Get OceanBreeze

How to install OceanBreeze

1. Get OceanBreeze on itch.io. Buy OceanBreeze for $1.99 on its itch.io page. Install it with the itch app, or download the zip for your PC: Windows x64 for Intel and AMD processors, Windows ARM64 for Windows on Arm.
2. Unzip it, if you took the zip. Unzip to a folder you keep, such as Documents\OceanBreeze, and open OceanBreeze.exe. It needs no administrator rights.
3. Let it past the Windows warning. OceanBreeze isn't signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway.
4. Hold Caps Lock. OceanBreeze lives in the system tray, next to the clock. Hold Caps Lock and the ring appears centered on your pointer. Move toward a tool and let go to run it.

Caps Lock on its own now opens the ring. To turn capitals on or off, press Shift + Caps Lock. You can pick another trigger in Settings > Trigger. The user guide has the rest.

What you need

• Windows 11, version 21H2 or later. OceanBreeze doesn't run on Windows 10.
• An Intel or AMD PC (x64), or Windows on Arm (ARM64), for example a Snapdragon PC.
• No account and no administrator rights.
• For AI actions: your own key for Claude, GPT, Gemini or Mistral, or a free model on your PC through Foundry Local or Ollama. Every other tool works without one.

How to update

• With the itch app. The itch app keeps OceanBreeze up to date. Quit OceanBreeze from the tray menu if the update waits for it.
• From a zip. Download the new zip from the itch.io page, quit OceanBreeze, and replace the old folder with the new one. Your settings and history are kept, because they live outside that folder.

OceanBreeze doesn't check for updates by itself, so nothing is sent for updates. See what's new.

How to uninstall

To remove your settings, history, logs, speech models and saved API keys too, first choose Remove all my data and keys in Settings > Privacy. Then uninstall OceanBreeze in the itch app, or delete its folder if you used the zip.
