It's a Mac and Windows app (Linux will come). You select text anywhere, press a shortcut, pick rewrite or explain or one of your own prompts, and the result replaces the selection. If the text can't be selected, like a PDF or a screenshot, you hold Option or Alt and drag over it instead.
Most AI tools come with a boundary: their own window, the browser only, one app, or one operating system. Step outside it and you're back to copying text into a chat and pasting the answer back. That's what I wanted to get rid of.
One thing I keep going back and forth on. Right now a prompt only sees the text you selected. I could let prompts call MCP servers, so you select a customer name and a prompt pulls their last three tickets, or select a sentence in a spec and it checks it against your Linear issues. I'm not sure people would set that up for a text tool. If you already run MCP servers for something, what would you point a selected-text prompt at?
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.
