PIXS 👾

Notes that don't suck.

🌐 Visit the Website

PIXS is a minimal, dark-mode-first note-taking and reminders app for macOS. It's built for people who like pixels, ghosts, and getting things done without the bloat.

🌟 Features

• Notes: Clean, Apple Notes-style editor with markdown support.
• Reminders: Integrated tasks with direct calendar access.
• AI Companion: Optional Gemini, OpenAI, NVIDIA NIM, or OpenRouter integration to chat with your notes.
• Vibe: Animated header, smooth hover effects, and a "Glass Liquid" aesthetic.
• Privacy: Notes and reminders stay local. AI keys are stored in macOS Keychain, and note context is sent only to the active AI provider when you chat.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• SwiftUI: 100% native macOS declarative UI.
• AppKit: For that sweet menu bar integration.
• UserNotifications: For local reminders and alerts.
• Multi-provider AI: Gemini, OpenAI, NVIDIA NIM, and OpenRouter support.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone this repo.

   git clone https://github.com/therahul-yo/PIXS.git

2. Open PIXS.xcodeproj in Xcode.
3. Build & Run (Cmd+R).
4. Enjoy the pixels.

🔐 AI Keys & Privacy

PIXS supports bring-your-own API keys for Gemini, OpenAI, NVIDIA NIM, and OpenRouter. Keys are saved in macOS Keychain, not plain UserDefaults. Your notes, reminders, and chat history stay on your Mac unless you ask the AI assistant a question, in which case PIXS sends the current notes/reminders context to the selected provider.

If macOS blocks a downloaded unsigned build with an "App is damaged" warning, remove the quarantine flag after you trust the download:
