One hotkey. Four superpowers.

The same global shortcut, anywhere on your Mac. Each modality is a single keystroke deep.

Writing assistance

Drafting, editing, and tone-shifting against highlighted text. Plain language in, polished prose out — runs against your choice of frontier model.

Code help

Explain unfamiliar functions, debug stack traces from a screenshot, sketch architecture before you type. Designed for the pattern of "ask, get, ship."

Voice transcription

Press once, speak, get a clean transcript. Whisper or Deepgram backend. Useful for meeting notes, voice memos, or dictating long-form prose.

Image generation

Generate hero images, mockup variations, or quick visuals without opening Figma or a web tool. Powered by SDXL, DALL·E, or your provider of choice.

Frequently asked.

Does NotchAI work offline?

The interface is local but the model calls go to whichever provider you configure (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or your self-hosted endpoint). Voice transcription supports a local Whisper option for true offline use.

Which Macs are supported?

Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) on macOS 13 Ventura or later. Universal binary, so Intel Macs work too on the same range. We test against latest macOS within 48 hours of release.

Do I need to bring my own API keys?

Yes. NotchAI is a client app — you provide your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / OpenRouter key in settings, and we route your requests directly to them. You only pay for the app itself, not per-token usage.

What's your refund policy?

Full refund within 7 days of purchase, no questions asked. Email support and we'll process the refund the same day.

How is this different from ChatGPT's macOS app?

ChatGPT's app is single-model and single-modality. NotchAI is provider-agnostic (you pick the model) and bundles writing, coding, voice, and image generation behind one global hotkey. Plus it lives in the menu bar — no Dock icon, no tab to find.
