A flexible AI writing assistant for selected text on macOS

SnapRewrite is a flexible macOS AI writing assistant built around selected text. Highlight text in any app, trigger an action, and rewrite it in place without switching tabs or copying and pasting between tools. Beyond basic rewrite and polish, SnapRewrite lets you create custom AI commands for your own writing workflows. You can use built-in free models or connect your own OpenAI-compatible APIs, so the experience adapts to how you write.

I can integrate all the necessary tools into VS Code to enhance development progress.
XcodeDevelop, test, and distribute apps for all Apple platforms

I chose Xcode because SnapRewrite is a native macOS app, and Xcode provided the most complete workflow for building, debugging, signing, and shipping it.
What mattered most was tight integration with Apple’s frameworks and the App Store release process. For this project, Xcode was not just an editor, but the most reliable way to take the app from development to distribution.

I chose GitHub because it gave me the most practical and reliable workflow for building and shipping SnapRewrite.
As an indie developer, I wanted one place for version control, issue tracking, release management, and project organization. GitHub kept the development process simple, stable, and easy to maintain.

OpenAIAPIs and tools for building AI products
5.0 (730 reviews)
I chose OpenAI because SnapRewrite depends on consistent writing quality, solid developer tooling, and a reliable API experience.
Since the app is built around rewriting and polishing selected text inside real macOS workflows, I cared a lot about stable output and easy integration. OpenAI felt like the strongest balance of quality, ecosystem maturity, and developer experience.
