What is Vidix?
Vidix is a Mac productivity tool that automates AI tasks directly within any application. Users select text anywhere on their Mac—such as in Mail, Slack, Notes, browsers, or code editors—and trigger a shortcut to send it to AI models for processing. The AI response then appears instantly in place, without copy-paste or app switching, keeping workflows seamless.
Key features include the Palette (⌘⇧K) for searching recipes, prompts, and agents; an Editor for safe iterative refinements; Image Assistant for visual AI tasks like interpretation and generation; and Settings for managing providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Ollama. It supports local processing for privacy, real-time status updates, and customizable insertion methods like replace, type-by-type, or editor preview.
Vidix targets Mac users seeking to boost productivity, developers for code reviews (security, performance, tests), professionals handling meeting notes or emails, and anyone needing quick AI assistance without disrupting focus. It's ideal for power users who value privacy, local models, and no-nonsense integration.

What is the Editor feature?
The Editor acts as a safe buffer, showing a Markdown view of AI output for iterative tweaks like 'make it shorter' or 'add legal checks'. Confirm with ⌘⏎ to insert into your document, preserving the original.
Can Vidix handle images?
Yes, the Image Assistant lets you drag images for AI tasks like description, text extraction, interpretation, or variations using multimodal models like Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, with history tracking.

Vidix performs comprehensive reviews including security analysis, performance review, test coverage analysis, documentation review, and a summary, all via workflow canvas directly in your code editor.
How does response insertion work?
AI responses can replace selected text, type character-by-character, or open in the Editor for approval. Real-time toasts show progress from capture to pasting, with F9 to cancel if needed.
