Reviews
Rephrase eliminated my constant tab switching to ChatGPT for quick grammar fixes. The Cmd plus shortcut works everywhere on Mac which is the key feature. Using in Slack and Mail daily now and the tone polishing helps emails sound more professional. Zero latency is accurate
The context switching elimination is exactly why I built this. Glad the Cmd plus shortcut feels natural in your workflow.
Does the tone polishing have different presets like professional vs casual or is it automatic?
Currently automatic based on context. Presets for specific tones is on the roadmap based on feedback like this.
The inline transformation popup is elegant. Results appear near the selected text without disrupting workflow. Menu bar icon provides quick access to settings.
200 uses in a month across that many apps is great to hear. The native approach for zero latency was a deliberate technical choice that pays off in these high frequency use cases.
Spanish translation working smoothly is good validation. I use it for German and the results are consistent.
The subscription fatigue point is real. Nice to just buy once and use without thinking about recurring costs.
Been using Rephrase for about 6 weeks as part of my writing workflow. Works in Notion, Slack, VS Code, Apple Notes, and everywhere else I write. The system wide integration is the differentiator. Pay once model means no recurring cost anxiety. Easily used 300 plus times and the quality of grammar fixes is consistent.
300 plus uses shows this fits well into a heavy writing workflow. The no recurring cost is a strong selling point.
Finally a Mac native solution for quick text improvements. Using for about a month in my daily writing workflow. The no monthly fees model sealed the deal. Works in every app I have tried including some obscure ones. The instant fix without leaving my current context is the main value.
Works in obscure apps is a good stress test. Some utilities only work in mainstream apps.
The system level text selection approach means if the app supports standard macOS text selection, Rephrase works with it.
Rephrase fits perfectly into how I work on Mac. Been using for about 6 weeks across multiple apps including Slack, Mail, Notes, and even Figma for copy editing. The context switching to ChatGPT was a real productivity drain and this solves it completely. The native macOS approach means no web roundtrip latency. Grammar fixes are instant, translation between English and Spanish works smoothly, and the tone adjustment helps match communication style to the audience. The one time payment model is refreshing compared to subscription fatigue. Probably used it 200 times in the past month across various writing tasks.
Using for about 3 weeks primarily in Xcode for code comments and documentation. The instant text transformation is faster than copying to an external tool. Works well for cleaning up technical writing.
Helpful for cleaning up emails and messages. Using for about 3 weeks. The translation feature is bonus functionality I use occasionally for work communications.
Replacing the ChatGPT tab for text cleanup is the exact use case I designed for. The native performance eliminating API wait time is the key advantage.
Good native Mac utility. The grammar and translation work well. Would like to see custom transformation presets for recurring writing styles.
Solid grammar utility for Mac. Using for about 2 weeks. The system wide keyboard shortcut is convenient for quick fixes.
Custom transformation presets is a popular request. Working on it for a future update. What kind of recurring styles would be most useful for your workflow?
Rephrase replaced my ChatGPT tab for text cleanup. Using for about 5 weeks and the time savings are real. Select text, hit the shortcut, done. The native performance means no waiting for API calls. Grammar fixes, tone adjustments, and translations all work reliably across apps.
