Global macOS shortcut that rewrites selected text anywhere with AI
It uses macOS Accessibility hooks and a global hotkey to send your selection to OpenAI/Anthropic/OpenRouter and replace it inline — no copy/paste or separate chat window. Clever, focused UX choices (BYO API key in Keychain, optional trigger mode) make it immediately useful for flow-based writing, but it isn’t novel technology and privacy depends on your chosen provider; local model support is still missing.
