Yack
Overview
Yack is a MacOS app that allows users to access ChatGPT, an AI language chatbot developed by OpenAI, directly from their menu bar. It requires an Open AI key for usage.
The app is lightweight, fast, and simple, built with Rust and weighing in at less than 10 MB. Yack offers a keyboard-first design, multiple themes, and markdown support, with bullets, numbered lists, code blocks, and tables.
Additionally, Yack is designed to be a private tool that doesn't store any user data in its servers. Instead, anything that needs to be stored is kept on the user's device and never leaves it.
In addition to the current features, Yack has promised several upcoming features, including cross-app integration and searchability. Users will be able to pick context from other apps and use their own prompts with Yack, and search through their chats.
Furthermore, Yack is compatible with both the Apple Silicon and Intel chips for MacOS version 2020 and later for the former, and earlier versions for the latter.
Overall, Yack offers a seamless and convenient experience for MacOS users to utilize OpenAI's ChatGPT without having to go through a browser.

13,807164Released 1y agoFrom $29Absolutely love MindMac, I have been giving large amounts of feedback and support to help improve the app for some time now, and the only reason why I am doing that out of my own time, without any incentive is to help the community, but I also want to help this app succeed. Having small developers, like MindMac's is incredible, to create something as powerful and helpful, for users that do not need a computer science degree just to operate it I find very exciting. The developer listens and actions requests that are helpful, and reasonable, and that is something you won't get with the larger developers for months. Keep it up MindMac!
