The software also supports silent AI commands that modify selected text directly within other applications. Additional features include text snippets, shell scripts, calculator functions, and configurable keyboard shortcuts. Its extension system supports Model Context Protocol integrations and scheduled background tasks. Built with Rust, Tauri, and Svelte, Asyar is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux with local data storage and encryption.
