Mac Utility
Tiny AI searches, then gone.
Quickie is a small menu bar app I made for the throwaway questions that do not deserve a new browser tab, a new chat, or a permanent place in history.

How do I move a file with Terminal?
Use mv source destination. Example: mv notes.txt ~/Desktop/.
The Problem
Micro-searches make a macro mess.
Some questions are too small for the ceremony around modern AI chat.
- A new tab is friction.Opening the browser, finding the right chat, and waiting for the page breaks the flow for a two-line answer.
- Temporary chats still feel heavy.They solve history clutter, but creating one for every tiny command or syntax check is still a ritual.
- Regular chats become noisy.History fills with random one-off searches like file commands, quick fixes, tiny wording checks, and small reminders.
How It Works
Summon, ask, escape.
Quickie stays out of the Dock and lives in the menu bar. It only appears when you ask for it.
1Press Option + Q.A small search bar appears instantly, without switching apps or opening a browser.
2Use your own API key.Open Settings from the menu bar, add an OpenAI-compatible key, save it, and start asking.
3Press Escape.The window vanishes and the conversation is gone. No saved chats, no remembered history.
Built for the questions you do not want to keep.
Quickie is local, light, and intentionally forgetful. The download button is here for the page structure; the Mac build will be attached when it is ready.
