What is PaletteBrain?

PaletteBrain is a macOS app that brings ChatGPT's power directly into any application or website via a keyboard shortcut. Developed by a small team focused on productivity, it solves the problem of constantly switching between windows and copying-pasting text to use AI. Core capabilities include running AI commands on selected text, creating custom prompts, and using OpenAI or Azure OpenAI models. It fits workflows for writers, developers, marketers, and anyone who frequently uses AI to transform text. The app offers a one-time purchase model, avoiding recurring fees, and supports bring-your-own API key. Users can fix grammar, translate, summarize, or generate content without leaving their current app. PaletteBrain is designed for macOS users who want seamless AI integration without disrupting their flow.
