What our research says

Scraib.app

Scraib's whole value is the keyboard shortcut — select text anywhere on a Mac, hit Control-R, and get a rewrite without copy-pasting into a separate app. Being a solo-developer product, the $3.99 monthly fee is reasonable, but the site itself was intermittently unreachable during research, which is worth checking before paying.

Pros

One shortcut works across 20+ different Mac apps instead of a separate tool per app
Supports a local Ollama model, so text never has to leave the machine
Lets a user bring their own API key for a flat one-time fee instead of a recurring one

Cons

Mac-only, with no Windows or web version
Built and maintained by one developer, with no larger company behind it
The main site returned server errors more than once during this review

Wordtune

Wordtune still does the one thing it was built for better than the general assistants do, but its owner is in visible trouble and the product has not shipped news in two years. Cheap and useful today, risky as a dependency.

Pros

Rewrites preserve intent instead of paraphrasing into something else, which is the whole point
In-place browser extension avoids the copy-paste round trip
Cheapest tier is under $5 a month on annual billing

Cons

Parent AI21 Labs is in financial distress: a $300M round never closed, acquisition talks with NVIDIA and then Nebius, and reported layoffs above 60%
The product blog has not been updated since June 2024 and the site footer still reads 2025
AI21's own site no longer mentions Wordtune anywhere, suggesting it is no longer a strategic product
Free tier's 10 rewrites a day is exhausted in a single editing session
