Gemlet is a native, keyboard-first client for Gemini on macOS. Stop hunting for browser tabs to launch AI instantly with global hotkeys. It uses your existing Google account, so NO API keys or per-token costs are needed. Key Features: β‘οΈ Global Hotkeys + Command Palette π Split-View Workspaces and Multiple Profiles (Work vs. Personal) π Deep Bookmarks for specific Gems π Native PDF/JSON Export (Save your history) Built in SwiftUI. Fast, private, and designed for power users.
I had so many browser tabs open, constantly reaching for the mouse just to find an old conversation or switch models.
πΈ And I didn't want to pay for a 3rd party wrapper that requires an API key.
Damn. Iβm already paying for a Google Advanced subscription, why should I pay per token?
So, I decided to do what Google didn't do and created a native app for myself.
Easy, using my existing subscription without API keys.
π Itβs called Gemlet. I built it to live in your menu bar.
I wanted something that felt like a pro tool, not a webpage.
π Here is how I solved my own headaches:
β¨οΈ No more mouse hunting: I can now switch between Pro and Flash models with a keyboard command. I can also open any specific Gem or chat with a global shortcut.
ποΈ Organization: I added real bookmarks for chats and Workspaces to keep my "Work" and "Personal" stuff completely isolated. No more separate windows for everything.
πΎ History Safety: I was paranoid about Gemini randomly "eating" or deleting my history (which happened to me dozens of times). I built a native exporter so I can save any conversation to PDF or JSON whenever I want.
β‘ Keyboard-First: Global hotkeys and a command palette were top of mind all the time. If I had to click a button, then I created an app shortcut for that (e.g., cmd+B opens/closes the sidebar).
