rewr.it for Mac
Select text in any Mac application, press a key, and get it back sounding like you rather than like a language model. It works in Mail, in Slack, in a document, in a text field on a website — the app comes to the writing instead of the writing going to a browser tab.
Version 0.2.1 · 4 MB · Apple silicon · macOS 12 or later · released September 5, 2026
Select the text you want to fix
Anywhere: a half-written email, a paragraph a chatbot gave you, a Slack message that reads as stiff.
Press ⌥⌘R
A small panel appears with your selection already in it. You can also right-click and choose Services → Rewrite with rewr.it in applications that offer it — that route needs no permissions at all.
Choose what you want changed
Sounds like me is the default. Shorter, warmer, more direct, less formal, and clearer are one click each. Or hand it three bullet points and let it write the prose.
Read it, then decide
The rewrite arrives with a note about what changed and whether the facts, names, numbers, and links survived. Nothing is replaced until you press Replace — and Copy and Undo stay available afterwards.
It reads the text you select when you invoke it, and nothing else. It is never watching a field, a document, or an application.
Your drafts are not kept. There is no history of what you selected or what came back. The app borrows the clipboard for a moment to take the selection and hand the rewrite back — a clipboard manager can see that moment, and nothing else can.
macOS asks for Accessibility permission the first time you use the shortcut, because reading a selection that way means synthesising a copy keystroke. That is the only thing the permission is used for, and the Services route never needs it.
