AI that lives whereyou already work

Khint is a macOS menu-bar app built around three pillars: Agents, OCR, and Memory. This is the story behind it, and who makes it.

Why Khint exists

Most AI tools live in a chat window. To use them you copy text out of what you're doing, paste it into the chat, type the same instruction you typed yesterday, and paste the answer back. That's a lot of friction around a one-second task, and it resets every time, because the chat has no idea what you were working on.

Khint takes the opposite approach: the AI comes to your text. You select something in any app, press a shortcut, and your own saved prompt runs in place. A work session keeps the thread of what you're doing so every action (and every connected tool) sees the same context. Nothing is captured unless you trigger it.

Who makes it

Khint is built and operated by Mohamed-Amine Kazouini, a solo founder based in Paris, France. It's an independent product: a registered French sole proprietorship (entreprise individuelle, SIREN 102 311 560, RCS Paris), not a venture-backed team. That means decisions are made in the open and close to the people who use it.

The product is aimed first at product owners and business analysts (people who live in meetings, requirements, and tickets all day) and, more broadly, at developers, writers, and anyone who works in text. If that's you, your feedback shapes what ships next. Reach me at [email protected].

What it's built on

  • Privacy by default. Only the text you select (or capture) leaves the device, and only when you trigger an action. No background recording, no keystroke logging. See the security model.
  • Honest claims.No fake reviews, no certifications we don't hold, no benchmarks we can't back up.
  • Your tools, connected. An MCP server and direct Jira / Confluence / Linear writes mean Khint fits into the stack you already use instead of replacing it.
  • A real free tier. 10 AI actions and 5 OCR captures a day, integrations included, no trial wall.
