Small thing I keep relearning: the best design reviews start with “what are we trying to make easier?”
How Chime In works

- Click Chime In
- Pick a mode
- You hit Post
Modes
Three ways to chime in
Pick the effort level. Every mode is just a prompt, and you can edit all of them.
Quick
Short, simple, a bit vague. For the posts you only need to acknowledge.
The post
“Today we’re launching Northwind Atlas… sign-up to first result in minutes, not weeks.”
Chime In writes
Huge milestone, Mark. Congrats to the whole team!
Thoughtful
Longer. Picks up a specific point from the post and makes a connection.

Congrats, Mark. Cutting sign-up to first result from weeks to minutes is the part that sticks with me. That’s what customers actually feel on day one. Well earned by the whole team.
Clean up
Type what you actually mean. Chime In turns it into something you’d sign.

Congratulations, Mark — this is a launch we’ve been waiting for. Great work from the whole team.
Make it yours
It should sound like you
Nothing is hidden behind the curtain. Open settings and everything that shapes a comment is right there.
- Custom modes
Add your own: “Ask a question”, “Dry humor”, “Supportive”. They show up next to the built-ins.
- Every prompt is editable
Rewrite the Quick, Thoughtful and Clean up prompts, or pick any OpenRouter model.
- About me and tone
Tell it your role, your voice, the words you’d never use. Comments stop sounding generic.
Privacy
Your key, your data
No account. No server of ours. No tracking. Chime In is a small extension that talks to one place: OpenRouter, with your key.
Your browserChime In + your key
OpenRouterroutes to your model
Commentback in your comment box
Bring your own key
Use your OpenRouter key. Defaults to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash; any OpenRouter model works.
Stored locally
Your key and settings live in your browser. They never leave your device except to call OpenRouter.
Never auto-posts
It fills the comment box and stops. Posting is always your click.
Open source
Read every line on GitHub. Fork it, audit it, change it.
FAQ
Good questions
Does it post for me?
No. Chime In writes the comment into the comment box and stops. You read it, edit it if you want, and press Post yourself.
What does it cost?
The extension is free. You pay OpenRouter directly for what you use, and a short comment on a small model like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash costs pennies for hundreds of them.
Which model does it use?
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash by default, because it is fast and cheap. In settings you can switch to any model available on OpenRouter.
Where do my key and posts go?
Your key is stored in your browser on your device. When you generate a comment, the post text and anything you typed go straight from your browser to OpenRouter. There is no Chime In server in between.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. Edit any prompt, add custom modes, and fill in the “About me / tone” field so comments match your role and voice.
