Apps · questions · little tasks

Anything you can ask. Anything you can ask for.

Katchy answers questions about whatever's on your screen, and quietly runs little tasks while you keep going. A scrolling taster menu of what fits in a sentence:

Get Katchy in your menu bar.

Four modes, one hotkey. Talk to your Mac like you'd talk to a clever friend who happens to be looking at your screen.

Voice mode

Push to
talk

Squeeze the hotkey, ask anything out loud, and Katchy answers in your ear. No prompts, no typing, no tab-switching.

Screen aware

Sees what's
on your Mac

Katchy snaps a screenshot the moment you ask, so it answers about the thing in front of you, not the thing it's guessing about.

Cursor overlay

Points at the
answer

When the answer is in the UI, Katchy floats a friendly cursor right onto the button, field or row that matters. Less hunting, more doing.

Agent mode

Background
workers

Hand off research, code, or drafts to a tiny coworker. Katchy chips away in the background while you keep going.

Why Katchy

Built the way Mac apps should be.

We made the AI app we wanted to use. Local-first, native, fast, and quiet. No bouncing icons, no tracking, no nag screens.

Local-first by default

Your screenshots, your conversations, your secrets all stay on your Mac. Nothing logged, nothing sold, nothing leaves the house.

Cleans your Desktop, smartly

Finally. Point Katchy at your Desktop folder and watch it sort, group and tidy your screenshots, downloads and stray PDFs into folders that make sense.

Agents that actually do things

Not just chat. Tell Katchy to rename files, draft emails, summarize meetings or open the right doc. If you can describe it in a sentence, an agent can do it for you.

Made by Rokas & Vakarė

Tiny team obsessing over what makes a product good. We ship features properly. No "coming soon" labels, no half-built tabs, no waiting list emails.

Native, fast, gloriously quiet

Built for Apple Silicon, idles at near-zero CPU, and uses the system menu bar like a polite Mac app should. No Electron, no bouncing dock icon.

The simplest AI interface in the world

Hold a key. Talk. Get an answer. Anyone can use it, instantly. Honestly more powerful than a lot of YC companies combined.

Calling C# devs

Windows version:
grinding hard.

We are deep in the trenches porting Katchy to Windows, but the OS-level integration is fighting us. Push-to-talk, screen capture and the cursor overlay all behave very differently on Win32 + WinUI than on AppKit, and we are losing sleep to it.

If you are a C# developer who would love a fun side-project and a real chance to shape a tiny indie product, drop us a line. One reply. No NDA. No interview loop.

Email us

Tap the address to copy it. We read every message and reply personally, usually within a day.

  • C# / .NET 8 / WinUI 3
  • A Mac-feeling Windows app
  • Beer, equity, or both

Stupidly honest

More powerful than many YC companies combined.

And it's just a menu-bar app.

Hold a key, ask anything, get an answer. Less software, more superpower. Katchy listens, looks at your screen, and points at the answer in seconds. €0, today and forever.

Free forever.
Download Katchy.

Three minutes to download. Five seconds to use. Zero euros, today, tomorrow, forever.
