> We built this because we believe: Universal Access: AI assistants should be accessible from anywhere on my computer, not just in the browser or in specific apps.

I find this somewhat ironic, given that the software only supports Apple computers. It would have been nice for OP to mention this fact upfront in the announcement, so as not to get non-Apple users' expectations up too soon.

Addressed towards the end of the post:

"Why not Linux or Windows? Gotta start somewhere! If the reception is positive, we’ll work hard to add further support."

As you can see from the commit log, we have 3 people working on this. So we're quite limited in what we can take on. That said, our belief holds and we'd love to support Linux and Windows.

I had "MacOS" in my original title, but HN limits titles to 80 characters!

It would be nice if the README made it clear toward the top that this is Mac software. The screenshot and mention of Xcode give that vibe of course, but I kept reading anyway and felt a bit bummed to only confirm at the end.

Looks like a cook project and wishing y'all the best. Let us know if and when the Linux support drops :)
