Spotlight

A floating chat bar you can summon over whatever you're doing, without switching to the app.

Summon it​

Press the Spotlight shortcut — Shift+Cmd+I on macOS, Shift+Ctrl+I on Windows/Linux (rebindable in Settings → General). A bar appears centered over your screen. Press the shortcut again, hit Esc, or click away to dismiss it.

Send a message​

Type a prompt and press Enter. The message goes to your default connection, the main window comes forward, and the conversation continues there.

Drag to screenshot​

Drag anywhere on the screen (outside the bar) to select a region. The app captures that area as a PNG and attaches it to your next Spotlight message — ask about an error dialog, a chart, a design, anything on screen. Attach several regions before sending.

macOS permission

Region capture needs Screen Recording permission. The first time you try, the app points you to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording; grant it and restart the app.

Clipboard auto-paste​

On by default (Settings → General → Clipboard auto-paste): when Spotlight opens, the current clipboard text is pre-filled into the bar so you can send or edit it immediately. Turn it off to always start empty.

Remembering position​

Drag the bar itself to reposition it; the offset is saved and restored next time.
