Install

Download PastAi-0.2.0.dmg, open it and drag PastAi to Applications. PastAi runs from the menu bar. Press ⇧⌘V to open the clipboard, and allow Accessibility when asked, which is needed to read selected text and paste into other apps.

What's new

  • Selection toolbar. Select text in any app and a small horizontal bar appears at your cursor. It never takes focus, so your selection stays intact.
  • Extension market. 30 extensions for US and Chinese services, fetched directly from this repository, with a copy in the app for offline use.
  • AI translate. Results stream into a small popover, go straight to your clipboard, and Insert replaces the original text.
  • WhatsApp. Send the selection to a chosen contact, with optional auto-send.
  • Agent-written extensions. Describe what you want and the agent writes, tests and installs a local extension after your approval.
  • Pinned categories. Show built-in categories such as Images or Links as tabs in the panel.
  • Clearer model errors. The provider's own error code and message are shown, with a Test Connection button in settings.
  • Redesigned agent chat. Full Markdown, folded tool steps, retry, and a switcher for models.

Fixed

  • The app no longer quits when switching away from a previewed image or file in the main window.
  • Right-click menus open at the pointer instead of flipping above it near the bottom of the screen.

Extension safety

Extensions cannot run shell commands or AppleScript. They can open links and apps, call your own AI model, or compute in a JavaScript sandbox with no network or file access. See docs/EXTENSIONS.md.

安装

  • AI 翻译。 结果在小弹窗里流式显示并自动加入剪贴板,点"插入"直接替换原文。
  • WhatsApp。 把选中内容发给指定联系人,可选自动发送。

  • 固定分类。 把图片、链接等默认分类固定为面板标签页。
  • 更清楚的模型错误。 显示服务商的错误码和原文,设置里新增"测试连接"。
  • 重新设计的 Agent 聊天。 完整 Markdown、折叠工具步骤、重试和模型切换。

修复

  • 在主窗口预览图片或文件后切换条目,app 不再退出。
  • 右键菜单从光标处打开,不再在屏幕底部翻到光标上方。

组件安全

组件不能运行 Shell 命令或 AppleScript,只能打开链接和应用、调用你自己的 AI 模型,或者在没有网络和文件权限的 JavaScript 沙箱里计算。详见 docs/EXTENSIONS.md。
