AIPointer v1.0.0

The AI cursor companion. Hold a key, ask a question, get an answer about whatever your cursor is pointing at.

og

Highlights

  • Cursor-anchored AI. Hold Right-Cmd on macOS or Right-Ctrl on Windows / Linux, a glassmorphism box opens beside your cursor with a screenshot of the surrounding region as context. Vision-capable LLM answers about what you're looking at.
  • Multi-provider. OpenRouter (recommended, single key, automatic routing), or direct Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini keys. Per-provider Test button with live credit balance for OpenRouter.
  • Voice in and voice out. Microphone input with auto-stop on silence. Text-to-speech read-aloud. Optional voice-first conversation mode for hands-free follow-up loops.
  • Region screenshots. Hold the trigger key again while the box is open and drag a rectangle to ask about an exact region.
  • Six built-in tools. Fetch URL, open URL, copy, save document, reveal in Finder, read clipboard. All action tools gated behind a green-check / red-x approval.
  • Ten templates. /summary, /brief, /translate, /explain, /code, /improve, /define, /solve, /reply, /identify. Plain prose works too, intent auto-detected across languages.
  • Save the answer. A4-styled HTML, PDF, or Markdown. Print-ready.
  • Auto-updater. Quiet daily check, prompt on restart when an update is ready. Disable in Settings.
  • Local-first. No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting. API keys stored in your OS keychain via Electron safeStorage.

First run

  1. Download for your OS at aipointer.app.
  2. On macOS, grant Accessibility (for the global key listener) and Screen Recording (for the cursor-region screenshot) when prompted.
  3. Settings panel opens automatically. Paste an API key. Get one at openrouter.ai/keys, console.anthropic.com, platform.openai.com, or aistudio.google.com/apikey.
  4. Hold Right-Cmd (macOS) or Right-Ctrl (Windows / Linux) anywhere, ask a question, press Enter.

Privacy

Screenshots and clipboard text go only to the LLM provider you configured. Nothing else leaves your machine. API keys live in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI, Linux libsecret) via Electron safeStorage. The auto-updater fetches a static JSON file from aipointer.app/updates/latest.json, no identifier included.

Tech

Electron 30, React 18, TypeScript 5, Tailwind 3, Framer Motion, Vite 5, uiohook-napi for the global hook, sharp for image processing, native fetch for every LLM provider.

What it isn't

Not a long-running autonomous agent. For multi-step automation, computer-use, persistent goals, and complex workflows, use Skales, same author, same design philosophy, much bigger scope.
