Fast, the default, usually starts answering within 1\u20132 seconds; Best is slightly slower, but provides a much higher quality response.\n- Free is 3 captures a day, up to 10 a week, on Fast, and needs an email sign-in, since usage is metered per account. Plus is $10&#x2F;month: 2,500 credits a month, the Best model (25 credits per answer, follow-ups included; Fast is 1), and up to 10 follow-ups per capture instead of 2.\n- Windows 10&#x2F;11, and Linux on Wayland (GNOME 45+ or KDE Plasma 6). No macOS yet, and no X11.<p>What I&#x27;d most like to know:\n1. Is this workflow actually quicker than what you do now?\n2. Squint Plus is currently $10&#x2F;month or $99&#x2F;year:\n   a) At what monthly price would Plus feel like a good deal?\n   b) At what price would it start to feel expensive, though you&#x27;d still consider it?\nc) At what price would it be too expensive to consider at all?\n3. Did anything break during install, sign-in, or a capture?<p>Thanks!","title":"Show HN: Squint \u2013 Drag a box on your screen and ask AI about it","type":"story","url":"https://heysquint.com/"}
