Small app. Big difference.
Everything you want from a writing assistant, with none of the things you don't.
100% local
The model runs on your Mac at 127.0.0.1. Your text is never uploaded to any server.
Works in every app
Mail, Slack, Notes, Safari, Chrome, code editors — anywhere you can select text.
Keeps your voice
Minimal edits that fix mistakes without paraphrasing, formalizing, or changing your meaning.
Zero setup
No account and no config. The local model downloads and starts itself on first launch.
Instant, in place
The corrected or translated text replaces your selection right where you wrote it.
Built for many languages
Fix text in the language you wrote, and translate two-way between the languages you choose.
A cloud assistant vs. Neatype
Same goal — better text — without the detour through a chat window in the cloud.
Cloud AI assistant
- Runs on someone else's servers
- Your text is uploaded and tied to an account
- Copy, open a chat, paste, wait, copy back
- Sign-up, and often a subscription
- Works inside the chat app or its tab
- Needs an internet connection
Neatype
- Runs on your Mac, at 127.0.0.1
- Your text stays on your device
- Select, press a hotkey, done in place
- No account — free, nothing to log in to
- Works in any app you can select text in
- Works offline after the one-time download
Great for the things you type all day
Wherever words matter, Neatype is one keystroke away.

Social posts

Docs & notes

Made for multilingual life
