About BoltAI
BoltAI is a native macOS AI assistant app built with SwiftUI and AppKit that provides instant access to 300+ AI models — from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Azure, Bedrock, and local models — through a single unified interface invoked via a global keyboard shortcut. It supports multimodal input (PDFs, screenshots, code, images), code execution, MCP tool integrations, reusable agents, and project-scoped multi-chat threads, making it practical for developers who need contextual AI assistance without leaving their current workflow. All chats are stored locally and never used for training; API keys can be encrypted with a user passphrase. Available as a one-time purchase and on Setapp. Alternatives: Raycast AI (AI deeply integrated into the Raycast launcher, supports OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/Grok via Pro), Elephas (macOS/iOS AI writing and knowledge management with Super Brain, works inline across apps), Macaify (native macOS system-wide AI access via shortcut with customizable prompt robots), MindMac (native Mac ChatGPT client with 150+ prompt templates and multi-provider support).
