Friendware is not only a tab to complete everywhere. It’s a new paradigm of the proactive AI. The death of context switching, explaining yourself to and AI, and copy and pasting
Hey PH fam 👋
Jared here - founder of Friendware.
Like many of you, I love using AI to save time…
but I kept hitting the same wall
constant context-switching, copy/paste, re-explaining myself.
So I built Friendware.
🚀 What it is
An AI that stays with you everywhere, understands what’s on your screen, and helps you act instantly - just press Tab.

Happy to answer any questions below 👇
I’ve tried several other apps that attempt to do this and they have all been very resource heavy and/or disappointing so far. I still think the concept is great but I’m frankly not willing to pay before seeing it work after having been scarred. I appreciate there’s a money back guarantee but that’s still asking a lot of work from people who’ve been jaded before. I would pay for the right product but I need to see it work for me first, without a credit card.
Out of curiosity, how well does it handle longer sessions where the on-screen context changes gradually (e.g., editing → reviewing → rewriting)?
Awesome! So its literally integrates all the tools in one app? What about chat history and channels for example from Slack? Do you integrate everything?
Nice app, but isn’t this essentially a 50% chance of getting the right answer in many real-world cases? For example, if the email is to confirm a specific meeting, wouldn’t it be safer to suggest the reply word by word (or at least with short prompt) so the chance of a wrong/awkward answer is much lower? Second question: on how many devices can I use the license? Is the lifetime license per user across all my Macs, or is it locked to a single device only?
The screen context understanding is interesting. For text-heavy workflows like documentation or research, does Friendware handle visual elements (screenshots, diagrams) or is it primarily text-based context?
Hey - Quick clarification based on a few DMs I’ve gotten:
Friendware isn’t a chatbot, you don’t “go to” it.
It stays with you and activates only when you press Tab, using what’s already on your screen as context.
So instead of:
open AI → explain → copy → paste
It’s:
pause → Tab → done
Curious where people here find most annoying about their current AI workflow. Where does it break flow for you?
working without jumping between tabs feels freeing. Everything staying in one flow saves real time 🧠
