ChatGPT Float

A simple floating overlay for AI chat services with screen capture support. Works directly with your browser—no API keys required.

Why This Exists

This app provides a lightweight way to interact with AI chat services (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) without leaving your workflow. It uses screen capture and embeds the browser directly (not an API), so you can use your existing accounts and features just like you would in a regular browser.

Features

• 🪟 Floating overlay window that stays on top
• 📸 Screen capture with one-click paste
• 🌐 Works with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini
• 🔑 No API keys needed—uses your browser session
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts for quick access

How to Use

1. Open: Press Ctrl+Shift+Space (or Cmd+Shift+Space on Mac) to toggle the chat window
2. Paste: Press Ctrl+Shift+V (or Cmd+Shift+V on Mac) to paste your captured screenshot
3. Paste Screen: The app automatically captures your screen when you open it—just paste it into the chat

Press ESC to close the window.
