Hold Option while dragging any file in Finder and a radial menu appears under your cursor. Drop it on Rename, Summarize, Extract Text, Transcribe, or Explain and the result lands next to the original, with Undo in the menu bar. Everything runs on-device with Apple's models in macOS 26: no account, no upload, no telemetry. Needs no Accessibility permission. 25 free actions, then a one-time purchase.

Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and wrapper logic around native macOS APIs are straightforward, hooking Finder drag-and-drop globally and orchestrating local ML models reliably requires specific macOS native systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/Objective-C targeting macOS using AppKit and Accessibility/CoreGraphics event taps to intercept global mouse drag events while the Option key is held. Actions are powered by Apple's on-device frameworks (Vision, Speech, Foundation Models/Natural Language, QuickLook) and local CLI tools. The primary challenge is building a robust, low-latency overlay window and managing file access sandbox permissions outside standard app containers.
