In plain words

Tucky is a native macOS notes app that collapses into a thin stripe at the screen edge until needed, then expands to display notes. It stores all data locally and encrypted on the user's Mac. The free version allows one note, while the Plus subscription ($12/month) adds AI capabilities, voice dictation, and connectors to calendar and email apps. The built-in AI agent can be accessed via voice command to search, write, and interact with notes without opening separate windows.

    This lets you talk to local LLMs in Apple Notes. I saw Obsidian Ollama (https://github.com/hinterdupfinger/obsidian-ollama) and thought it was handy, but I'm too lazy to migrate away from the Apple ecosystem, so I quickly hacked this together. I tend to use Notes as a scratchpad for prompts, so it's nice to do some quick inference without leaving the app. Notes doesn't really support plugins so I'm using the macOS accessibility API for reading selections and then stream responses using the clipboard (not ideal but it works).
