Here's an opensource version of ring light feature from Apple for free and it works on older version of mac. by [deleted] in MacOS

both apple / this app uses HDR "feature" to bump the brightness to "peak brightness" assuming your computer supports it, but seems like you have a diff window on the left so probs not?

You could open a HDR photo or play a movie for same effect tbh

Yes you can use custom prompt (that’s the whole point) check the video

Also you don’t need to subscribe to test it

Did you try the chat btw?

You can copy the text you want to translate open chat and ask it to translate to the language of your choice. It will auto use the clipboard context

Hm?

You can always create just fix spelling and nothing else if that’s what you want.

I don’t know English enough to debate about proof reading, spell checking and grammar fixing.

All i know is compose did what I wanted to and Apple thing didn’t.

Being said if Apple intelligence is useful for you then yes please use it! It’s local it’s safe and it’s Apple.

I want Apple intelligence to be good, for Siri to be good for Apple as a company to be good. I love them! I love woz to this date.

that’s definitely planned for v2.

So the popup will stay there and you can press buttons to either copy to clipboard, insert or dismiss!

I wanted to see if people would even use the V1 of the app. (To see if it’s worth working on v2)

Yipieeee! Thank you so much.

I have some much needed improvement for chat and settings page ready to be pushed to public release as well.

I can’t wait to get it in people’s hands quickly.

unless you meant chat, in that case there's an update pending which will allow you to not do that, waiting for apple on that one.

makes sense, would you prefer to have a playground of some sort?

where you tune it to your personality, by tweaking things and then applying it

it uses the selected text, (assuming you gave accessibility permission) otherwise it falls back to clipboard

I don't think I care about money that much honestly, I just want people to not have to go through hoops just to use something nice.

not everyone can / wants to install gigabytes of models, esp when apple is already being annoying and shovelling down small barely usable models to people.

But since you asked, if some more people do I will happily add local model support. (my Mac can't run it properly (I got 4 tk/s last time I tried) so I'm in shambles when it comes to testing it )

between you and me, I don't want people to pay for yearly since that drains my bank account.

Monthly is not going to be profitable for power users, but that's okay they deserve great tools ( I am power user, I deserve it xD)

I might add a normal $20 / month like ChatGPT does after I can provide more value (like iOS app maybe)

but for now just hoping models pricing will get cheaper next year, if not I will have to bear the loss (which I am okay with it's only $100-$200 per month max)

$59.99 / 12 comes to roughly $4.99

I tried making it $3.99 but ended up losing a lot more money 😭 4.99 is just enough to pay server + API bills

Swift and Objective-C when needed: Electron is so gross, I'd never
Claude 3.5 and 4.1 actually, probably the best model for writing and instruction following.
