What it is
Squint is a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that uses AI to explain anything on your screen.

Quick answers
- Is Squint watching my screen all the time?
- No. Squint sits in the system tray or menu bar and takes action only when you press the hotkey or click the capture button. There is no recording, polling, or background capture.
- What happens to what I capture?
- The region you drag is sent to OpenAI's API for analysis and the answer streams back. OpenAI does not train on API data and retains it only in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days. The rest of your screen never leaves your machine.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes, but only an email address is required. There are no passwords; you receive a link via email to sign in and the app signs itself in.
- Does it answer in my language?
- Yes. Squint writes answers in your computer's language and translates captured content into it. You can choose a different language in settings, and questions typed in another language are answered in that language.
- Can I change the hotkey?
- Yes. The default is Win+Shift+Q on Windows or Cmd+Shift+2 on Mac, but you can rebind it to any key combination in settings.
