RewriteBar▲138Hey HN, I wanted to share a tool that I've been working on called RewriteBar. It's designed to help improve your writing without the need for context switching. With RewriteBar, you can simply select a sentence, choose an action from the menu bar, and watch as the text is transformed. It works seamlessly in any macOS application and is powered by OpenAI. Some of the key features of RewriteBar include: - Correcting grammar errors that even Grammarly may have missed. - Rewriting your text in a different style to give it a fresh perspective. - Translating sentences quickly without the hassle of…

Plannotator▲97I started this in January as a hook for Claude Code's plan mode: when it finished planning, instead of approving a wall of text in the terminal, the plan opens in your browser and you could mark it up like a document. Your annotations go back into the agent session. It grew from there. There's now PR-style code review (git, jj, p4, GitHub/GitLab PRs) and annotation for markdown, URLs, and folders. Agents produce a lot of HTML now, so Plannotator renders those artifacts and lets you annotate them too. Nine harnesses are supported: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini, OpenCode, Kiro,…

Written in Rust! (not really) I've been using Git for writing recently and was lacking a good UI for editing markdown files when away from the laptop. I created GitWriter to fill that gap. It's built with Expo and I added caching for offline editing with local sqlite, writing goals and a bunch of other features. Markdown is having a huge moment thanks to AI and more and more people are starting to see Git is a really solid choice for creative and technical writers. I've recently launched for iOS and would appreciate feedback!

Hi HN, I'm a film director by trade, and I prefer writing my stories in plain text rather than using clunky screenplay software. Standard markup like Fountain doesn't work for me because I write in mixed languages, so I use Markdown with a custom syntax I invented to resemble standard screenplay structures. This workflow is great until I need to actually generate an industry-standard screenplay PDF. I got tired of manually copying and pasting my text back into the clunky software just to export it, so I decided to write a script to automate the process. That's when I hit a wall. I tried…

Hi HN! I made ScriptEdit, a free Mac app that lets you edit videos by editing their transcripts. Everything runs locally on your machine. Think of Descript but free, local, and no long lags for video uploads or file / time limits. How it works: * You import videos, then ScriptEdit generates a transcript using Whisper (you can choose model). * Then you edit the text and the video cuts automatically match your edits. * Delete words to remove sections, rearrange sentences to reorder clips. * You can 'delete all filler words' or 'delete all gaps' to get much more professional videos without…
