How It Works

Two views.
One screen.

You see the AI answers. GhostNote's window stays out of supported screen shares and recordings — the capture gets everything else on your screen, just not the overlay.

👁What the capture sees
🚫GhostNote's window isn't included in supported screen shares and recordings. Everything else on your screen shares as normal.
😎What you see
✨On your physical screen you see GhostNote fully. Type your question, get the answer. Adjust transparency with a slider. Only you can see it.

Why GhostNote

Why an overlay
instead of a tab

Always on top, your own keys, and out of the screen share.

🪶
577KB — Smallest in the market
Competitors are 800KB+. GhostNote is pure native C++ — no Electron, no bloat, no frameworks. Starts instantly, uses almost zero RAM.
💻
Windows + macOS
GhostNote runs natively on both platforms. Same features, same overlay, both platforms.
🤖
47 AI models — 4 providers
Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Ollama (local). Others say "all models" but don't name them. We list every single one. Including free offline AI.
🔒
Capture exclusion, built into the OS
GhostNote asks the operating system to leave its window out of screen captures, using the window-level controls the OS gives to apps. Not a browser extension, not a web overlay. What that covers and what it doesn't is in How It Works above.
💰
$20/mo — invisible on every plan
$20 a month, or $250 once. Capture exclusion is on every plan, including Free. Your AI usage is billed by your provider, not by us.
🦙
Offline AI — No internet needed
With Ollama, run AI completely offline on your own machine. No API key, no usage costs, no data leaving your computer.
🆓
A free plan that actually works
Ghost Free gives you 15 minutes every month with every feature working — the same invisibility, all 47 models. No card required, and your minutes reset on the 1st.
🔑
Your API key — zero markup, no caps
Connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google key, or run Ollama for free. GhostNote never resells tokens, so there's no usage cap to hit and no inflated AI bill — you pay your provider's actual rates.
🎫
No license keys — just sign in
Your plan links to your account the moment you sign in to the app. Buy on the site, sign in, done. Cancel anytime from your account — no emails, no questions asked.
AI Models

47 models. 4 providers.
You pick which one.

Connect whichever AI you already have an account with. Each uses your own API key — your usage is based on your account credits, not GhostNote limits.

🥇
Claude Opus 5
by Anthropic
Best reasoning Writing Math
The most intelligent model for complex reasoning, essays, coding, and math. Our top recommendation. Roughly $5 covers about 220 answers on Opus 5 — or over 1,000 on Claude Haiku 4.5 if you want to stretch it further.
🔑 Get key at console.anthropic.com
🥈
GPT-5.6 Sol
by OpenAI
General use Fast Versatile
The frontier model in the GPT-5.6 family. Excellent at almost everything, and the Terra and Luna tiers cost far less if you are watching spend. Great start if you already have a ChatGPT account.
🔑 Get key at platform.openai.com
🥉
Gemini 3.6 Flash
by Google
Free tier Very fast Free to start
Google's fastest current model, and the Flash tier has a genuine free tier — perfect if you want to start without paying. No credit card required to get started.

Ollama (Local)
Offline / Local AI
100% Free Offline Private
Run AI models locally on your machine — completely free, no API key needed. Supports Llama, Mistral, CodeLlama, and more. No internet required.
🔑 No key needed — download at ollama.com
💡
How much does API cost?
Gemini is completely free to start — no card needed. After that it depends entirely on which model you pick. Roughly $5 covers about 2,700 answers on Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, 1,100 on Claude Haiku 4.5, 370 on Sonnet 5, or 220 on Opus 5. Your credits are managed directly by each provider — GhostNote doesn't add any limits. Estimated at ~2,000 tokens in and ~500 out per answer, at each provider's list price, July 2026.
Every model GhostNote supports — all 47, named
Switch between any of them inside the app. Your key, your credits, no GhostNote limits.
