Why GuruHat exists
Building things means wearing a lot of hats: planning your day, editing, debugging, trying to remember a keyboard shortcut you have used for twenty years. GuruHat collects the small tools made along the way. When something keeps getting in the way and a tool fixes it, that tool gets cleaned up, published here, and made free for everyone.
Each app does one job. There is no ecosystem to join, no account to create, and no monthly bill.
The apps
- ClipHat — a private clipboard history manager for macOS and Windows. Search, pin and restore anything you copied with ⌘⇧V or Ctrl+Shift+V. History stays on your device.
- PC Mode — familiar Windows shortcuts on a Mac: delete from Finder with one key, cut and move files, and switch individual windows with ⌘Tab.
- AI Meter — your remaining Claude Code or Codex usage in the Mac menu bar or Windows tray, with the time it resets.
- PriorityTab — a new tab extension for Chrome and Firefox that shows your most visited sites beside your bookmarks.
Open source and licensing
ClipHat and AI Meter are released under the MIT License, with source code for both the Mac and Windows versions on GitHub. PC Mode's source is also on GitHub. PriorityTab is distributed through the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on each repository.
Privacy
GuruHat apps have no accounts and no analytics. ClipHat's history is a local database on your device, and AI Meter talks only to the AI provider you already use. The website counts downloads without storing IP addresses. Read the full privacy policy.
Not to be confused with
GuruHat (one word) is a software project. It is not related to Gorur Haat, the cattle markets of Bangladesh and West Bengal sometimes spelled "Guru Hat", or to Tackle Guru fishing headwear and other "guru" sun hats.
