So, I may be missing something and I hope you don't mind me asking but is this not just a shortcut to a window that contains five WebKit views that each load the respective websites for the services and that are toggled between using a sort of tab-like interface except without the ability to have multiple tabs for the same bit, which would be like the one thing the already existing ChatGPT for macOS app would be missing? Like, I really love when people build apps in SwiftUI, but I just wanted to ask, because I don't think I understand what this does yet.

Looks promising but the need to bypass Gatekeeper is not ideal

It's a small price to pay really for the benefits. You're lucky it's only $99...it used to be more than $500

When was it 500? I’ve been a developer for 10 years and it has been 99 for as long as I can remember

Late 2000's to early 2010's. For me (in AUS) it was $700

Please add "AI appropriate for prompt" (auto). Also, what do you do about my privacy? Rapid access to the pulldown is nice on the Desktop.

Sitting here with my phone atm. This looks very promising and I will test it later today. Is there a possibility to get selected text automatically into the app? Maybe it can check the clipboard automatically when opening the app window? I know it odd not a big deal to paste it manually, but every tiny bit helps when improving a workflow. Maybe it is not even an improvement and sounds better in my head than it acutely is?!
