What it does

AI in every app, on Mac and Windows. Ubuntu next. Select text, press one shortcut, and the result lands where your cursor is. Rewrite keeps your tone and follows your instructions. Explain and Translate go as deep as you ask. Alternatives shows several ways to say it. Saved prompts run on anything you select and follow your account to every machine. Can't select it? Hold Option or Alt and drag over a PDF, screenshot, or shared screen. Read on your device. Free plan is enough for most people.

Edyt brings AI to any app on Mac and Windows. Select text, hit a shortcut, and rewrite, explain, translate, or run custom prompts right where your text lives. Free to download.

Flags grammar, spelling, and style issues, without rewriting your sentence. Highlight anything in any app, like email, docs, or chats. No copying, no switching windows. Press Ctrl + Shift + Space to bring up the toolbar, then pick the action you want. Edyt calls the AI and drops the result right where your cursor is. Instant, and in place. Grammarly is a fine proofreader. But for explaining text, sounding like you, a genuinely free tier, working in every app on your Mac, and staying out of your way, Edyt wins. Edyt puts AI inside every app on your Mac. Select text, press a shortcut, and rewrite, explain, translate, or run your own prompts, right where youfrom edyt.app

    I caught myself copy-pasting into ChatGPT like 50 times a day. Too lazy for that, so I built a shortcut. Select text anywhere on Mac, press a hotkey — text gets rewritten / translated / summarized / whatever, right where you are. No tabs, no copy-paste dance. Native Swift app, hooks into macOS accessibility APIs. Bring your own API key and calls go straight to OpenAI / Anthropic. Or just use the free tier — 20 requests/day, no signup. https://aihotkeys.tech Curious for the feedback
