RewriteBar
macOS menu-bar AI writing assistant that fixes grammar, translates, and runs custom text-rewriting actions in any app via keyboard shortcut.
What it does
RewriteBar is a macOS app that lets users trigger AI text actions via a keyboard shortcut in any application, covering grammar fixing, translation into 500+ languages, and custom workflows like summarizing or humanizing text. It supports both cloud AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek with your own API key) and local models via Ollama or LM Studio for privacy.
How to use: Select text in any macOS application, trigger an action via the command menu or custom keyboard shortcut, and watch your writing transform instantly. The corrected version is automatically pasted back, replacing the original text.
