# Chapeta

> Native Mac AI assistant with 300+ models and real Mac tools in one menu bar app.

Chapeta is a macOS menu bar application that provides instant access to 300+ AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, and image generators like Nano Banana, through a single global hotkey (double-tap Option). Unlike browser-based AI tools, Chapeta overlays your current window and executes real actions on your Mac: terminal commands, file operations, web search with citations, file discovery and content search, and screenshot analysis.
