PaletteBrain is a powerful and customizable ChatGPT app for macOS designed to bring the power of ChatGPT across all macOS apps with the press of a shortcut, helping users stop wasting time switching between windows and copying-pasting texts.

Main Features & Characteristics:

2. Customizable AI Commands: Open the AI command palette with ⌃⌘SPACE, create customized commands to automate common actions (correcting grammar, summarizing text, refactoring code, etc.), bind keyboard shortcuts to trigger them instantly, and have full control over model and creativity settings.
3. Top-Notch AI Models & Azure Support: Use the latest models from OpenAI without a ChatGPT Plus subscription by paying as you go directly to OpenAI. Also supports running experimental models and dedicated infrastructure models via native Microsoft Azure OpenAI.
4. Privacy & Safety: Private between the computer & OpenAI or Azure. Delete conversations forever with no traces left.
5. Advantages vs Other Apps: Pay once, use it forever with no app subscription fees; unlimited AI using your own OpenAI key; runs in the background without distractions; actively maintained for a bug-free experience; no tracking or data leaks.

Typical Use Cases & Workflow: Highlight the text you wish to transform -> Press ⌥SPACE to open the AI command palette -> Run a command to prompt the highlighted text in AI chat -> Press ⌘⇧↵ to paste the last reply into the original app. Built-in examples include Fix Grammar & Spelling, Translate to English, Summarize to Bullet Points, and Convert to Blog Post.
