SnapAI

SnapAI is an AI chat and web search assistant for Mac that answers questions in a small desktop window. It is for students, developers, writers and other professionals who want quick answers without leaving their work. SnapAI needs no account or login and keeps no history, so conversations are not saved.

A keyboard shortcut opens SnapAI, the user types a question, and the assistant replies with an answer drawn from built-in web search. The window can be pinned on top of other apps while working, and closed when it is no longer needed. Images found on the web open at full size for zooming, saving, sharing or pasting into a conversation.

Beyond answering questions, SnapAI writes essays, fixes text, generates code and translates text quickly. Code arrives with syntax highlighting and can be copied with one click, saved as a file, or, for HTML, opened directly in the browser to run. Students use it for research and homework, developers for debugging code, and writers for content creation.

SnapAI is free to download, and a subscription gives unlimited access to its GPT AI features; in-app purchases are priced at $4.99 and $9.99. It runs only on Mac and requires macOS 12.4 or later. The developer, Metromedya Digital Ad Agency, states that no data is collected from the app, and the interface is available in English and 8 more languages.
