Press ⌃ Space. Glimpse reads the window you are already in — code, a PDF, a thread, your calendar — and answers over the top of it. No copy-paste, no second tab. Press again and it’s gone.

Title and summary written from the diff
Glimpse integrates with the tools already open on your Mac, so context moves with you instead of into another workspace.
Glimpse connects the context from your active window to Slack, Notion, GitHub, Gmail, and Obsidian.
Glimpse talks to your Google Calendar and keeps a to-do list of its own. Ask from wherever you are. The answer arrives before the calendar tab would have loaded, and the key that summoned it sends it away.
Rollout, week of the 14th
Hold the release until the migration has run on staging for a full day. Design sync moves to Thursday afternoon if Priya can make it; otherwise keep Friday and push the review a week.
Open questions: renewal terms on the MSA, passport for the Berlin trip, and whether the onboarding copy survives legal.
The other way
Most of the cost is the last step. The tab is quick; getting back into the sentence you were writing is not.
Connects to Google Calendar. Lists what's booked, adds and moves events, replies to invites. Deleting asks first.
Glimpse's own list, kept on your Mac. Dates come from plain words: “tomorrow at 5”, “Friday”, “tonight”.
Today's schedule sits behind the left edge of the screen and your to-dos behind the right. Hover to reveal, move away to hide.
Developers found it first. The key works the same on a paper, a thread, or a draft. Pick the desk that looks like yours.

Glimpse watches nothing in the background. It reads your screen only when you summon it, on-device, and sends only what your question needs, only when you press enter.
Screen reading runs locally with ScreenCaptureKit and Vision. Pixels become text on your Mac.
Context goes to the AI provider you configure, and only the moment you submit a question.
API keys, secrets, emails, and phone numbers are stripped before anything is sent or stored.
Keys live in the macOS Keychain. Conversations stay in local SQLite. No telemetry by default.
Every one is a tab, a paste, a read, and a hunt for where you were. Call it forty seconds. It adds up faster than it feels.
