Your writing, with fewer mistakes.
Select text in almost any app1 and press your shortcut. GrammarFix puts a corrected version in its place, with your meaning and your tone left alone.
It lives in the Services menu, where your text already is.
There's no window to paste into. macOS hands GrammarFix the selection and puts the fix back in the same place, so the text never visits the clipboard.

- Your own shortcutPick any keys you like in System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts › Services.
- A second shortcutFix with Instructions asks what you want this time, then fixes.
Editors keep a style sheet. So does GrammarFix.
Write your rules once and every fix follows them. Add rules for particular apps, including whether they get emojis, or give one fix its own request.
| Every fixsaved instructions | Use the Oxford comma. Keep it friendly. |
|---|---|
| Languageor detect it per text | New Zealand English. |
| In Mailapp instructions, no emojis | Formal, and no exclamation marks. |
| In Messagesapp instructions, emojis on | Casual. Leave my lowercase alone. |
| Just this oncesecond shortcut | Make it shorter. |
Your Mac already has Writing Tools. Why pay US$1.99?
Writing Tools is good, and GrammarFix can use the same Apple on-device model. The difference is how few steps a fix takes, and how much of your style it remembers.
| Feature | GrammarFix | Apple Writing Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Start a fix | Your own shortcut. Or right-click › Services. | Right-click › Writing Tools, then choose an action. Some apps also have a Writing Tools button. |
| Apply it | Replaced in place. No panel, nothing to confirm. The original stays in Recent Fixes. | Review the changes, then click Done. |
| Reusable tone | Whatever you describe, like "warm but brief" or "no exclamation marks". Saved once. | Friendly, Professional or Concise. |
| Rules for every fix | Saved instructions, like "Use the Oxford comma". | Describe it each time. |
| Rules per app | App instructions: formal in Mail, casual in Messages. | Describe it each time. |
| Emojis | Your call, per app: one or two in Messages, never in Mail. | Describe it each time. |
| A one-off request | A second shortcut, then type it. | Describe a change, in the panel. |
| Model | Your choice: Apple's on-device model, or any model from OpenRouter, Anthropic or OpenAI with your own key. | Apple's models. ChatGPT for Compose. |
| Macs | macOS 13 or later, Intel or Apple silicon. The on-device model needs Apple Intelligence. | Macs with Apple Intelligence, in supported languages and regions. |
| Formatting | Kept. Bold, italics, links and fonts stay on the corrected words, in apps that share rich text, such as TextEdit. | Edits the text where it is. |
| Summaries, new text | Not offered. It fixes what you wrote. | Summarize, Key Points and Compose. |
| Price | US$1.99, once. | Included with macOS. |
They work side by side. Keep Writing Tools for summaries and drafting, and press your shortcut for the everyday fixes.
