Verdicus

macOS AI assistant for translation, rewriting, and visual analysis.

A native macOS app that lives in the menu bar. Select text anywhere — translate it, rewrite in a different tone, summarize, or analyze a screenshot. Backed by a NestJS API on api.verdicus.app with full test coverage.

Capabilities

  • Inline text translation (50+ languages)
  • Style rewriting — formal, casual, concise
  • Visual analysis of screenshots and images
  • Floating toolbar over any selection
  • NestJS API with classified errors and pino logs

Weakest link

No fallback model chain — single Claude provider; runaway-cost circuit breaker not yet wired.

Roadmap to L4

  1. L3 polish — Zod-validate every Claude response; declared tool scopes (no shell exec).
  2. L4 lift — Claude → GPT-4 → Gemini fallback chain via Model Connector; hard cost CB (max 50K tokens / $1 per request); per-provider circuit breaker (3× 5xx → OPEN 60s); Redis state checkpoint for multi-step jobs.
  3. Verification — chaos test with simulated provider outage; confirm fallback works.
