One gesture · two daily actions

Read less. Understand more.

Summary and Translation are always available on every captured item. Set a default, then switch whenever the job changes.

01 / SUMMARY

Turn the long version into the useful version.

Short or detailed. In the source language or one of twelve output languages. Add your own instructions when the default is not enough.

  • Short or long
  • Markdown output
  • Custom instructions

Three decisions from the meeting

Ship the onboarding refresh Friday. Keep the current provider flow. Move plugin polish to the next release.

02 / TRANSLATION

Your translator follows you.

ContextAI detects the source language, preserves Markdown and structure, and translates to the language you actually use.

Made for everyday use

Small trigger. Full product.

The gesture stays simple. Everything behind it—from content detection to persistent history—is built for work you repeat every day.

01

More than selected text.

ContextAI understands the whole clipboard payload and keeps useful source metadata for the AI.

02

Use the AI you already pay for.

Sign in with ChatGPT or bring an OpenAI, OpenRouter, Gemini, or Claude API key.

03

A history worth keeping.

Original source, application, content type, provider metadata, Summary and Translation survive restarts. Results render as selectable Markdown and copy in one click.

04

Quiet while it thinks.

A compact indicator stays under the notch. The full result opens only when it has something to show.

05

Send useful results onward.

Copy Markdown or publish from the result through focused Notion and Obsidian plugins.

06

Your gesture, your defaults.

Choose Summary or Translation as the default, tune the double-copy interval, and record a global shortcut. Both actions always remain available.

07

Clipboard-aware. Not keyboard-aware.

No Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission. Credentials live in macOS Keychain and history stays in local Application Support.

  • No global key logger
  • Local persistent history
  • Keychain credentials
08

At home in macOS.

Native onboarding, a Finder “Summarize with ContextAI” Service, menu-bar access, trackpad back navigation, and a floating mode for displays without a notch.

How it works

The shortcut you already know.

No new capture workflow to memorize. ContextAI reacts to a normal Copy gesture and stays compact until the result is ready.

  1. 01

    Select

    Highlight text—or copy a supported file or image—in the app you are using.

  2. 02

    Copy twice

    Press ⌘C twice within your configured interval. ContextAI starts the default action.

  3. 03

    Keep moving

    Read, copy, switch action, revisit History, or publish to a configured plugin.
