How it works
Highlight any text in any macOS app — Messages, Slack, Xcode, Notes, email — anywhere.
Hit ⌘⇧E. A floating HUD confirms the AI is working. Fully customizable shortcut.
Your original text is replaced with the auto-corrected version. Preview the diff first. Undo anytime.
Features
Auto-correct text system-wide with a single keyboard shortcut. No switching apps, no copy-pasting. ⌘⇧E by default, fully remappable.
Choose your model. Swap anytime from the menu bar.
Casual in Slack. Formal in Mail. Technical in Xcode. Set a style per app and CorrectMe automatically adapts.
Use Ollama to run AI entirely on your Mac. Your text never leaves your machine — no API key, no internet connection, no logs, nothing sent anywhere. Works offline, costs nothing.
Free local models that work well:
See exactly what changed before accepting. Accept or reject each correction with a keyboard shortcut. No surprises.
Last 10 corrections accessible from the menu bar. Made a mistake? Press the undo shortcut to restore original text instantly.
For AI Agents
CorrectMe ships with full CLI support and a machine-readable llms.txt manifest. AI coding agents can set it up in a single command — no GUI required.
