⌥
Right Option
Tap the key
Press Right Option once, from any app. A small bar slides up at the bottom of your screen and starts listening. It takes a picture of the window you're on.
Never take a
screenshot again.
Tap a key, say what you need, tap it again. Noss sends your words and the window in front of you to Claude or ChatGPT. You never leave the app you're in.

Screenshots take eight steps.
Noss takes two.
The screenshot way
- Press ⌘⇧4 and drag a box
- Find the file on your desktop
- Switch to your browser
- Find the right chat
- Drag the screenshot in
- Type out your question
- Send it
- Switch back and find your place
The Noss way
- ⌥Tap, then say it out loud
- ⌥Tap again
You never leave the window you're in. The question shows up in your chat in the background, with the window attached.
Tap. Talk. Tap.
Say what you need
Ask the way you'd ask someone sitting next to you. Copy a few lines of code or a paragraph while you talk, and it comes along too.
Sent to a new Claude chat
Tap it again
That's the send. Or just say “send it.” There's a short beat before it goes, so esc can still stop it.
Works the way you already do.
margin: 0 auto;
display: grid;
place-items: center;

Copy and paste still works
Copy anything while the bar is open and it goes in as text, formatting intact. Code stays code.
…in my resume chat→Resume
Say which chat
Every question starts a new chat. Say “in my resume chat” and it goes there instead, and keeps going there until you say “new chat.”
Your chatbot, your account
Claude or ChatGPT, in Safari or Chrome. Noss types into your tab in the background, so the browser never jumps in front of you.

- One window, never your whole screen
- No account, no servers
Stays on your Mac
The mic is only on while the bar is open. Password managers are never captured. Nothing goes out until you tap.

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. No account and no card. It uses the Claude or ChatGPT account you already have, so messages count against your normal plan.
What do I need?
A Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and Claude or ChatGPT open in Safari or Chrome.
Is it always listening?
No. The mic turns on when you tap the key and off when you send or cancel. Speech is turned into text on your Mac, never on a server.
What exactly gets sent?
Your words (minus the “um”s and the commands), anything you copied, and the window screenshots. Hover a thumbnail in the bar to see it, click × to drop it.
Something isn't working.
Click Get help below and tell me what happened. If you can, attach ~/Library/Logs/Noss.log. It only has timings and errors, never what you said.
Stay where you are.
Ask about anything on your screen without leaving it.
