Catch what's worth keeping.
Magpie is a Mac menu-bar studio: ask AI in any app, design and render on a canvas, keep notes that stay yours, transcribe without uploading. One hotkey away, wherever you're working.
Free while in beta · macOS · On-device first
AI tools are everywhere. Magpie puts one everywhere you are.
Ask · anywhere
Ask anything. In any app.
One hotkey summons a floating bar over whatever you're doing — Mail, Slack, your editor, a PDF. The window you're looking at becomes the context.
- Sees what you see. The frontmost window, your selection, your clipboard — each a removable chip.
- Answers as Markdown, with one-tap Sparks: Summarize, Key Points, Draft Reply, Translate…
- Insert types the answer straight back into the app you came from. esc and you're back to work.
Canvas
A design canvas that renders itself.
Sketch a concept board — shapes, text, arrows, images. Write a prompt. Magpie renders the whole composition through Euryka's image models.
Design
Render
Your concept board — shapes, text, arrows.
Notes + AI Edit
Plain Markdown. Real AI assist.
Every note is a .md file in a folder you choose — no database, no lock-in. The editor previews as you type: tables, code, checklists.
- Quick Note catches a thought without stealing focus.
- AI Edit shows its work as a side-by-side diff — see every change before you accept.
- If Magpie disappeared tomorrow, you'd still have your folder of clean Markdown.
Transcribe
Audio in. Minutes out.
Drop in a recording; Whisper runs on your Mac — no upload, no usage cap. Then flip the transcript into a summary, action items, or meeting minutes, also on-device.
Everything else
And the whole utility belt.
The small tools you reach for ten times a day — done properly, in one place.
Speed Dial
Nine slots for folders, files, apps and URLs. Hotkey, ⌘1–9, gone.
Web Capture
Full-page captures — including inner scrollers and behind sign-ins.
Menu-bar HQ
No Dock icon, no clutter. Every feature two clicks from the status bar.
Screenshots
Screen, window, region — or just the text inside a region, OCR'd to your clipboard.
Color Picker
Sample any pixel; the value lands on your clipboard in your format — hex to SwiftUI.
Window Snapping
Halves, quarters, exact custom sizes — each bindable to its own hotkey.
The promise
What stays on your Mac, stays on your Mac.
On-device by default
Transcription, summaries, minutes, notes edits, screenshot OCR — all local models. Your audio and text never leave the machine unless you ask.
Cloud only when you ask
Image renders and deep research route through Euryka Cloud — because they need capability a laptop can't serve. You always see which calls go where.
