Requires running LM Studio locally on Windows, does not work under WSL.
Contextual Intelligence is a Windows only tool that helps you understand or rewrite text anywhere on your computer without sending anything to the cloud. It has two main features. The first, Contextual Lookup, lets you select a word or short phrase in any Windows app, press a hotkey, and get a small popup explaining what that word means in the specific context you selected it from, rather than a generic dictionary definition. The second, Smart Paste, takes whatever text you have copied, lets you choose a format such as plain text, Markdown, a Markdown table, JSON, or an action item list, and shows you a preview of the transformed result before you decide to copy it. The key idea behind the project is that it runs entirely on your own machine using a program called LM Studio, which lets you run AI language models locally instead of relying on an online service. Text you select or copy is only sent to this local model running on your own computer, and there is no cloud option turned on by default. The app is careful never to change your clipboard content automatically. Nothing is copied to your clipboard until you click Copy yourself. The tool relies mainly on Windows built in accessibility features to read selected text, and only falls back to a temporary clipboard based method if that fails, a feature that is turned off unless you turn it on yourself in a settings file. When that fallback is used, the app is upfront about the fact that your clipboard is briefly changed and then restored, and it explains the specific edge cases where this could still be visible to other clipboard tools on your system. This is described as a developer preview you run from source code rather than a finished packaged application, aimed at writers, developers, researchers, and anyone comfortable running LM Studio locally. It explicitly avoids working with password fields or other sensitive input, and does not run inside WSL.
