First public build of caipcopy → AI → paste.

A tiny native macOS menubar app: select any text, press a hotkey, get AI-rewritten text pasted back in place. Backed by OpenRouter.

Highlights

  • Menubar only glyph, no Dock icon, no Electron, ~1.9 MB bundle.
  • Per-action hotkeys⌃⌥⇧⌘ in any combination, plus standalone F-keys. Recorder uses a CGEvent tap so it captures even combinations another app has claimed globally.
  • OpenRouter — 350+ models. Sort by price, context, or recency. One global default model.
  • Prompt placeholders{selectedText} (or {s}) is substituted before the request fires.
  • Floating Toast notifications instead of blocking modals.
  • macOS 15+ · Apple Silicon.

Install

  1. Download caip.zip below, double-click to expand, drag caip.app to /Applications.
  2. Launch. macOS will warn — right-click the app and choose Open the first time (ad-hoc signed).
  3. Open the menubar Settings… → paste your OpenRouter key → grant Accessibility when asked.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/sliday/caip.git
cd caip && bash build.sh
open build/caip.app

Notes

  • Ad-hoc signed. The Accessibility permission may need re-granting each time you rebuild from source — use Settings → OpenRouter → ⋯ → Reset & re-grant to clear stale TCC entries.
