Ctrome - Your AI sidekick for everything you do on Mac

by•
Ctrome lives quietly on your Mac and turns any selection into an AI action — translate, rewrite, save to smart notes, or recall later in plain English. No tab switching, no copy-pasting. What's new: - Clipboard history with AI search - Screenshot OCR — extract text from any image - Lofi AI Radio — a chill room with a virtual DJ to keep you company while you work Built by one dev tired of switching to Chrome for every small thing.

I'm the solo developer behind Ctrome. I built it because I was tired of doing the same thing 50 times a day — selecting text, opening Chrome, pasting into ChatGPT/DeepL/Photopea, copying back. That workflow is broken. Ctrome is my attempt to fix it. It sits on your Mac and turns any text selection into an AI action with one shortcut: - Smart notes that you can recall in plain English ("that thing about Rust ownership I read last week") - Translate, rewrite, OCR from screenshots - Clipboard history with semantic search - And a Lofi AI Radio room for when you need company at 2am This is a relaunch — since the first version, I've shipped clipboard history, screenshot OCR, and the AI radio. The radio went from idea to live in half a day (built with Claude Code). Free to try. Would love your feedback — what's the one thing on your Mac you'd want an AI sidekick for?
