What is IntelliBar?

IntelliBar is an AI assistant for macOS that operates as a menu bar utility, letting you access AI features without leaving your current application. You can highlight text anywhere on your Mac and use IntelliBar to edit emails, summarise articles, rewrite content, or perform other text-based tasks. It works across all applications, whether you're in a web browser, document editor, or email client. The tool is currently available free during its beta phase, with a paid version available for pre-order as a one-time purchase.
