QuiKey
Your macOS right-click menu, supercharged.
About QuiKey
QuiKey is a macOS utility that extends Finder's right-click menu and the system Services menu with powerful one-click actions. Upload files to Google Drive, convert documents to PDF, compress videos and GIFs, or run AI analysis with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude directly from the menus you already use. Inside the app it adds AI chats, multi-step AI workflows, access to 400+ OpenRouter models, and local history and usage statistics.

- Requires bringing your own AI provider API keys for full functionality
- macOS requires manually enabling Services for the actions to appear in the right-click menu
