Standby
Web panel, one shake away
Shake to Summon
Shake the mouse and the panel appears beside the pointer; shake again or press Esc to tuck it away.
Global Shortcut
Record any key combo to toggle the panel from anywhere, in any app.
Any Website
Point the panel at any HTTP/HTTPS site you use all day (ChatGPT by default); sessions persist.
Magnetic Snapping
Drag near a screen edge to snap, with a fluid droplet deformation showing where it will land.
Pin on Top
Keep the panel above other windows; resize freely with remembered size and position.
Privacy First
Settings and website data stay on your Mac — no accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
# What is Standby
Standby keeps a customizable web panel close without taking over your desktop.
Shake the mouse to reveal the panel beside the pointer; shake again or press Esc to tuck it away. You can also record a global keyboard shortcut to summon it from any app. Point the panel at any site you use throughout the day — ask an AI, look up docs, take notes, right at hand.

# FAQ
The panel doesn't show up when I shake? Check that Automatic Summon is enabled in Settings → Interaction, or raise the shake sensitivity. You can always summon the panel from the menu bar icon, the Dock icon, or the global shortcut.
How do I change the website in the panel? Settings → General → Panel Address — enter any HTTP/HTTPS address and apply.
