Settings
Overlay
Colors, font, and background of the on-screen overlay. Position + size are set by dragging the running overlay — hold Ctrl+Alt+M to enter manip mode, then drag the panel to move it or drag any corner/edge to resize. Preview updates live.
AI
Pick the model that answers your questions and analyzes your screenshots. Everything routes through OpenRouter on your Tavra plan — no separate API key needed.
Live-fetched from openrouter.ai/api/v1/models. Any pick routes via the tavra-ai Worker; if it 4xx's, the server whitelist needs the id — ping ops.
Modes
Each mode is a way the overlay behaves. Bind a hotkey to trigger it.
All hotkeys fire as Ctrl + Alt + <letter> — click a bind button and press the letter you want. Rebinding a shared hotkey (X, S) updates both mode cards.

Phone
Overlay, off your Mac.
Move Tavra's chat overlay onto your phone during an exam. It disappears from your Mac's display entirely — nothing to catch on a screen recording.
Required for screen-recorded exams. On Mac the overlay is visible to screen recordings and screen share — if your exam is proctored, recorded, or watched live, Phone Mode is not optional. Set it up before the exam starts.
On your iPhone, open Safari and go to:
app.trytavra.com/phone
Sign in with the same email. Keep the tab open — screen stays on by itself.
With an exam tab focused, press:
That's Control + Shift + P — hold Control, hold Shift, then tap P.
The overlay leaves your Mac and shows up on the phone. Hit it again to bring it back.
Every message you type on the Mac, every screenshot you take, streams live to the phone. You never touch the phone during an exam.
