CMD+K — AI-Powered Terminal Commands, One Keystroke Away

Press a hotkey from anywhere on your desktop. Type what you want in plain English. Get a working terminal command — streamed in real-time. No plugins, no shell config, no browser tabs.

Features

System-Wide Overlay — Floating translucent command bar triggered by a global hotkey (⌘K / Ctrl+K) from any application. No dock icon, no window clutter.

Natural Language → Terminal Commands — Describe what you want. AI streams a working command back token-by-token with syntax highlighting.

Multi-Provider AI — Choose from five providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, and OpenRouter. Switch providers and models anytime from Settings.

Zero-Config Context Detection — Reads your current directory, shell type, and recent terminal output via accessibility APIs and process introspection.

Multi-Terminal Support — Terminal.app, iTerm2, Alacritty, kitty, WezTerm, VS Code, and Cursor on macOS. Windows Terminal, PowerShell, cmd.exe, and WSL on Windows.

WSL Awareness — Detects WSL sessions in Windows Terminal, VS Code, Cursor, and standalone wsl.exe. Reads your Linux working directory, identifies your Linux shell, and generates Linux-native commands.

Browser DevTools Support — Detects open DevTools in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc, Edge, and Brave. Switches to a conversational assistant mode.

Destructive Command Safety — 150+ regex patterns flag dangerous commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, git push --force, del /s /q, Stop-Service, etc.) with a red badge and AI-generated risk explanation. Full coverage across macOS, Linux, and Windows shells.

Auto-Updates — Silent background update checks with one-click install. Ed25519-signed artifacts ensure update integrity.

Secure API Key Storage — API keys stored in macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager. Never in plaintext. Never sent to the frontend.

Smart Onboarding — Step-by-step wizard for Accessibility permissions, provider selection, API key validation, and model selection.

Configurable Hotkey — Change the trigger to any key combination. Preset suggestions and a custom key recorder built in.

Draggable Overlay — Reposition the overlay by dragging it anywhere on screen.

Lightweight & Native — Tauri 2 + Rust. Menu bar utility with minimal memory footprint. No Electron.

What's New in v0.2.6

Multi-Provider AI Support — CMD+K is no longer locked to a single AI provider. Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, or OpenRouter — each with its own streaming adapter, API key validation, and secure keychain storage. Switch providers on the fly from Settings without losing your conversation context.

Provider-Aware Interface — The onboarding wizard now lets you pick your preferred provider from the start. Settings displays per-provider API key status with checkmark indicators. Models are grouped by capability tier (Fast, Balanced, Most Capable) and your last-used model is remembered per provider.

WSL Terminal Context — Full WSL awareness on Windows. CMD+K detects WSL sessions across Windows Terminal, VS Code, Cursor, and standalone wsl.exe by walking the process ancestry tree. It reads your Linux working directory, identifies your shell (bash, zsh, fish), and generates Linux-native commands — no more Windows path confusion.

VS Code & Cursor WSL Detection — A multi-signal approach identifies WSL sessions inside VS Code and Cursor using window title [WSL:] patterns, UI Automation tree walking, CWD path style analysis, and IDE-aware shell priority that correctly deprioritizes cmd.exe host processes.

Silent Auto-Updater — CMD+K now checks for updates in the background at launch and every 24 hours. When an update is available, the tray menu shows a one-click download option. Updates install automatically on quit. All update artifacts are Ed25519-signed to ensure integrity.

Updater CI/CD Pipeline — The release workflow now generates .sig signature files, assembles a latest.json manifest with per-platform keys, and uploads signed updater artifacts alongside every GitHub Release.
