Use tool ↗About Blue
Blue is a Mac-native ChatGPT client whose point is screen context: press option and space anywhere in the system and it can act on what is currently in front of you, instead of making you copy text into a browser tab. It is built by Monter AB in Sweden and needs macOS 12.6 Monterey or later; a Windows edition is listed as planned but is not shipping. Billing is by monthly token allowance rather than by seat, and there is a cheaper tier for people who bring an OpenAI key of their own and use the app purely as a client. A trial runs without a card. There is no web version and no mobile app.

Pros & cons of Blue
The screen-context trick is what separates this from the dozen other Mac ChatGPT wrappers: the shortcut brings the model to whatever window you are already in rather than making you assemble a prompt somewhere else. The five-dollar bring-your-own-key tier is honest pricing for what is, at that tier, a client. The limits are real though — Mac only, token allowances rather than unlimited use, and a small Swedish company with a Windows build that has been promised rather than shipped.
Pros
- Screen-context capture invoked from a global option-space shortcut
- Native macOS app rather than a wrapped web page
- Bring-your-own-key tier at 5 dollars a month for people who already pay OpenAI
- Trial runs with no card required
- Vendor names itself and its country openly
Cons
- macOS 12.6 or later only; the Windows build is announced but not available
- Paid tiers meter GPT-4o by token allowance, so heavy use hits the ceiling
- OpenAI models only, with no Anthropic or Google option
- No API, no team features and no mobile client
Best for
- Mac users who want a model reading the window they are already looking at
- People who already pay OpenAI and just want a better front end for 5 dollars a month
- Anyone who prefers a keyboard shortcut to a browser tab
Not for
- Windows or Linux users, and anyone needing mobile access
- Teams wanting shared workspaces, admin controls or an API
Watch out: Screen-context capture means whatever is on screen can be sent to a model provider — mind what window is open when you hit the shortcut.
