From the sources

Use AI from the app you are already in. Select text, capture context, or speak, then get help without bouncing between windows. Create a command once, then use it everywhere. In any app on your Mac. Write a prompt, add context like selected text, app context, screenshots, OCR, or voice. Then connect tools when the job needs to act on another app. Select text and run a command, trigger a shortcut hands-free, or just open the bar and ask anything. Atua works with your text, screen, voice, Mac tools, and MCP servers. It fits the app and task you're already in. Every command can pull in live context from your Mac. Selected text, screenshots, clipboard, voice — just reference it in your prompt.…from atua.app

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
