Wings releases macOS AI sidebar staging tool
Understand this story
Wings has released a macOS sidebar tool that can dock to the right of AI applications such as Claude and ChatGPT, letting users stash their next message while the AI is generating a reply. After clicking save or pressing ⌥S, the input box is cleared and the content moves to the sidebar; when the AI finishes, clicking pastes it back into the input box, but the tool never presses Enter on the user's behalf. Notes are stored only on the local machine, require no account, and are not uploaded; the tool supports image notes and ten interface languages. It can also follow and paste into Terminal or iTerm2. A Windows version is still in development, and Wings says it will release it when ready.

Wings is a macOS sidebar that docks beside AI desktop apps such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini so you can save a draft message while the AI is still working, then click it to paste it back into the input box. It never presses Enter, keeps notes locally with no account or upload, supports image notes, and offers ten interface languages. It follows or docks to many AI apps and terminals, though saving is not supported in terminals, and a Windows version is in progress.
