Pal sees your screen and answers right where you're looking. Ask by typing, by talking, or by circling the thing you're stuck on. It even points at the button you need.

Pal stays out of the way in your menu bar until you need it. Every question comes with a fresh look at your screen.
A small panel opens next to your cursor. Ask anything about what's on screen and follow up as long as you like.
Hold Control + Option and speak. Your words appear in an island at the top of the screen, and the answer shows up there when you let go.
Draw around a chart, an error, a word, or a photo. Press Return to have it explained, or ask something specific.
Pal uses Google's Gemini models with your own API key, so there's no account to make.
Pal only looks when you ask. Screenshots are taken at the moment you press a shortcut, never in the background.
Your data goes straight to Google, not to us. Your question and screenshots are sent directly from your Mac to the Gemini API using your own key. Pal has no servers, no analytics and no accounts. Google's handling is covered by the Gemini API terms. Note that on the free tier, Google may use what you send to improve its products. Use a key with billing enabled if you'd rather it didn't.
Speech stays on your Mac wherever macOS supports on-device recognition. Your API key is kept in your macOS Keychain.
