## Description

Orange Intelligence is a macOS desktop application that adds a system-wide floating text processor activated by double-tapping the Option key. It captures selected text from any application, processes it through user-defined Python functions — which can include LLM calls to OpenAI or local models via Ollama — and pastes the result back. The app is built with Python and PyQt6, uses AppleScript for clipboard and focus management, and is fully extensible by adding callable objects to the extensions package. Installation requires Python 3.9+, Poetry, and macOS accessibility/input monitoring permissions. The project is licensed under MIT and actively developed with a roadmap including custom prompts, a text playground, and cross-platform support.
