A simple macOS menu bar application to perform OCR on screen captures, with a special focus on extracting mathematical equations into LaTeX format using the Google Gemini API.

- Gemini Model Selection: Choose between different Gemini models to optimize for speed, cost, or accuracy.
- Clipboard Integration: Automatically copies the extracted text or LaTeX to your clipboard.
- Customizable Shortcuts: Set your own global keyboard shortcuts for both text and LaTeX extraction via the Settings panel.
