A personal bridge for ChatGPT Dots

Give your dot
the right context.

The text you copied. The file you chose. Board shares selected context from your Mac and brings a requested reply back to your clipboard.

Set up Board How it works

You choose what to share. You decide what to paste.

From your Mac, with intention

ChatGPT DotsRead. Understand. Respond.

Only the snapshots you explicitly shared.

A requested reply returns as literal text.
You paste it on your Mac.

A deliberate connection

Useful context travels.
The rest stays with you.

Selected snapshots. Private tunnel.
Manual paste.

Getting started

Three steps to your first share.

Follow the setup guide

Set up your Mac

Install the private companion and keep it running locally.

Mac companion 02

Connect your dot

Connect your private MCP companion through Secure MCP Tunnel.

Private tunnel setup 03

Choose the context

Capture text or select a UTF-8 file. Your dot reads that frozen snapshot.

Sharing context

Your everyday workflow

One selection.
One snapshot.

Capture the clipboard once or pick a context file. Ask your dot to read it, summarize it or copy a reply. Clipboard text stays literal until you decide what to do with it.

Share your first text

After installing and configuring the companion

shared-clipboard capture \
  --local-config /absolute/private/local.json \
  --name "Project notes"

Explicitly capture once. The dot can read that snapshot.

Need the cloud clipboard too?

Before you rely on it

Local implementation checks are in place. Your intended account, tunnel and viewed clipboard still need live verification.
