Turn any AI task into a keyboard shortcut.

Website · Issues · Twitter

TexTab is a macOS menu bar app that lets you trigger AI-powered text actions with a keyboard shortcut. Select text in any app, press Cmd+Shift+T, pick an action — done.

Your API key, your model. No subscriptions, no middlemen.

• Custom actions — create unlimited prompts, each with its own shortcut
• Multiple providers — OpenAI, Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, Perplexity
• Plugins — Chat, QR Generator, Image Converter, Color Picker
• Privacy first — your API key talks directly to the provider
• Works everywhere — any app, any text field
