Mac users who want a seamless AI chat assistant that integrates with any app to speed up writing, coding, editing, summarizing, and problem-solving by providing context-aware AI help right on their desktop
About Onit
Onit is an open source desktop AI assistant that lives on your Mac and integrates an AI chat sidebar and keyboard to help you interact with large language models without leaving your workflow, letting you highlight text in any app and instantly get AI assistance without copy-pasting or switching windows. It supports multi-provider AI model integration so you can choose from major models via API or run models locally for privacy, and it automatically uses the content from your active window or selected text as context for smarter, more relevant responses. Onit offers customizable hotkeys to launch the assistant, drag-and-drop file uploads for added context, chat history for reviewing past interactions, and privacy controls so your data stays on your machine unless you choose otherwise. The interface lets you edit AI responses, retry parts of results, and refine suggestions to match your preferences. Designed to work with any Mac application, Onit boosts productivity for tasks.
