System-wide

Anywhere
you type.

Neat lives in the menu bar and works on whatever is selected, in whatever app is in front of you. It is not another editor to move your writing into.

  • Mail
  • Slack
  • Notes
  • Safari
  • Messages

If you can select the text, Neat can rewrite it.

Three actions

Change the words.
Not the meaning.

Three actions, each with one job. Pick one and the selection is rewritten where it sits.

Grammar

⌃⌥G

Make it correct.

Spelling, agreement, punctuation. The sentence you wrote, without the mistakes.

Simplify

⌃⌥S

Make it clearer.

Cuts the corporate padding — the reaching out, the circling back, the touching base.

Tone

⌃⌥N

Make it sound like you.

Warmer, firmer, shorter. Pick the register from the action palette.

Privacy

Your words
stay yours.

The model runs on your Mac. There is no server to send your writing to, because there is no server.

On your Mac

  • The model Downloaded once, then it stays on your machine.
  • Your selected text Read from the app you are in, and put straight back.
  • The rewritten text Produced on your Mac, in about half a second.

In the cloud

Nothing. No account, no sign-in, no subscription. Neat works with the Wi-Fi off.

What it costs your Mac

About 1 GB
On disk, for the model.
About 50 MB
Memory the rest of the time.

Speed

Half a second.
Then you're done.

Fast enough that you keep typing. There is no window to wait on and no result to copy back.

  1. Select

    Highlight the text in any app.

  2. Shortcut

  3. Neat

    The model runs on your Mac.

The first action after you launch Neat takes a few seconds while the model loads. Every action after that takes about half a second.

The whole interface

Three shortcuts.
That's it.

No settings to learn, no panel to keep open. Neat sits in the menu bar and waits.

Fix grammar

Corrects the selection and leaves everything else alone.

Removes the filler and the corporate phrasing.
