Hi there 👋

I'm Sintone, the dev behind this. I don't want to list features or grand visions here. I just want to share the initial idea behind this app.

I often pick up my phone to do something, then start scrolling Twitter, and... completely forget what I wanted to do. I realized it's not that my memory is bad, but the act of unlocking my phone interrupts my train of thought and dilutes my memory.

When using AI tools now, sometimes I just want to translate a sentence or polish some text, but I have to switch to the AI tool, paste, wait for results, and switch back. This process often ends up either interrupting my thoughts, making me forget what to write next, or the time spent switching and copy-pasting takes longer than the AI processing itself.Switching apps = interrupts focus + wastes time. It's somewhat the root of all evil for these simple tasks.

Actually, this isn't my first time thinking about "focus". When I made CleanClip (clipboard manager), I displayed the copy history right at the input position, no app switching, eyes don't move, thoughts don't break.

So when building Macaify, I created In Context Mode: Select → Shortcut → Done. No app switching, no extra thinking, no interruption.AI should be integrated into your workflow, not become another destination to jump to. Of course, I also provide the chat mode everyone has. The slight difference is that selected content stays pinned at the top as discussion context.

I also want to try these: True Agent — custom workflows, multiple nodes working together; Knowledge Base — not just using it, but also adding valuable ideas from chats;Tool calling — quickly add calendar events, capture ideas, write emails; and richer context: what app you're using, what webpage you're on, what your window looks like... Honestly, I'm not sure which of these ideas will actually be useful or what they'll become.

But if you've also been bothered by "switching" and "distraction", welcome to try it together.

Macaify is open source and free, code is on GitHub. If you don't want to deal with compilation and configuration, you can use the Free plan to use some models for free. Or subscribe to Pro / Pro+ — I'll keep tracking the latest and most powerful AI models and let you use them first.

If anything here helps you, I'd be very happy.

I'm on Twitter, feel free to reach out.
