching windows.
Select a text snippet, chat about it, and insert the improved version back into your app with a single keystroke.
Grab a screen region with a hotkey and ask ChatGPT to explain, transcribe, or describe what is shown in it.
Save frequently used prompts as reusable templates with blank fields, so repetitive writing tasks like emails or blog drafts take seconds.
One native Mac workspace for hundreds of AI models
Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Azure, Amazon Bedrock and local Ollama or LM Studio models without changing applications.
Build reusable agents with custom instructions, knowledge and tools, organise work into projects and multi-chat threads, and branch a chat to compare alternative answers.
Attach PDFs, documents and screenshots, use the screen-capture-to-answer flow, and get summaries, explanations or structured data extraction from vision-capable models.
Connect local and remote MCP servers, enable code execution and attached knowledge, while chats stay on-device and API keys can be passphrase-encrypted.
