Most AI tools make you explain the context before they can help. Goldfish already has it. It privately remembers what you’ve been working on across your Mac, then helps you write better from any app. Press Option in a text field to draft replies, summarize threads, rewrite sentences, or recall important details from your recent work without copying, pasting, or re-explaining the whole backstory.

What's great

Goldfish is the first AI tool I’ve used that feels like it actually understands the work around the text field, not just the words inside it.

The best part is the cross-app memory. I can be in a Product Hunt review, a WhatsApp chat, a calendar tab, or a SaaS dashboard, and it can still help me write with the right context without making me copy, paste, and explain everything again.

It is especially useful for drafting replies, tightening messy thoughts, summarizing what I was just looking at, and recalling details from recent work. The fact that it works from any text field makes it feel lightweight and natural instead of like another chatbot I need to manage.

The interface is simple, the workflow is fast, and the privacy-first approach makes the whole thing much easier to trust.

What needs improvement

The main improvement I’d like to see is more visibility and control around memory. Goldfish is already strong at picking up context, but clearer ways to see what it used, edit what it remembered, and exclude certain apps or situations would make it even easier to trust.

I’d also love deeper integrations and more granular preferences over time, so the experience feels even more reliable across every app without needing much manual correction.

What's great

Goldfish has become part of my daily workflow because it removes the most annoying part of using AI at work: explaining the context every time.

It understands what I’m working on across apps, then helps me draft replies, rewrite text, summarize messy threads, and recall details without copying things back and forth. The cross-app context is the killer feature. It feels less like another chatbot and more like a memory layer that sits underneath my work.

Also love that it is local-first and privacy-focused. Huge fan of where this is going 🐠

What needs improvement

The main thing I’d love to see is even tighter control over what gets remembered and used in different contexts. The product is already very useful, but more granular memory settings, clearer visibility into what context it picked up, and easier ways to correct it when it gets something wrong would make it even stronger.

Also excited to see more integrations over time. The core workflow already works, now it’s about making it feel even more invisible and reliable across every app.

Claude by Anthropic

I still use Claude, but Goldfish solves a different problem. I chose it because it already knows the work context across my apps, so I don’t have to paste threads, explain relationships, or rebuild the whole backstory every time I need help writing or remembering something.

For me it is less of a chatbot and more of a private memory layer for work. That is what makes it stick.

What's great

It really is an extraordinary product, I can write replies, clean up drafts, and pull in the right context with my wording/language. It is also safe to use since it is not sending the information somewhere.

What needs improvement

I miss having it on my phone too. A mobile version would make the workflow even more useful when switching between desktop and quick replies on the go.

vs Alternatives

I still use other AI tools, but Goldfish solves a different problem for me. It already has the context from what I’m working on, so I don’t need to copy, paste, put in a skill or objective, explain the thread, or rebuild the background every time.

For quick replies, same conversations, and remembering recent work, that makes it much faster and convenient for me.

What's great

It learns so fast and understands exactly what I need to write. It saves me time because I don’t have to explain the context every time, and the AI memory makes replies feel much more natural and relevant.

What needs improvement

Some features still don’t work perfectly, but I don’t mind since Goldfish is still in beta and currently free. I just hope the pricing stays reasonable once it becomes paid.

vs Alternatives

Before Goldfish I used ChatGPT and Grammarly, but both felt slow for this kind of work. I had to switch tabs, copy context around, and explain what I was doing every time. Grammarly also became buggy for me in some moments. Goldfish is much faster because it works directly where I’m writing and already understands the context.

What's great

Goldfish is fantastic. I’ve been using it in my daily workflow, and its contextual understanding is genuinely impressive. It knows what I’m working on and helps me write without having to explain everything again. The AI memory feels natural, fast, and incredibly useful

What needs improvement

The dictation works really well, especially because Goldfish understands how I write and uses my memory to produce more accurate results. It feels more complete and performs better for me than MacWhisper.
The one improvement I’d really like is visual feedback while Goldfish is listening. Right now, there’s only an audio cue, so it isn’t always clear whether dictation is active. Something similar to MacWhisper’s visual indicator would make the experience much clearer

vs Alternatives

Littlebird

I used Littlebird for a while, but it never felt as smooth or easy to use as Goldfish, and its memory didn’t seem as reliable. It’s still a fantastic product, but Goldfish fits my workflow better

What's great

Goldfish is basically the “wait, what was I just doing?” layer for my workday. Perfect for people with mid-quarterly-crisis dementia, that are busy, lazy, context-switching too much, or just someone prompt AI tools a million times a day and expects it to remember the plot. :)

The best part is that it understands the messy in-between state of work, not just neat files and folders. Stuff that simply connecting integrations never would pick up on. It can recap what I was doing, help rewrite a message, or pull up the random detail I know I saw somewhere 20 minutes ago.

The thing I use most is the option function. I can write something sloppy in Slack, email, LinkedIn, or a prompt, and Goldfish turns it into something clear and useful without me having to spend extra cognitive energy on phrasing. Slightly dangerous long term because I am clearly outsourcing both creativity and execution, but extremely useful day to day. Simply excellent. Kudos.
