Gemlet

Athan Zhang went to Princeton, spent his early years on Wall Street, and has already been through two startups before Copperlane. Now he's building Gemlet—a native, keyboard-first Gemini client for macOS that makes Google's AI actually usable. Because let's be honest, opening a browser tab every time you want to talk to Gemini is a crime against productivity.

Gemlet lives in your menu bar. One global shortcut and you're in. You can pin the window so it stays visible while you work in other apps. Every single action has a keyboard shortcut—switch models, navigate chats, control panels, everything without touching your mouse. They've got command palettes, slash commands that work like snippets, split panels for multitasking with multiple conversations side-by-side, and workspaces that save your entire layout so you can switch setups instantly. You can even use multiple Google accounts side by side with separate chat histories. It's $19.99 one-time, no subscription, 14-day money-back guarantee.

This is the thing though—everyone's building AI wrappers. Gemlet is different. It's built for people who live in their keyboard, who want AI integrated into their workflow而不是 constantly context-switching. Latrova Tech made something that feels like it belongs on macOS, not some Electron web wrapper bolted on. If you're a power user who wants Gemini everywhere, this is your app.
