Four ways Katchy
earns its menu-bar slot.
Voice in, screen out. Tiny on disk, huge on demand. Katchy is the buddy you'll forget you installed, until the day you can't live without it.
Push to
Screen aware
Sees what's
on your Mac
Katchy snaps a screenshot the moment you ask, so it answers about the thing in front of you, not the thing it's guessing about.
Cursor overlay
Points at the
answer
When the answer is in the UI, Katchy floats a friendly cursor right onto the button, field or row that matters. Less hunting, more doing.
Agent mode
Background
workers
Hand off research, code, or drafts to a tiny coworker. Katchy chips away in the background while you keep going.
Why Katchy is different
Six small reasons
you'll keep it forever.
Local-first. Tiny. Honest. Made by a crew that gives a damn about what makes a product good.
Local-first by default
Your screenshots, your conversations, your secrets all stay on your Mac. Nothing logged, nothing sold, nothing leaves the house.
Cleans your Desktop, smartly
Finally. Point Katchy at your Desktop folder and watch it sort, group and tidy your screenshots, downloads and stray PDFs into folders that make sense.
Agents that actually do things
Not just chat. Tell Katchy to rename files, draft emails, summarize meetings or open the right doc. If you can describe it in a sentence, an agent can do it for you.
Made by Rokas & Vakarė
Tiny team obsessing over what makes a product good. We ship features properly. No "coming soon" labels, no half-built tabs, no waiting list emails.
Native, fast, gloriously quiet
Built for Apple Silicon, idles at near-zero CPU, and uses the system menu bar like a polite Mac app should. No Electron, no bouncing dock icon.
The simplest AI interface in the world
Hold a key. Talk. Get an answer. Anyone can use it, instantly. Honestly more powerful than a lot of YC companies combined.
Free, forever
Tiny app.
Big useful. Zero euros.
No subscription. No trial countdown. We make money from gentle, contextual ads tucked inside the system. Small, dismissible, never mid-task.

Windows version:
grinding hard.
We are deep in the trenches porting Katchy to Windows, but the OS-level integration is fighting us. Push-to-talk, screen capture and the cursor overlay all behave very differently on Win32 + WinUI than on AppKit, and we are losing sleep to it.
If you are a C# developer who would love a fun side-project and a real chance to shape a tiny indie product, drop us a line. One reply. No NDA. No interview loop.
