French “a” is the verb avoir: try replacing it with “avait”. “à” is a preposition.

A FEW LITTLE QUESTIONSCurious?
Curious?
Good.
What do I need to use HeyBoxy?+
A Windows computer, Ollama running locally, a downloaded model and the WebView2 runtime. Start the preview, choose your installed model in Settings, and select some text in a compatible app.
Does it work in any app?+
It works in compatible text fields that support Ctrl+C. Protected fields, apps running as administrator and some editors can block selection capture. The result is plain text, and you paste it yourself.
Does it send my writing to a cloud service?+
The app connects to a loopback Ollama address, normally 127.0.0.1. Choose a model that actually runs on your computer; an Ollama setup that forwards to a cloud model is outside that local workflow. Ollama and your clipboard manager have their own history settings.
What does the learning notebook remember?+
Collection is enabled by default for the Correct action. It stores short changed excerpts locally, with counts and a learned state, up to 200 cards. Those excerpts can contain personal information. You can pause collection or clear the notebook in Settings. Tips describe recognized patterns; model changes can still be wrong or depend on context.
Can I choose my own shortcuts?+
Yes. In Settings → Keyboard shortcuts, choose the modifiers and key for each action. Save to apply immediately, disable direct actions you do not need, or restore the defaults. The menu defaults to Ctrl + Shift + Space.
Is there a Mac version?+
Windows is the current preview platform. macOS is planned, but its capture integration and overlay have not been built and validated on a Mac yet.
Is it open source? Will there be a paid version?+
The public release and licensing direction are still being decided. GitHub is the home for the project. This page does not announce a paid plan or promise a particular future pricing model.
A little less friction.
A little more you.
