Katchy is a free menu-bar AI assistant for macOS. Hold Control and Option, talk, and Katchy answers questions about whatever is on your screen, routing each one to the best of GPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Four modes from one hotkey: push-to-talk voice, screen-aware answers that see what is on your Mac, a cursor overlay that points right at the answer, and background agents that handle multi-step tasks across Files, Mail, the browser, and AppleScript.

How much does Katchy cost?

Katchy is free forever with gentle in-app ads. Katchy Pro shows far fewer ads and unlocks unlimited questions and agent runs for €19.99 per month or €215.89 per year (about 10% cheaper than monthly).

Yes. Katchy is free forever, including 100 questions and 35 agent runs a month across all three AI models. Pro lifts those limits and shows fewer ads.

What do I need to run Katchy?

macOS 14.2 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, and about 860 MB of space. No account or sign-up is needed to download it.

Which AI models does Katchy use?

GPT, Claude, and Gemini. Katchy routes each question to whichever model handles it best, all from one menu-bar app.

Katchy is local-first. Transcription runs on-device where possible, and your screen is only captured when you ask for help; it never leaves your Mac unless a question needs it.
