Hi Sarah,

I just wanted to follow up on the project. I am writing this to see if we are still going to be able to hit the deadline that we talked about for Friday. Let me know if you need anything from my end.

Best,
Alex

Built for people who write all day

A utility that respects your time, your privacy, and your workflow.

Works across apps

Slack, Mail, Notes, Safari, Chrome, Docs. If you can select text, SwiftPen can improve it.

Fast keyboard workflow

Summon the panel instantly with a custom shortcut. Keep your hands on the keyboard.

Preview before replacing

Never send an AI hallucination by mistake. Always review the suggestion before it replaces your text.

Private by design

Your text is only sent when you explicitly request an improvement. No background keylogging.

Local mode available

Run lightweight models entirely on-device for maximum privacy and zero latency.

Custom actions

Create your own prompts like "Make it sound like a pirate" or "Format as a markdown table".

Make it yours. Tailor every detail.

SwiftPen is built for Mac power users. Customize your global keyboard shortcuts, create your own specific AI prompts, and even choose which language model powers your experience.

Custom Prompts. Create specific actions like "Translate to Spanish", "Make it sound like a pirate", or "Summarize for an executive".

Global Shortcuts. Bind SwiftPen to whatever key combination fits your workflow best.

Bring Your Own Key. Use our blazing-fast cloud models, or plug in your own OpenAI/Anthropic API key, or run local models via Ollama.

More than just rewriting.

SwiftPen is a complete, private AI powerhouse running directly on your Mac.

Your private, offline AI assistant.

Not just for rewriting. SwiftPen includes a full chat interface powered by the local LLM. Ask questions, brainstorm, and get answers without ever sending your data to the cloud. It's like having ChatGPT running locally on your Mac.

Local Chat (Llama 3 8B)
Can you summarize the main points of the Q3 report?

Based on the local file you provided, here are the key takeaways:

  • Revenue grew by 14% YoY.
  • Customer retention hit an all-time high of 92%.
  • The new sync engine rollout was successful.

Tailor it to your exact voice.

Create custom rewrite modes with specific prompts. Whether you need "Tweeter", "Legalese", or "Gen Z slang", SwiftPen adapts to your exact needs and saves them for one-click access.

Custom Modes
Tweeter
"Rewrite this to be engaging, use emojis, and sound like a tech founder."
Passive Aggressive
"Make it sound polite but extremely annoyed."

Your text is yours. We don't want it.

SwiftPen is designed to be a utility, not a data vacuum. We only process the text you explicitly select and send for improvement. There is no background keylogging, no screen recording, and no continuous monitoring.

Selection-first workflow. Nothing happens until you highlight text and press your shortcut.

Local models available. Choose to run lightweight models entirely on your Mac for absolute privacy.

No training on your data. If you use our cloud models, your requests are never used to train future AI models.

Why does it need Accessibility access?macOS requires Accessibility permissions for apps to read highlighted text and simulate keystrokes (to replace the text). SwiftPen uses this API strictly for this purpose and never logs your typing.

Universal Compatibility

Because SwiftPen uses native macOS accessibility APIs, it works almost everywhere you can type.

Loved by people who write

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what early users are saying.

"It's the first AI tool that actually feels like a native Mac app. It doesn't get in my way, it just sits quietly until I need it."

Sarah J.

Product Manager

"I use the 'Make Polite' action constantly for Slack messages. It saves me from sounding too blunt when I'm in a rush."

David L.

Software Engineer

"The fact that I can preview the text before it replaces anything is huge. I trust it because I'm always in control."
