Free Runs on Apple's on-device model

Write better in every Mac app.

Select text in Slack, Mail, Chrome or anywhere else. Press ⌃⌥P. Verbaine fixes, rewrites or summarizes it in place, without sending a word off your Mac.

Help that stays out of your way

A menu-bar app with one shortcut. No new window to switch to, no text to paste back.

Runs on your Mac, not a server

Verbaine uses the language model Apple already installs with macOS. No account, no subscription, no per-request cost, and it works offline.

Works where Writing Tools don't

Including Slack, Discord and browsers.

See every change

Edits are highlighted word by word, so you know exactly what's different before you accept it.

Undo works like it always has

Replace pastes the result into the app, so that app's own ⌘Z brings your original back.

Long text, handled honestly

Too long for one pass? It's split at sentence boundaries, never cut off silently.

Bring your own model if you want one

Point Verbaine at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The key is stored in your Keychain, and the menu bar tells you whenever text is leaving your Mac.

Six actions. One shortcut.

Pick one from the panel, or give each its own hotkey. Try them here.

Your text

Result

Your words stay on your Mac.

Legal, finance, healthcare, or a company that bans cloud AI tools: Verbaine works without a network connection, so nothing you write is uploaded.

No account

Nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to.

No cloud by default

Text goes online only if you set up your own endpoint, and the menu bar shows it.

No history kept

Each action starts fresh. Nothing carries over between requests.

Install in a minute

Verbaine isn't notarized yet, so macOS asks you to approve it once.

  1. Download the latest release and move Verbaine to Applications.
  2. Open it. macOS says it can't verify the app. That's expected.
  3. In System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway.
  4. Allow Accessibility when asked, so Verbaine can read your selection.

Needs an Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 26.4 or later, and Apple Intelligence turned on.

Free, private, and ready in the menu bar.
