How much does MacCopilot cost?

MacCopilot is a one-time purchase. As of the current pricing on its site, a Lifetime License costs $19.99 paid once. There is no recurring membership and no bundled model quota, so you bring your own provider accounts or run a local model.

Do I need my own API keys?

Yes. You connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and you can also point it at a local Ollama server for fully local workflows.

Is there a usage limit?

Yes. Because you supply the API keys, usage is billed directly by whichever provider you connect. MacCopilot does not resell hosted LLM access or cap you with a daily request allowance.

What permissions does it need?

MacCopilot runs as a native macOS app. The first time you use screen capture it asks for recording permission so it can read the selected screen region, and you can customize hotkeys for captures and adjust the system prompt.

Can I use several AI models at once?

You can create unlimited model profiles, mixing cloud providers such as GPT, Claude and Gemini with local Ollama models, and switch between them as your task changes.

About MacCopilot

Screen region selection and capture

Capture any rectangle of your display with adjustable selection tools and ask the AI about just that content, with no app switching or manual copying.

Bring your own AI provider

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and add as many model profiles as you need.

Local model support via Ollama

Point MacCopilot at a local Ollama server or compatible endpoint to keep screen content and prompts on your own machine.

Reusable last-selection region

Use your previous selection region for fast repeat captures and set custom hotkeys that fit your workflow.

Configurable system prompt

Adapt the assistant's behavior by editing the system prompt, and review app-level FAQ guidance for adding each provider model.

MacCopilot positions itself as a dedicated copilot for macOS rather than a cross-platform chatbot. Its workflow is visual: you draw a selection over any part of your screen, then a chat panel opens where you can ask about the captured content. This suits tasks like reviewing a UI layout, explaining an error message, summarizing a chart, or drafting a reply based on visible context.

The app is deliberately model-agnostic. Rather than hard-wiring one vendor, it lets you register multiple model profiles from OpenAI, Anthropic's Claude line, Google's Gemini family, and Azure OpenAI, plus any endpoint that speaks the OpenAI API. For privacy-conscious users it can also talk to a local Ollama server so requests never leave the machine.

Commercially, MacCopilot has moved to a simple one-time purchase model: a single Lifetime License with no recurring membership and no bundled model usage quota. Your provider bills you directly for the tokens you consume, which keeps the app cost predictable while leaving model choice in your hands. It is published by TychoStationAI.
