A macOS menu-bar shortcut that rewrites, translates, or fixes grammar in whatever text field is focused.
RewriteBar sits in the macOS menu bar and rewrites, translates, or grammar-checks whatever text is selected in the active app, triggered by a keyboard shortcut rather than a copy-paste round trip to a browser tab. It works inside apps like Slack, Notion, Google Docs, Figma, and VS Code, and supports custom rewrite workflows beyond the built-in tone and grammar presets. Pricing is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription: 29 dollars for one device with 35,000 credits, or 59 dollars for three devices with a much larger monthly credit allowance. It is built by German indie developer Mathias Michel, based in Nuremberg.
29 dollars one-time for one device with 35,000 credits, or 59 dollars for three devices with a much larger monthly credit allowance; a free trial with 35,000 one-time credits is also offered.
Use tool ↗RewriteBar is a good fit for a macOS user who wants AI rewriting available by keyboard shortcut in any app rather than pasting text into a browser tab, and the one-time price is a genuine alternative to a subscription. The catch is it's Mac-only with no Windows or iOS version, and it's a single developer's product rather than a team with a support desk.
Watch out: The Pro tier's large monthly credit allowance comes bundled with a separate Gateway subscription that renews yearly.
