Vidix

Vidix is a macOS automation tool that integrates AI to help users get information and perform tasks without leaving their current app. It works across all macOS apps by selecting text, then using a Vidix shortcut to fetch a response and paste it where needed. The tool emphasizes local processing options and direct connections to AI providers, aiming to streamline workflows for creative and productive tasks.

Vidix captures context from the user’s environment and sends it to AI models to generate responses. It then pastes the results back into the document, optionally replacing the original text, typing characters, or opening the editor. The workflow is designed to minimize interruptions and maintain focus while leveraging AI capabilities.

Vidix offers features for discovering prompts and agents via a central palette, a safe editor buffer for iterative adjustments, and a multimodal image assistant. It supports centralized control over providers, prompts, and shortcuts, while emphasizing transparency about action progress and error handling.

Vidix supports licensing and plan management, options for local and cloud models, and privacy controls. It highlights processor modes like local Ollama models for offline use, encrypted API keys in the macOS keychain, and logs stored locally with user control to delete them.
