Start a fresh draft
- Snapdraft opens at your saved screen position.
- Type or paste text, then choose a rewrite mode.
- Copy the result.
Rewrite text without
switching apps.
One shortcut rewrites editable text in place, opens read-only selections in Snapdraft, or starts a fresh draft.
01The problem
A one-line edit shouldn't require a chatbot.
Most small rewrites start in Slack, Gmail, WhatsApp, or another text field. Moving them into a chatbot adds copying and often breaks formatting. It also leaves drafts scattered across tools.
-
01
A small edit becomes a detour
Opening another app to fix one sentence interrupts the work already in front of you. Snapdraft rewrites the selected text where it is.
-
02
You repeat the same instructions
"Make this clearer" and "turn this into an email" can be saved as rewrite modes instead of typed into a chat each time.
-
03
Copy and paste breaks formatting
Moving text through a chat tool can strip bullets, links, emphasis, and code. Snapdraft keeps that structure intact.
-
04
Chat history is not draft history
Snapdraft saves drafts and in-place rewrites locally, including the original text and its replacement.
02Rewrite anywhere
Rewrite text where you wrote it.
Select editable text and press your Snapdraft shortcut. The rewrite replaces the original text.
⌘
⇧
Space
In Settings, editable selections can open in Snapdraft instead.
03Shortcut behavior
What happens when you press the shortcut.
Snapdraft checks whether text is selected and whether you can edit it.
Rewrite in place
- Select text in an editable field.
- The result replaces your selection.
Open and rewrite
- Select text in a page, message, or document.
- Snapdraft opens with the selection and starts rewriting.
- Review the result, then copy it where you need it.
04Features
Local rewriting
By default, llama.cpp runs rewrites on your Mac. Your text stays local, and no API key is required.
Your ChatGPT or Grok account
Connect your ChatGPT or Grok account for rewrites with OpenAI or xAI models. Snapdraft sends only the text being rewritten, using your account.
Markdown and rich text
Snapdraft keeps bullets, links, emphasis, code, and paragraph breaks through the rewrite and paste.
Custom rewrite modes
Use the included modes for errors, tone, emails, and messages. Add your own instructions and arrange the list in Settings.
Local dictation
Speak even where the current app has no mic input. Transcription runs locally through whisper.cpp.
Draft history
Snapdraft saves drafts and in-place rewrites locally, so you can return to earlier work.
Keyboard shortcuts
Open a draft or rewrite selected text in place without reaching for the trackpad.
05Privacy
Your drafts stay local by default.
With the local model, Snapdraft rewrites and transcribes on your Mac. Draft history stays there too. If you connect ChatGPT, Snapdraft sends the text you choose to rewrite to OpenAI.

- Transcription runs locally through whisper.cpp.
