Half-bounce club ⚡
I love how many people are attaching to the "half-bounch" startup time metric. I used to do paid macOS dev ~20 years ago and most macOS devs I knew then used the bounce metric! Back then multiple bounces was the norm due to HDDs. One bounce really wasn't possible until SSDs. We've lost this obsession and its time to bring it back.

I've had BoltAI on my Mac since the v1 days, but upgrading to v2 last week reminded me why I made the switch. Before Bolt, I was stuck with the ChatGPT desktop app (buggy, missing web features), the Claude app (locked to one provider), and alternatives like MindMac that crashed constantly. There are GitHub threads of people saying it crashes every few messages.
What sold me originally was the global shortcut. I hit one key combination and BoltAI appears over whatever I'm working on. No context switching, no tab hunting. But v2 brings even more to the table.
The instant workflows are genuinely useful. I set up custom shortcuts for specific tasks, and the inline editing means I can rewrite text or fix code right where I'm typing. Everything is customisable too, from my prompt library to plugins that extend what the AI can do. I can switch between models instantly depending on what I need, using proprietary models or any open source model with the provider of my choice.
When I'm working with sensitive client data, I flip to a local model via Ollama and keep everything on my machine. That privacy-first approach matters in some cases.
The app isn't perfect. I'd love more detailed cost tracking for API usage (they've added basic usage metrics recently, but more granularity would help). These are nits though. The developer ships regular updates, v2 is noticeably snappier with modern Apple APIs, and it respects your privacy by default.
One-time purchase, no subscription. For Mac power users who need AI properly integrated into their workflow, BoltAI v2 is the best option I've found.

BoltAI v2 is finally here ✨
I've spent the last 6 months rebuilding it from scratch: new codebase, new design, new everything.
It’s faster & much better than v1.
A few details, then demos of the key features 👇

Faster, safer, nicer to use
- New chat renderer that stays fast even with huge chats
- Sandboxed by default – the app can’t touch your files unless you explicitly grant access
- Tons of QoL upgrades: better notifications, proxy settings, model management and more
