Wisp brings a chosen LLM into any app with a hotkey
Wisp is a free, MIT-licensed open-source app that lets people call their chosen LLM without leaving the app they are using. A small overlay opens with a hotkey, an action can be picked quickly, and the answer appears there as it is generated. It can use selected text, the clipboard, the active app, a browser, a document, or a screen snip as context, and each source can be chosen from the overlay.
It can rewrite text and paste the result back into the original field. It also supports voice questions, direct dictation, and local or optional cloud TTS. It works with hosted s and s such as Ollama and LM Studio.
It includes MCP client and context-server support, a full chat window for longer conversations, and isolated Python add-ons. It has no project-run backend or hosted storage layer; settings, chats, and optional memory stay on the user’s machine, while API keys are kept in the keychain.
