A macOS menu bar app that stacks voice, screenshots, copied text, and files into one seamless AI prompt — then pastes everything in order with a single ⌘V.
Works with Claude Code, Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed — anywhere you can type. No integrations. No plugins. No API keys.
🎤 Voice Input — Speak naturally. Your words are transcribed in real-time and stacked as a prompt chunk.
📋 Clipboard Capture — Any text or image you copy during a session is automatically added. No extra steps.
📸 Screenshot — ⌘⇧3 / ⌘⇧4 during a session captures directly to your shelf — no file saved to desktop.
📁 File Drop — Drag files onto the panel. Pasted as a file URL for web AI tools, or path text for terminals.
⚡ Smart Paste — ⌘V sends everything to your AI in order — voice, images, files, all at once.
🌍 Multi-language — 63 speech recognition languages. Add the ones you need from the menu.
