Fixel in a terminal: the user asks why their script won't run, and the answer streams in with the cause and the pip command that fixes it

A real answer, drawn by Fixel's own rendering code.

How it works

  1. Press Right Option twiceDouble-tap Right Option, in any app.
  2. Drag over itAn error, a math question, an email or a webpage.
  3. Read the answerIt streams into your terminal, shaped to fit the problem.

An error gets a command you can run. A math problem gets numbered steps. A webpage can come back as an HTML file that recreates it. Fixel runs on your own Claude, Gemini or OpenAI key, kept in the macOS Keychain. There's no account and no server in between.
