journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15

The highest-ROI subscription on this list if you are on macOS: AI one keystroke away in any context, plus clipboard, snippets and window management you would want anyway.

Known limitations

  • macOS-only (Windows version still catching up).
  • AI model quality depends on your plan tier.
  • Extension quality varies wildly.
