What is TexTab?

TexTab is a macOS app that turns any AI task into a keyboard shortcut. It allows users to create custom AI actions and trigger them instantly from any application, using their own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Perplexity, or OpenRouter. The app emphasizes privacy and local processing, with no intermediary servers.
