About

Most AI tools make you screenshot, switch to a chat tab, upload, and switch back. Squint cuts that to one step: press a hotkey, drag a box over anything on your screen, and ask. The answer appears right beside what you selected, and you can ask follow-ups. Fast mode usually starts answering in 1-2 seconds; Best mode gives deeper answers. Built in Rust with native screen capture for speed. Works on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Wayland), with a free tier of 3 captures a day.

AI Summary

Squint is an AI productivity tool that allows users to select any area of their screen and ask questions about it with a simple hotkey. It operates on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Wayland), offering a free tier of three captures per day.

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

ThinLittle evidence and no strong angle. Nothing to build on yet.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
