Everything you need to start using Keybinder in under 5 minutes.

Quick Start

Download & Install

Download Keybinder for your platform and install it.

Add your API keys

Open settings and paste your API keys for the AI providers you want to use.

Create an automation

Set a global hotkey, pick a provider and model, write your prompt template.

Use it anywhere

Select text in any app, press your hotkey, and the AI response is copied to your clipboard — just Cmd+V to paste.

Why API keys instead of a regular account?

Apps like ChatGPT and Claude charge a monthly subscription ($20/mo+) for a single provider. With API keys, you pay only for what you actually use — often a few cents per thousands of requests — and you get access to every provider and model in one place.

Lower cost

Most users spend under $1/month with API pricing vs $20+/month per subscription.

Full control

Choose any model for each task. Set your own spending limits. No vendor lock-in.

Total privacy

Keys are encrypted on your machine. Your prompts go directly to the provider — we never see them.
