No folder to pick, no title to invent, no file to name. The thought goes to the top of the stream and stays findable forever.
Capture · clipboard
Everything you copy lands here.
Gisti watches the clipboard so nothing has to be saved twice. Text, images and files – with the app they came from.
Capture · screenshot
⇧⌘X grabs the screen. Vision reads it.
Every capture is OCR'd on device, so a screenshot is as searchable as a note. Watch – this paragraph is about to become one.

⌘Y distills anything, in place.
A model on your own Mac, or any endpoint you point it at. The summary appears under the item and can be saved as a note of its own.

Search that gets it
Type the idea. Gisti finds it.
Every note, clip and screenshot is embedded on your own Mac. The dots behind this text are those records – watch them regroup around the query.
100% on-device – Apple's MLX runs the model on your own GPU. No API key, no cloud embeddings, nothing sent anywhere.
Screenshots rank like notes – Vision reads them once, on capture.
Hybrid ranking – exact, typo-tolerant and semantic hits fused into one list.
Local SwiftData database. API keys in Keychain. Zero telemetry. AI is optional, and can run entirely on your machine. Copies marked Concealed or Transient – what password managers put on the pasteboard – are skipped before they are read.
There isn't one, and the reason is dull. Gisti is written by one person for that person's own use. There is no investor to pay back, no data worth selling and nothing to advertise – so there is no later version of this where the price goes up.
The library is a plain database on your disk, and it stays readable whatever happens to the app or to me.
