One active session keeps your work in context. Run your custom prompts on top, and let Claude Desktop, ChatGPT or Codex read the same context over MCP. Three steps, one shortcut away.

Start a session

Toggle Memory on. Khint summarizes what you're working on into a compact context. It stays on your device.

Run your prompts

Select text in any app, hit ⌘⇧K, fire your Action. Your session goes with the prompt, so Claude sees the whole picture.

Plug your AI tools in

Claude Desktop, ChatGPT and Codex read the same session over MCP. They see your context, and can write back into it.

The everyday surface, on every plan.

One shortcut to reach everything, screen capture, and a searchable trail of what you've run.

Palette

One shortcut (⌘⇧K), every Action and Workflow. Pin favorites, jump back to recents, launch capture from the same list.

Changelog

Khint on Windows

The full three-pillar Khint experience now runs on Windows 10 22H2+ alongside macOS 13+. Same palette, same Agents, same OCR, same Memory. Packs, action history, and your Premium subscription follow your account across both. Integration credentials, API keys, and Memory sessions stay on each device — by design.

MAY 13, 2026

OCR & chat-capture with no API key required

OCR and chat-capture now run through a server-side Vision proxy backed by the project's Anthropic key. Skip the BYOK step in onboarding and screen reading just works. A personal key in the keychain still wins as an offline fallback.

MAY 10, 2026

Settings → MCP: one toggle per integration

The MCP page got a uniform pattern. Claude Desktop, Codex, Atlassian, and Linear all flip the same way: one toggle that handles install or credential capture, with a clean Edit / Disconnect path once connected.

How Khint compares.

Why does Khint maintain a Memory session?

Most AI features only see the text you select right now. That's not enough for real desktop work — you also need what came before. Khint keeps a lightweight session of what you're doing (meeting notes, drafts, code, OCR captures) and auto-attaches a compact summary to every prompt, so your Action sees the full context. The session lives in local SQLite on your device, and is exposed read+write to Claude Desktop over MCP — your other AI tool sees the same context.

How is Khint different from Raycast?

Both live behind a keyboard shortcut, but Khint is AI-first: AI text actions on selected text are the core feature, OCR is bundled, and a Memory session feeds your active work context into every AI prompt. Khint also exposes an MCP server so Claude Desktop can read your active session — Raycast doesn't. Free 10 actions/day + 5 OCR/day, Premium €9.99/mo for unlimited.

How is Khint different from Apple Intelligence Writing Tools?

Apple Intelligence covers a fixed set of single-shot rewrites in supported apps. Khint runs in any app on Mac or Windows, lets you author your own prompts, bundles them as Packs, and chains up to 5 prompts in series. Plus a screen-to-text OCR shortcut and a Memory session that gives Claude your active work context over MCP.

Does Khint send my text to the cloud?

Only the text you select when you trigger an AI Action — and only at that moment — is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for the rewrite. OCR captures the screen on-device, then sends the image to Anthropic's Claude Vision API for text extraction; nothing is stored on Anthropic's side beyond the call. Memory sessions live in a local SQLite file. Cloud sync is opt-in via sign-in. See /security for the full data-flow.
