A system-wide AI writing assistant for Windows, Linux, and macOS that proofreads, rewrites, and summarizes text in any application via a hotkey. It supports cloud LLMs like the free Gemini API as well as local models, and lets users add custom action buttons.

Use cases

  • fix grammar mistakes system-wide with one hotkey
  • rewrite and optimize text in any app using AI
  • summarize webpages, YouTube videos, and documents
  • use Apple Intelligence-style writing tools on Windows or Linux
  • proofread writing with a local LLM offline
  • add custom AI writing actions to a toolbar

When to choose

  • you want Apple Intelligence-like writing tools on Windows, Linux, or older Macs
  • you need grammar and rewriting help inside any application, not just an editor
  • you prefer a free, open-source assistant that works with Gemini or local models

When to avoid

  • you need a fully offline tool but cannot run local LLMs
  • you only need grammar checking inside a specific editor or browser
  • you require enterprise-grade compliance or team administration features
